Do we still need AutoRCM to prevent efuses from being blown

Yes, AutoRCM is required to keep your efuses from being burnt. If you don't care about future exploits (i.e. You're good with using the RCM exploit forever), then you don't need to worry about efuses or downgrades.

Here are my two cents on this, the only reason i keep autorcm is to be able to flash my clean nand say from 5.1 (or whenever you decided to use homebrew on switch). If i dont keep autorcm and kept updating my switch using Choi to latest (with burning fuses) i would never be able to flash my clean nand when required (for e.g. right now with new emunand situation).

If i burn my fuses and flash my old firmware clean NAND the switch will never boot? Let me know if i am wrong here and there is some thing i am missing here.

Even if you burn fuses, you can still boot your clean NAND dump. You will just need to boot into RCM and use a bootloader that bypasses the fuse check which all custom bootloaders do by default.

Thanks, i knew i must be missing something. Although i have to say i also like autoRCM as i don’t like using jig to put switch in RCM mode every time i have to reboot.

    Eventhough the New 3DS XL is more powerful, I still feel like the DS Lite was a more polished system. It's a real shame that it never got an XL variant keeping the GBA slot. You'd have to go on AliExpress and buy an ML shell to give a DS phat the unofficial "DS Lite" treatment, and that's the best we'll ever get I'm afraid.

    The phat model had amazingly loud speakers tho.

    @Jayro, I don't see whats so special about the DS ML, its just a DS lite in a phat shell. At least the phat model had louder speakers, whereas the lite has a much better screen.

    They probably said "Hey, why not we combine the two together and make a 'new' DS to sell".

    It's a DS Lite in a slightly bigger DS Lite shell.

    It's not a Nintendo / iQue official product, it's a 3rd party custom.

    Nothing special about it other than it's more comfortable than the Lite
