    Tutorial How to install/run ANY Switch firmware UNOFFICIALLY (WITHOUT burning any fuses)

    Perfect thanks Drax - so basically start at step 5 right? Get the version I need, load ChoiNX, make sure I tick exfat and autorcm and fire away. I guess if I was being super careful I could backup my user partition for all the save games since i upgraded to 3.0.2. My original pre hack backup is...

    Tutorial How to install/run ANY Switch firmware UNOFFICIALLY (WITHOUT burning any fuses)

    Also curious about this. Used CNX to go from 3 to 3.0.2. Autorcm and exfat enabled. If I now want to go to 5 or 6. Do I just follow the steps as I did or do I have to first go back to 3 and then up to 5 or 6?

    Hacking Hot Swap USBC XCI success and questions

    So with that device would you have your xci on a microsd, plugged into that device which in turn is connected to the switch's usb c port? If that is right then i'm guessing you cant use it docked or plug charger in? Or have i misunderstood the point of that device?

    Cheers. Ok that makes sense. And I guess the only downside to updating now is if I want to downgrade back to below 4 I won't be able to use the physical gamecart slot at all but I'd still be able to mount any xci I like using sxos right? It just breaks physical cartridge access?

    Gamecart slot firmware Q. So I get how the fuses work with the main Switch OS – fuses only burn if you boot into OFW and it detects a lower number of fuses burnt for that OS version. I’m safe as I have AutoRCM enabled. What I’d like to get my head around is how the gamecart slot works. I am...

    Hacking SWITCH NOOB PARADISE - Ask questions here

    Hi guys sorry if already answered. I know on OFW the right way to switch SD card is to fully power down and then do it. Whats the right way when using sxos and autorcm...knowing a full shutdown will just reboot into rcm? So is it a corruption risk for my sd card to eject it while in rcm? Two...

    Hacking Question [Poll] What CFW are you currently using

    In the whole xci vs nsp debate. Purely from a factual/technical view point (for a noob like me) is this right?: Xci - place file on SD card and open from there directly with sxos. Therefore can store as many games as your SD card can store Nsp - you still store source file on SD but have to...

    Got it, cool thanks. I'll do some digging on these forums to bring myself up to speed on the nogc kip1 patch for Hekate. If it's pretty straight forward i may do that too and just go all the way. Really is great how much is happening on this scene so early on.

    Yeah thanks guys - i did think about just going all the way to latest FW but then i'm sure i read that the game card slot updates at FW4 (and maybe i didnt quite understand this point). So if i'm right then i think i'd need to look at the block on this too which just adds that little bit more...

    Ah - good catch Jdbye! The one i got is this one from Amazon: amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B017XDUUY2/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 I'll definitely do some googling on this. Thankfully it was cheap so hoepfully not a complete waste of money. Thanks!
