Assuming that tx will support hdds in the future, then yes. As long as you have the licence file on the root of your SD card/hdd, you'll be able to use it. The licence is tied to the console, not the card

thanks makes sense i hope external hdd suport wil come

Is there a high chance that we will be banned from online services if we use sx os?

Will emunand make the chances of getting banned lesser?

Hard to quantify chances of being banned using SX OS online. Also, the purpose of EmuNAND is not to reduce the chances of being banned when going online with hacks. One of its uses is to go online safely without using hacks. If you go online with either NAND and that same NAND loaded hacks at any point, you risk both NANDs getting banned.

not a question, more of a seeking advice
I have a switch still on 2.0 with my nintendo account still linked, and currently getting a new one (a mario odyssey bundle so it should come with 3.x) for playing with SX OS
so I was thinking to keep my 2.0 switch for later when atmosphere released and use emunand once it available to play latest game and buy games from eshop, and as for the new switch I'm gonna update only to 4.1.0 as later FWs is not possible to have a coldboot hack
question is, is it worth it? because that means I even need to resort to hacks just to have exfat support on 4.1.0, while I can just update to 5.1.0 and could care less about that, although I don't plan to play games with FW >4.1.0 for now

First off, this is scary how similar this is to my exact situation so I think I can provide the best rationale for this. I bought 2 Switches when Mario Odyssey was released. I updated one to 3.0 because that was the previous golden firmware while the other was updated freely as possible to play Odyssey and other games I wanted. After finished XC2, I never updated it any further and luckily for me it was on 4.1 which is the highest firmware so far to have a confirmed softmod. That being said, both consoles are no longer being updated anymore until the exploits or EmuNAND is released (Smash Ultimate will also make me update but that's not until December). So lets now move onto the actual advice portion.

Something to clarify is that there are no other coldboots in the works. What you are referring to and what people on lower firmwares are currently waiting for is a warmboot softmod. Its going to be like loading a webpage to use hacks, but at least it doesn't involve the use of a jig and USB cable. Now, outside of games that require online play, I don't think there are any current games that require 5.1 in order to play. Also, while the exFAT update can be grabbed without updating, if you're going to be using Atmosphere, it will have exFAT support enabled much like SX OS. This all depends on how much you're going to be using one over the other. While SX OS is more complete, Atmosphere can eventually catch up and possibly outspeed it. So to keep your options as open as possible, it might be best to update your firmware using the guide in the Tutorials subsection while keeping a NAND backup of your 4.1.

wow thanks for lengthy answer, was expecting a harsh one then

yeah that's what I actually meant
not a fan of carrying additional hardware (even a very small dongle) just to be able to play

was thinking about this but after knowing that if by accident I boot to stock firmware (yes I know autoRCM is a thing), I'll risk burning the fuses. so no

thanks again for your answer

Hey, I have a couple of questions.

Here's the situation: I'd like to buy Just dance on the switch's eshop (2017 or 2018) and I want to buy the just dance unlimited subscription.

I'm planning on getting a SX Pro in the future.

My questions are:

1) If I, somehow, get banned for using SX Pro. Will I be able to play Just dance in OFW bought from e-shop?

2) Will I be able to play Just Dance Unlimited? does it work as an online feature that may block through a ban?

Any help would be appreciated.

1) if you get banned, it will only affect your ability to use network features such as accessing the eshop and playing online. It will not prevent you from playing your games offline (backups or purchased).
2) I don't know what's the difference between unlimited and the others since I never played any game from this series. But online features won't work once you have been banned.

Quick question? How does one use the microSD card to transfer saves between Switches, as I recently bought a second Switch (my previous one is for hacks) and I'd like to be able to play online with this new switch? Or do you have to update to do this, my original switch is on 5.0.2 and my new switch is on 5.1.0. (I think it's an original switch too so hacks can be installed on it in case.)

You have to use a save editor to dump the saves onto the SD card then logically the same save editor you used to dump them in order to restore them into the new Switch. Save editors include EdiZon, Checkpoint, and Y'allAreNuts. Both Switches of course must be hacked since there is no other way to transfer saves until Nintendo implements their cloud service.

I plan on updating from 5.0.2 to 5.1.0. Is there anything that doesn't work on 5.1.0?

DuelUtility · Jul 3, 2018

If someone here could help me, that would be amazing. I didn't realize that I wouldn't be able to charge my switch if it died in AutoRCM - and it died. I left my switch on the wall charger (the one that gets plugged into the dock, right?) overnight and nothing has come of it. My switch doesn't show up when plugged into my computer either.

Help?

Since 5.1 doesn't burn any new fuses in comparison to 5.0.2, you can make a backup of your 5.0.2 NAND then update and restore your 5.0.2 should you encounter any reason to go back. As far as I know, there is no usefulness of 5.0.2 over 5.1 but I can be wrong.

AutoRCM reduces the charge rate of the Switch in RCM. Its not that its not accepting charge, but its accepting charge a lot slower than usual. If you leave it on a charger long enough, it'll eventually be able to boot into RCM and from there you can either remove AutoRCM or boot the Switch into Horizon/CFW to charge it normally.

My question may be stupid.
But if I restore a nand of a banned switch on a second switch and returns to my legitimate nand to play online
it's possible?

edit :
I have my answer ,nands are console unique.

DocBo · Jul 3, 2018

Are there some emulators that nearly work 100% (WITH SOUND) on a switch 1.0.0?
I am waiting and waiting but emulators are still very buggy or not running on 1.0.0.

Console bans restrict the ability to play games online and access the eShop. That is because both of these services require accessing Nintendo's servers where they can restrict access. Local play doesn't involve connecting to Nintendo's servers so it will work. Now if Nintendo was really evil, they could restrict online play for banned consoles but that would seem like overkill. Haven't seen anybody test this (mostly because you need 2 Switches) but it should work in theory.

I tested it out today with 2 switches and at least in Mario Kart's case, the option to play LAN locally didn't even require a Nintendo Account to be setup. Most of the MP games I have 4 copies of for each of my family members, so if I do get the banhammer I will know right away what works/doesn't and let you guys know since my certs are legit for games I'd be using LAN/Online. Ideally in a proper consumer world, we'd be allowed to make digital copies of our carts to carry forward for both convenience and archival purposes but eh here we are =/

You are right though, it seems as long as you aren't using a Nintendo server to connect you are good to play no matter what happens to your switch. I have to try out Minecraft next since it's a weird mesh of Nintendo AND MS accounts.

Would hombrew be available if I update to latest FW to update BOTW? Also what are the advantages of having a lower FW instead of the latest for a basic user who is interested in backups?

RAGER · Jul 3, 2018

Hello guys!
I'm total noob in Switch, so I will be glad for some help and clarifications. Thanks in advance!
1. I have a Switch with 2.2.0 firmware. So using guide to upgrade without burning fuses I can freely switch between 2.0.0/2.1.0/2.2.0/2.3.0 firmware versions and I can use them as OFW (w/o RCM and Hekate) also with internet? Or it will be dangerous to use 2.0.0 and 2.1.0 with Internet, cuz Nintendo knows that my console comes with 2.2.0 from the factory?

2. Is there working method to restore full nand via Hekate, and what are dangers? Found info.

3. If I update my console w/o burning fuses to 3.0.2 to play some recent games via SX OS (completely offline), what is the best method to restore my original 2.2.0 state, via upgrade guide or restoring original full nand via Hekate or etc?

4. If I install AutoRCM how do I need to completely shutdown my console (I know that it best to charge it while in OFW/CFW)? Via OS, button or Hekate menu?

5. What is the logic of Wi-Fi connectivity? Do I really need to be in Airplane mode all the time? What if I do not activate Airplane mode, and do not manually connect to any network, will Switch autoconnect to any open wi-fi network that it sees? Or it is best to set a dummy wi-fi network and connect console to it?
