Hello!
I have a lot of experience with modded consoles, but I am fairly new to the Switch modding scene and the Switch in general.
My Switch HAC -001(-01) has a modchip and I wanted to update it to the latest version of Atmosphere, Hekate and firmware version 18.1.0. I was on the previous versions of all of these, so it was not an ancient one.
I did so yesterday and my Switch works great. Now, I only updated the EmuCFW through Daybreak, but I didn't update SysCFW or the official firmware at all since I never use those. Will this cause troubles in the future for me? If so, what is my best option to update these now that EmuCFW is already on AMS 17.0.1, Hekate 6.2.1 and HOS 18.1.0? I would be glad if I don't have to change anything, but I'm open to suggestions from more experienced people here.
Also, I did not update fusee.bin as https://switch.hacks.guide/ didn't mention that. Do I need to update it, too? If so, is it a simple copy-paste to the correct location?
Finally, do I need to update sigpatches, if that's still a thing? All the games I tried load without issues, but I did read somewhere that sigpatches are no longer the recommended way forward, but rather syspatch.
Let me know if I can provide any further information.
Thanks in advance!
