Hi there,
I have an unpatched Switch that I updated to 8.1.0 before I became aware of CFWs/homebrews - 10 burnt fuses.

I did a full backup (BOOT1/2, NAND, keys, fuses), then I set up emuNAND via Hekate/Nyx (5.0.0).
My configuration is the following:

- sysNAND: Clean 8.1.0 / untouched / play online
- emuNAND: Copy of sysNAND (8.1.0) / Atmosphere 0.9.2 / 90DNS / homebrews

Most of the homebrew I need works flawlessy on 8.1.0, apart from Amiibo emulation, but I can live with it.

The question: is there any point on downgrading my emuNAND via ChoiDujourNX?
(I read somewhere that if I downgrade I would have to use AutoRCM to prevent the Switch from panicking, or is it just for the sysNAND?)

I've seen plenty of people running lower firmwares, and I was wondering if there's a reason to keep it low like that.

Thanks!

People stay on lower firmware becuase they're hoping for untethered hacks, since you already bruned so many, its kinda pointless to downgrade.

With 10 burnt fuses, you cannot get any benefit from being on anything lower than 8.1.0.
