No, it is to prevent the update of gamecard slot software. Without nogc if you decide to downgrade to a lower than 4.0 firmware your gc slot will not work

 

Thank you !! These patches solved the problem of damaged games.

 

"Damaged" in a sense that installed NSP (aka pirated) were unlaunchable after booting Atmosphere due to lack of signature patches

 

the code for the patches is open source rather than nintendo code is what they mean

 

I think you're missing the point. As far as GBAtemp is concerned, these patches are "legal" to share because they don't contain code written by Nintendo. As to whether or not this stuff is actual legal in sense, is up to the courts to decide. Honestly though, Rajkosto has a good idea of what he's doing, so if he wrote and distributed these patches as part of his RajNX, they are 100% okay for this website. What The-4N did is just posting them in a place you can find it without having to download the entire CFW.

 

This only comes into play when you are going to update your switch using ChoiDujourNX, AND want to keep the option do downgrade back to 2.3.0 once DejaVu becomes available for it.

If you're leaving it at 2.3.0 you can use the 2.00-6.01 patches. As soon as you upgrade, BEFORE rebooting, you'll need to have the 4.00-6.01 nogc patches installed instead of the other ones. ChoiDujourNX will take care of AutoRCM so your fuses won't get burnt, but you will have to install those nogc patches so your gamecard controller firmware doesn't' get updated.

 

I understood what their point was. I'm just not sure that redefining the world "legal" helps.

I don't doubt that gbatemp will be happy to host them.

 

Amazing !!

Is there an option to ignore update from newer games and still play them ?

For example, super Mario game cart wants me to upgrade to a newer fw in order to play.

Another situation I have run into is, I have Mario cart which runs fine but I tried to play locally with a buddy who has a newer version fw and it wants me to upgrade as well.

Thanks for the help !’

 

I guess I could update without burning fuses after creating a backup in order to play it ?

I wish there was a how to somewhere, but all the info is on these forums .. just hard to find sometimes

 

Here's how to Do it the quick and easy way.
