Hello,
Okay so here's the situation : Unpatched switch, started to use cfw on 5.1 (clean NAND backup made with Hekate right before that), updated on 6.2 without burning fuses. The switch has never been connected to internet since i joined the dark side, airplane mode constantly on.
And i enjoy it everyday, but, a friend of mine recently got a switch and i wish to play Monster Hunter with him, online (It doesnt have LAN mode, so no lan-play without kip file, and my friend doesnt want to hack his switch).
So, i understand i need to downgrade from 6.2>5.1, restore my clean NAND backup, and then update to the latest firmware and use my switch in a fully legal way. (Any additional advice here is welcome)
My first question is : Is it possible, once i restored my clean 5.1 nand backup, to update >8.0.1 without burning fuses, and go online? I can't find a clear answer to that anywhere.
I am worried because i keep seeing peoples having issues with hack on the latest firmware, and i want to hack my switch again whenever my friend and I are tired of MHGU. So having a way to go back to 5.1 later would just make it a little bit more pleasing.
If not, can someone clarify, is 8.0.x still problematic ? If i remember correctly i've seen problems with corrupted saves, themes not working, nsp not starting.
