the lower firmware has more options, in terms of a softmod exploit for booting CFW, while the 5.x one will require external hardware for booting into CFW (i.e tx dongle, RCM jig/ way to launch payload i.e phone, PC etc), or you can use the AUTO RCM mod that also forces the console into RCM mode all the time which means you would then just need a payload injector and not need the RCM jig

ultimately its upto you, you can boot a higher firmware on the 3.x one without burning effuses following this guide
https://gbatemp.net/threads/how-to-...nofficially-without-burning-any-fuses.507461/

which will mean for now you will need to use a RCM jig to boot, but eventually one the softmod is made available for booting CFW you will be able to downgrade back to 3.x and use the sofmod

I would stick to the 3.0.1 Switch for now if I were you. At least until CFW gets more fleshed out and user friendly imo.

Ok.
Thank you so much
3.0.1 will have to stay.
I don't care about banning.
I am not into online playing.
I want cfw and the ability to play game dumps.
That's all...
Same with my 3.7 ps4 console.
Didn't have time to jailbreak it ..
But i am waiting for a weekend to do my ps4, switch and ps vita 3.65
But i am waiting first for cfw for switch.

Guess we can lock this thread now. Or do you want more advice from us?

    It was waiting for you to order another one.
    Seems like, your PSU was waiting for a partner.
  • JuanMena @ JuanMena:
    Keep them both
    separated or you'll have more PSUs each year.

    @SylverReZ find me ONE community that is free of drama and politics. even video games forums (like this one) have politics section. and for some reason gamers still take consoles/brands wars seriously. even as a kid i never took the console wars bait despite being a nintendo kid.
  • Vetusomaru @ Vetusomaru:
    one of the reasons i deleted all my social media accounts, reddit account (although i was rarely using it) etc was to get away from this shit.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Vetusomaru, Sadly, not all communities like to play nice. Forums are pretty much dying despite Discord amongst other social media being available.
  • Vetusomaru @ Vetusomaru:
    i only kept my twitter accounts and only because many of the artists i like share their art only/mostly at twitter.
  • Vetusomaru @ Vetusomaru:
    lots of discord groups (even the big ones) are also dead for some reason.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    Twitter is way too shittier.
  • Vetusomaru @ Vetusomaru:
    that's why i added some firefox addons to block shit like twitter trends.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    Discord, on the other hand, moderation tends to not be very nice in video game communities from what I had experienced.
  • Vetusomaru @ Vetusomaru:
    nah, discord is also a shithole. discord is good only if you have your own community with your own rules. or if you re lucky to find some groups that arent shitholes.
