I just got a switch and I don't really want to update until Atmosphere is released and I know 100% what the capabilities are.

However, I'd really like to download a few games, which I cannot do without updating.

Is there any way for me to access eShop games or somehow side-load official binaries?

You can update to 5.1.0 without burning any efuses if you follow the guide. That will allow you to downgrade if you ever want to.

Out of curiosity, which version are you currently on?

3.0.2 currently. I'll check out that guide, thanks for the link. I've been mildly aware of the Switch hacking scene but I haven't really read anything in depth yet. I suppose it is time to dive right in.

you have to be on the very latest version to download from the eshop. there's no way around it.

It would help if you would read earlier posts

It should be noted that, in order to keep your efuses from being burnt, you will have to install AutoRCM as part of the above guide.

  • JuanMena @ JuanMena:
    Will you give me mouth to mouth oxygen if my throat closes?
  • K3N1 @ K3N1:
    Nah the air can do that
  • K3N1 @ K3N1:

    Yes it requires a degree
  • K3N1 @ K3N1:
    I could also yank out the rest of my teeth but theirs professionals for that
  • x65943 @ x65943:
    If your throat closes, putting oxygen in your mouth will not solve anything - as you will be introducing oxygen prior to the area of obstruction
  • JuanMena @ JuanMena:
    Just kiss me Kyle.
  • x65943 @ x65943:
    You either need to be intubated to bypass obstruction or create a stoma inferior to the the area of obstruction to survive
  • x65943 @ x65943:
    "Just kiss me Kyle." And I thought all the godreborn gay stuff was a smear campaign

  • JuanMena @ JuanMena:
    It was waiting for you to order another one.
    Seems like, your PSU was waiting for a partner.
  • JuanMena @ JuanMena:
    Keep them both
    separated or you'll have more PSUs each year.
  • K3N1 @ K3N1:
    Well one you insert one PSU into the other one you get power
  • JuanMena @ JuanMena:
