For Now I have sysNAND in last firmware 21.x and stay at 19.0.1 in EmuNAND

Everything works as I need. I have read about lack of memory with 20 or 21 firmware in EmuNAND

For now I think that FW is going to change quickly due to switch 2 and its a headache update EmuNAND for few or none advantages

What do you think? Which could be the need to do it for now?
 
I am on 19.0.1 and currently I have no plan for upgrading. All games I am interested in works fine

Nothing significantly new has been added to the FW21 so why not stay on FW19?
Most things added were either for dealing with Switch2 transfers or minor UI updates.

Agree. Just to be sure, I thought that switch 1 develop was on years before. Now is updating for switch 2 and we are gonna be crazy updating FW for CFW
 
6 months later I was thinking to update my 19.0 to 20.5 in emummc
Last games require 20.5 and 8 don’t want to change every time
Pros vs cons?
Better compatibility, worse memory free for sus module.
8 think is not the worse as 22 or 23 memory lack and I am not a hard user of mods and sys modules I guess

I updated mine from firmware 19 to 20 a few months ago, the system overall became very sluggish and all games took a very long time to boot, two or three times longer than on firmware 19. I would not update at all, unless you really need to play Rhythm Heaven Groove.

Supposedly firmware 23 fixes an issue where games take a very long time to start, but I don't know if that affects emunand in any way.
 
there are two games now, Minecraft dungeon 2 is one of them
I have tried use SDK to try load with 19.0 but I can’t for now

There are a few, some will work with the SDK replacement method, but many won't. If the additional slowdown from updating wasn't so bad I'd do it, but having a slower OS, and especially those extremely long loading times make it not worth it.
 
Regaring CFW in Emmunand, with my experience being in 21.1.0 and now updated to 22.5.0, I would like to add one important feature... To play online!
You need FW 22.5.0 to use Nextendo and play online in the current supported games.

I'd use Daybreak for firmware update.

I could downgrade after upgrade?

Yes, but it's probably not that simple and according the info what I've gathered it would mean reinstalling all the installed titles, maybe downgrading some of the homebrew and in some cases- when downgrading from FW >20.x.x running this:
 
I had the same question, because my OFW is 21.1.0 and I wanted to update only the Emmunand to 22.5.0 to play online.
And it's really straightforward.
My case switch V1 unpatched
1) Update your Atmosphere and Hekate to the last version (or at least the one compatible with FW 22.5.0) and Reboot
2) Install FW 22.5.0 with daybreak
3) Select Preserve settings + fat32+exfat
4) Reboot

Note: If you use DBI, you will need to update Prod.keys and Title.keys to the ones compatible with FW 22.5.0 (google for more info)
 
If you have space for it on your sd card you can actually run up to 3 emunands. I have one at 19.x, one at 20.x and one at the current firmware. You can even set boot entries for each and switch between them using ultrahand.
