Hacking Question Hackable Switch - What’s the best solution, where do I start?

Something you should be cautious about is that the Homebrew menu opens up just by choosing the Album app on most CFWs, which could be a problem with hiding anything dangerous. AFAIK the Atmosphere CFW is the most customisable, and this function can be removed just by moving a file off the SD, it's also free and works like any other CFW, just without .XCI support.

The only diference between SXOS and others CFW is that you can use .XCI while other only .NSP, .XCI is easier to find to download, but you can covert it anyway. I like ReinX, but you need to take a look at your firmware, the 6.2.0 isn't able to install CFW, but soon it will be solved.

Plus emuNAND, plus USB drive support, plus they are adding more features all the time.

Just to keep the number of topics to a minimum i would ask a question here:

"No online thats clear, but when you buy the games you want to play online, can you play those on the same switch with cfw online?"

Im curious if you can play both pirated games offline and legal buyed games online, or are there traces? like save files or settings files that can be or will be risky?

Sorry for asking and thanks for listening

That's completely risky. Running any CFW then going online even at a later time is a risk of a ban. Nintendo has coding that can tell. They say you can restore your nand each time you use cfw then go online but that takes like an hour. Not very practical.

With sx os you have .xci loading, usbHDD support, cheat support(cheat engine-like) and EMUnand. Its the best and most simple solution for the end user.

I was considering getting SX OS for the usb hdd support, would I be able to use my sd card and usb hdd at the same time?
