I have 2 switches. One patched model for online play, one offline unpatched model running homebrew on emuMMC.
I want to merge the two setups together onto my hacked Switch, and get rid of the patched one. 2 emuMMCs on the sd card, one for online, one for offline, both using CFW. Based on this guide.
Here's an outline of what I plan to do:
1) Take unpatched Switch, use Hekate to format microsd card with 2 emuMMC partitions
2) Create a new emuMMC by cloning sysnand ("online")
3) Load the online emuMMC through Atmosphere. Connect to the internet and update through the system settings
4) Confirm that there's no ban
5) Perform system transfer from patched Switch
Then setup the offline emuMMC:
6) Use Hekate's "Migrate emuMMC" option to restore the old emuMMC ("offline") to the 2nd partition
7) Load the offline emuMMC, confirm it works
8) Switch between the two emuMMCs from Hekate
9) Confirm that there's no ban for the online emuMMC
I have several questions about this process.
1) Will going online on a clean emuMMC with Atmosphere result in a ban?
This is assuming it's unmodified and has no homebrew usage. I only want to use emuMMC to preserve my sysnand's low firmware and to switch between the two emuMMCs easily.
I previously assumed using CFW online in any form was unsafe, but apparently it's fine as long as you don't modify anything.
2) Are the internet settings across sysnand and different emuMMC partitions separate?
I only want the clean emuMMC going online. I want to confirm that adding my wifi on that emuMMC won't add it to sysnand or the offline emuMMC.
3) How do I safely update an online emuMMC?
I can't use homebrew to update it, because I assume that will flag a ban. If I update via system settings, and the system reboots, will that only modify the clean emuMMC? I don't want it modifying sysnand, the system's burnt fuse count, or anything else.
4) Does anything I do on the offline emuMMC affect the online emuMMC?
I want to keep the two completely isolated.
5) Can I use any homebrew online without getting banned?
I assume the answer is no, but it can't hurt to ask.
