I have a day one switch on firm 2.1.0. Can it do Homebrew the same as a 5.0+ console? (can it run the same homebrew apps and function at the same speeds?). I'm asking because I want to use my day one model as a retro machine (retroarch) and that's it. I have a second switch I buy my switch games for so am not worried about exfat yada yada unless some homebrew needs it, but that idk.
AFAIK I would have to run pegaswitch as my way to HBmenu instead of a jig. are there any downside for being on a lower firm besides not having exfat?. Most users it seem have updated and pegaswitch seems outdated.
I've been reading and trying to keep up with the scene but it's kind of a jumbled mess at the moment and hard for me to follow.
Thanks for answers in advanced
The FG exploit works on all switchs prior to July this year in which they were ipatched consoles. Meaning for you with your 2.1 console all you need is a jig and the cfw files
