Thanks for reply.
Is there a link to upgrading for a noob on here?
Also i haven't soldered any pins, i just use sx os and the rcm clip. Does this mean if i allow the over the air update the joycons can update without banning my switch?

Like I said, its as simple as using ChoiDujourNX. There are no "guides" for using a homebrew application because the homebrew application is straightforward. I can link you to its GBATemp thread which not only gives you a download link but some basic FAQ answered by the author. Also if you update online without restoring a clean eMMC backup (assuming you aren't already running a clean eMMC), you present a ban risk to the console regardless if you update the Joy-Cons or not.
Well, the Switch is basically a phone so the proper handling relates to the lithium battery it uses. Like all rechargeable batteries, degradation is inevitable but you can slow it down with proper technique. Meaning, the goal is to always keep the battery around 20 to 80% and never full nor empty in order to get the best battery longevity. While charging alone has no effect on the battery life, charging it to ensure it never drops below 20% is necessary if you want to keep the battery for as long as possible.
i get that and i indeed try to make sure charges are proper but what i wanna know is if its bad for the battery or even an overheating problem to be playing while charging the device?!will it even charge or just powering the device for the game?!thnx again
As far as I know, I haven't seen it be an issue. If it was that big of a problem, more people would have complained about it.
Uh oh... I used Hekate to turn on AutoRCM before I saved the OFW (etc) backup. When I later restore the backups, turn off AutoRCM, reboot into OFW, and go online, can it be detected and banned due to the AutoRCM changing stuff?
It should not. Nobody has been banned for using AutoRCM alone so its widely believed to be one of the few "safe" hacks.
I've got a 2017 switch (XAW100140) on 2.1. I wanted to know if there was a "better"/easier exploit method or cfw for older devices and firmwares? Or if it's just best to follow the most recent guides "switch.homebrew.guide". I mainly want to run games off sd card, for reference.
( Yes/No answers are fine. Sorry for so many questions ;-; )
Does cfw have any lag, compared to stock?
Does emunand have any lag?
I saw certain games require a higher firmware. Do some methods not work on higher firmware?
Would I still have been able to run the exploits if I had updated my firmware, because my switch isn't patched?
Unrelated, but I haven't had any luck with the nes golf easter egg. I assume my switch is new, but if someone else had connected it to the internet, returned it ( giant dead pixel mid screen
), and factory reset it, would I no longer be able to change the date manually? The console still had battery after sitting on my shelf for 4 years.

- The best method of hacking unpatched consoles such as yours is with Fusee Gelee. This is an exploit that involves sending a payload via USB while the Switch is in RCM. The guide you mentioned will explain more details to you but this can be easily accomplished with just a paperclip and USB cable
- I have personally never seen CFW perform slower than OFW nor have I ever heard anyone bring that up
- emuMMC also performs at roughly the same pace as sysMMC
- Fusee Gelee is an exploit that takes advantage of the hardware only found in unpatched units. Therefore the software, otherwise known as the firmware, is irrelevant
- The method of launching FLOG was patched out in a firmware update shortly after people were able to launch it using Pegaswitch. There is a way of launching it but this bypasses the normal requirements. If you're interested, you can follow this guide
Any usage of CFW and/or homebrew can get you banned. There is nothing that will guarantee a ban but there is also nothing safe.
What do you mean by "swap my emuMMC out with my sysNAND in order to transfer accounts"? Are you trying to say that you use one SD card for sysMMC and another for emuMMC? If so, why? If not, please explain what exactly you are doing because it doesn't seem to be efficient with or without file-based emuMMC.
Well I hate to break it to you but having modified saves in sysMMC is arguably worse than using homebrew since modifying save files means modifying files on your console which Nintendo can track. Although if you have already gone online at least once, you're already flagged so no point crying over spilled milk. If you really are willing to do this amount of work while still taking the risk of getting banned, switching over to file-based emuMMC may not be so bad. But partition-based emuMMC still holds some advantages over sysMMC such as being less susceptible to corruption and I think performance being slightly faster. If you are fine with these trade-offs, then file-based emuMMC may just be ideal for you in your given scenario.
