Hi guys!
I've been looking to hack my console but I feel confused reading all of the available articles. I know I have Raj, Rei, Atomosphere, and SXOS to choose from. I was planning on installing Rei. I purchased a R4s Dongle while I was in China. I just got a 128gb SD card in the mail today. Here is where I get confused, I am running version 4.0.1 and the update to 6.1.0 is pending.
My SD card isn't supported since I am below version 6.x.x, so I need to update. Some guides reference updating to 6.0.1 then making a NAND copy to revert to; other guides warning that switches burn "fuses" during updates so I need make sure I don't boot into an older/newer FW. Tons of guides warn me not to update my console; but if I don't then I cannot use this SD card and I cant play many games since loading NAND of a 4.0.1 console after I've updated the CFW to 6.1.0 could brick my console. Also, I see references of nogc for 4.x.x consoles? I'd really just like to know if I can update to 6.1.x and be able to play xci and nsp files offline, then restore a nand backup of before I hacked if I wanna go online.
Next question. Several guides reference free firmwares having the ability to play XCI content now; however the only guides I found referenced converting XCI to NSP which defeats the purpose. Can free firmwares actually play XCI content?
Are free firmwares able to setup emunand? So I can just choose not to boot into emunand and be safe online, or boot into emunand and stay offline?
Sorry guys, I legitimately read a ton of guides and stickies but I am still very confused. I've hacked 3ds's and flashed/soldered xbox 360's np; it's just the information on the switch is hard to follow.
