Hi so I found an unpatched unit (used) for sale and I fear it might have been updated to the latest firmware without using ChoiDujourNX or daybreak.

So my question is whether it's possible to lose autorcm or perhaps recover this functionality? Thanks.

If it had AutoRCM set when it was updated it will lose that yes. However setting it again is as simple as booting to RCM through the joy con rail and going into Hekate or any other utility that can set AutoRCM and enabling it again. You never lose any "hacking" options by updating a v1 console since the exploits used are in hardware.

When updating without Daybreak/ChoiDujourNX then yes I think autorcm will have been disabled. But you can just re-enable it again inside of hekate provided you have a jig or some other method of getting into rcm.

AutoRCM is simply a corruption of BOOT0. BOOT0 is also firmware-specific so whenever the firmware is updated, BOOT0 is also updated which would indirectly remove AutoRCM. However this doesn't mean you can't just re-enable AutoRCM after a firmware update. Alternatively, you can use a homebrew application such as Daybreak or ChoiDujourNX to update your firmware instead in order to retain AutoRCM after they update your console.

    @SylverReZ, I dislike the kind of drm where you have to play single player games online all the time bc of some verification bs

    @SylverReZ, I also heard one of the Prince of Persia games was so unfinished that it required the "24/7 online" drm so a puzzle could be done and the game could be finished. And that when the Ubisoft servers were closed the (cracked) game was impossible to finish or something like that
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Xdqwerty, That's extra scummy. Ubisoft nowadays ship out incomplete games like Skull and Bones which was being worked on for nearly a decade now.

    Either that or their old games were unfinished aswell but we can't notice it
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I like that games can be fixed after the fact, hate that it's being abused via beta tests... And DLC... I was a 7800 owner back in the day and loved Impossible Mission, turns out I couldn't beat it because it was actually impossible lol
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I never knew about it at the time but a fixed version was available but you had to mail in your broken copy lol
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    So that version is semi rare
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @Psionic Roshambo, I have a rom of the ds version of impossible mission
