Will the below scenario result in burnt fuses?
and
Will this also cause my sysNAND to become inoperable given that sysNAND is on 5.1.0 and emuNAND is now on 6.1

Switch currently on 5.1.0 ==> load SXOS and create emuNAND on microSD ==> boot into emuNAND ==>
Scenario 1: update firmware to version 6.1 using ChoiDujourNX with autoRCM disabled
Scenario 2: update firmware directly from Nintendo's servers (when 6.2 becomes supported)

From my understanding the only way to burn fuses is by updating directly from Nintendo's servers, or by not having autoRCM enabled with ChoiDujourNX ... but do these rules still apply whilst in emuNAND/updating firmware in emuNAND?

Could you clarify the following based on scenario 1 please, so sysnand is on 5.1.0 and SD emuNAND is now on 6.1. Auto RCM is NOT enabled. Would booting to sysNAND through default bootloader (by mistake for example) burn fuses as if it was loading 6.1? Or will the sysNAND not take any notice of the emuNAND f/w version for fuse burning? Thanks

No? Why would it burn fuses for something which does not exist?

I have such scenario. No fuses burned.
5.1 nand boots like a charm.

how IS it posible? How did you update your emunand? Thought choidujour? I dont understand how dont burn fuses

Neither of those will burn fuses.
The only way of burning fuses is by booting through default bootloader.
But without auto rcm if you turn off emunand and turn on without a payload it will burn fuses right?
I' scared of burning more fuses than muy ofw is in. Im on 4.1 without updating emunand because i' m afraid ir a brick if a burn more than4.1 fuses(5 i think)

Because what burns fuses isn't the update, but booting to the higher FW version without CFW. And you can't ever boot into EmuNAND without CFW.

(AFAIK, this happens because the command that burns fuses is locked down during boot, likely to eliminate the possibility of a system or game bug/crash bricking the console by wrongly issuing the burn fuse command; this means the firmware itself is actually incapable of burning fuses, only the bootloader can do it.)

EmuNAND is not real nand so it is still 5.1 for me.
EmuNAND is 6.1 so for Switch I'm still on 5.1.

No AutoRCM.
Normal NAND is 5.1. Period.
EmuNAND + update with Choidjour or whatever is the proper name.
Whatever EmuNAND is, it's different story.
Both boot OK.
For Switch I'm still on 5.1

Never tried to turn AutoRCM on during EmuNAND update.
Thought it would be at least weird.

    Yeah but not like this.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It's not like they're complaining that their Slurpee is 99% ice or something, but if the cocktail calls for "shot of vodka, shot of vermouth, shot of gin, shot of Campari, three shots of juice, squirt of lemon" and ends up being a thimbleful of booze, that's a problem.

    Maybe.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    There was a comparison of the number of Ibuprofen poisonings before and after they limited the maximum dosage per box or per pill (i'll look that up). No limit on the number of boxes you can still buy as many as you want, so people argued it was pointless.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    But the number of (accidental) poisonings dropped because drinking an entire package of ibuprofen pills went from "I need a new liver" to "I need a new box of Ibuprofen".
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Here we have ketoprofen that used to be prescription-only because of the risk of toxic dosages, but then they halved the dose per pill and sell them in bottles of six pills apiece instead of twenty and it doesn't need a prescription any more. Yes you can buy more than one bottle but people simply don't.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Usually accidentally overdose of ibuprofen here is from people taking like cold medicine then ibuprofen for a headache and the combination is over what they need
