ROM Hack can bad pak configs damage switch?

[onibaku]

So I'll start off by saying forgive me for my lack of knowledge however, I have been trying to edit pak files for Outer Worlds on switch and this is my first time doing so. I have no experience with this and I frankly do not know what I have been doing. I took two pak files, one from an old patch and one from a new patch. I have been trying to import the settings from the old patch config to the new patch config (Overall i think it would look better).

Now since I really dont know what I've been doing, is there a possibility that my switch blows up or bricks when i run my updated config or would it simply cause a crash if its not compatible?

Edit:
These are the files i changed:
BaseSwitchScalability.ini
BaseSwitchDeviceProfiles.ini

99.9% It won't break your Switch.

Worst thing that might happen is the game hardlocking the entire console.

Afaik, there's little to no R/W operations to the NAND when playing games.

I just tried it and it did not break my switch, thank you for reassuring me

Only saves and bcats are accessing nand with write flag by game.

In my experience hardlocks by wrong/corrupt files are pretty rare, the worst thing that has happened is save corruption in games that writte settings into the save. In UE4 games I just get black screen or freeze but I still can close software.
