Hi all,
I'm making this post because last year I purchased a Wii U and at the time I knew absolutely nothing about it, or how to hack it. But with the help of this forum I learnt a lot and so many nice people educated me. I was able to hack it with ease and had absolutely no issues.
So now I've moved onto the Switch and I'm hoping I'll be able to get some similar help. Please forgive me if I've posted this in the wrong section of the forum.
Basically I have a Switch which I haven't touched for months, its just been sitting on my shelf. I want to get some use out of it so I decided to explore the hacking scene. My cousin successfully hacked his Switch using an Xecuter SX Pro and I'm hoping to go down the same route, the only problem is that he isn't currently in the country, so he can't help me.
Things I've purchased:
> Xecuter SX Pro (Includes: Dongle, tool to touch pins on joycon rail and software license)
> 200GB Micro SD, Class 10, 100mb/s
My Aim:
The goal is to use the dongle/hack to play "backups" off my micro SD card using the CFW. But I also want OFW on the Switch so I can play my owned, legit game cards online. I don't want to play any backups online. I don't want my CFW to even smell my WiFi connection, because I don't want to risk getting banned. - So to summarise. CFW = offline, backups, OFW = online, owned games.
My cousin has his setup so whenever you turn the Switch on it automatically boot the OFW, like it normally would. But then he can switch by using the pin tool, which then boots into an emulated CFW OS, which is also stored on his micro SD card. This is also how I want my Switch setup.
I also want to make sure I do all appropriate NAND backups and take all safety precautions before going through with it. So if I were to accidently brick it, I'd be able to restore/recover it.
Can anyone give some advice or any pointers? I hope I've explained the situation more clearly.
Thank you!!
