First and foremost I apologize if it’s a newbie question, but this is specific to the newest update of SX OS v2.4.1:

I own a switch firmware version 3.0.1. I made my NAND backup and the emunand. Added a XCI and a NSP filé to the root folder.

I read one of the features of the new OS is ignoring firmware requirements yet when I try loading the XCI I get an error message: The Game Card could not be read. The NSP installed but it won’t load as well. Says could not start software.

Am I doing something wrong? I assumed with the ignore firmware requirements the games would launch or must I update to a higher firmware to do so?

Thanks in advance!

No.
It can ignore FW version check during install but it doesn't guarantee it will work on your firmware.
