Like being able to utilize the current bootrom exploit known as Fusee Gelee? Plenty of advantages. I wouldn't be surprised if people started charging more for those.
such as?
Its not based on firmware, its based on the hardware the console uses which we identify using the serial number. The exploit we are currently using relies on a feature of the hardware to work meaning no firmware update will ever remove or patch the exploit; the only way to fix it is by changing the hardware.
The only difference between ipatched and unpatched units is the ability to use the current bootrom coldboot exploit known as Fusee Gelee; there are no other differences if you're referring to increased RAM or processing power. The existence of ipatched units are for the sole reason of patching out that one exploit, nothing more, nothing less.
ReiNX and RajNX are CFW; these are not to be confused with exploits. Permanent CFW =/= permanent coldboot exploit. These are two completely different things. On the 3DS, there was a persistent 3DS coldboot exploit by the name of B9S. However despite this exploit, CFW never became permanent because you can't have permanent CFW; the only way to have persistent CFW is by signing it with Nintendo's private key and these keys are never, if not usually, leaked for several reasons. We will most likely never achieve permanent CFW and there are currently no signs for a persistent coldboot exploit either.
Fusee Gelee is an exploit that requires the Switch to be in RCM because that's how the exploit works; its designed to cause an overflow in the Switch at which point hackers attach some extra code that is designed to do a number of things to the console such as loading CFW. However this exploit is temporary because that code is not written/flashed into the console.
bump.
You can use the same SD, and you will need it, as the CFW are stored in the SD, does barely take any space on it, games do...
i know, i just wasn't sure if the SD is formatted for CFW use if could also store NSP files at the same time, or they required a different kind of format and i would have to load CFW, then reformat to store games.
