Im on the latest update 5.1.0 i just homebrewed my nintendo switch using hakate and injecting the payload
I noticed that i cannot access online using the costum dns settings
(I was on update 5.1.0 while i did all of this)

So i have several questions

1)Is the dns settings im using compatible with 5.1.0?

2)Does switchappstore homebrew application require Wi-Fi to launch?

3)Since the dns settings block update method deletes update data Can i update my nintendo switch and still boot into cfw to use the homebrew menu?

So far ive been doing everything offline.

1. Which DNS do you mean? Update block or switchbrew DNS? (Both should be btw)
2. Yes.
3. Yes, once the "cfw" is made compatible with new fw (whenever that comes)

I used this guide https://switch.hacks.guide/blocking-updates to block updates
And realized that i couldnt connect to online to play online games even though the guide says you should be able to block updates while still being able to play online

Also For the third question so that means if i update my switch and try to inject the payload i wont be able to access homebrew menu?

You will be able to do it, but it might not be supported for few days once new fw with big changes comes.
The flash itself (RCM and payload) is independent of your FW.

    @Xdqwerty, People who create revival services for the Wii end up in disaster, same goes for Pretendo lol.

    @SylverReZ, atleast wiimmfii went fine although people only use it for Mario kart Wii
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    At least if they ban you for cheating, get another Wii. They're cheap as chips.

    Remember when RiiShop was a thing?
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    not really
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    It got shutdown because somebody "accidentally" leaked the database for the amount of people using the beta.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    RiiShop is the laziest way of downloading Wii games. Did somebody not think of this through?
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    although i ended up accidentally changing my nand with no way of going back bc i didn't know you needed a gamecube controller to restore it (i have a wii minus/1.1, which doesn't have gamecube controller support)
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @BakerMan, I think you're talking about the recovery mode that the SaveMii used, and also was to restore softbricked systems.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    If your NAND was hardbricked, then just buy another Wii. Or go with the dirty NAND flasher method.
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    and if i find the sd card i have my NAND backed up on, i can not only restore the NAND if i solder the right part in, but i can also put my NAND on dolphin, then i can play dolphin online, like PMEX Remix or MKWii Riibalanced
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    Brb
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @BakerMan, Oh yeah, that was a thing too. Dolphin does support Wiimmfi.
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    yeah you just need to put your NAND backup with wiimmfi on it
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    ngl i feel like if a bunch of my friends have wiis and know how to get wiimmfi and back up their NAND, then we could do a PMEX Remix tournament
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    maybe even add UMVC3/DBFZ and make it a biathlon/triathlon
