    You can move the game to the NAND after installation if it works fine, typically you don't want the NAND as the target location for game installation. 32GB Internal NAND ain't a lot of space anyway.

    Can someone elaborate on this?
    Worried about installing malicious code?

    I’m thinking of replacing my gamepad battery. There are batteries floating around on ebay, are they safe to use? I know the console is quite old now, would these batteries also be old and because of this have lost some of their capacity?

    not necessarily. it's just recommended that the NAND be for haxchi or especially cbhc only, then leave the NAND alone. you don't want something to get corrupted on there.

    This sounds like superstition to me :moogle:

    As long as you're installing titles from NUS, what would corrupt NAND?
    The only thing I would be wary of installing to NAND are homebrew titles and VC injects.
