Hello, I would like to know if I only have to see if the serial number is unpatched ? Also, do I need to check the firmware version or the switch with an unpatched serial number can be hacked on any firmware versions (even the last one) ?

Thanks

Unpatched can be hacked on any firmware, yes. Unpatched means hackable forever.

Okay thanks ! I have other questions, I’m not sure if I should open a new thread…

- I saw someone talking about sysnand and Emunand (I don’t really know what these are) and I would like to know if it is possible to keep the sysnand clean with no CFW on which I will buy legit games and play them online and have an Emunand offline on which I only play hacked games but only offline ? And by doing this, is is possible to get banned ?

- Do you know the best guide to do that ?

- Do you know if there is a way to update the games on the Emunand since it will be offline ?

Thanks

That's what most people do. And it should be perfectly safe since the emuNAND is completely isolated.

You can access internet on emuNAND, you just need to block nintendo services by blanking you prodinfo (serial info). As for the guides, there are plenty, nothing special about it, just search and read how to create emunand from hekate.

That way if you keep your sysNAND clean and use emuNAND with blank prodinfo for cfw and other stuff, you'll be fine and 99.9% won't get banned.

Here is a guide you can follow. Also the best way to update games on emuMMC is to install .NSP files.

Just a quick note, if you dont install any homebrew nsps or go online in via nsp or xci installed games and don't enable things like prodblanking on the sysnand, you can use CFW on sysnand and still go online without any noteworthy ban risk, since its build to be used while going online by the devs.
This could be usefull for faster switching between sys and emunand with overlays like fastCFWswitch, using higher clocks to get more stable framerates and streaming games you play online like splatoon 2 on discord, twitch or other platforms.
Sysnand cfw can also be more comfortable, since it will remove the need for reinjecting/shutting down the switch when changing from one nand to the other, making things like autorcm also more comfortable.

Besides that, if your emunand never connects to nintendos servers, either because you keep it offline or because you block nintendos servers, it should be save, since that way nintendo doesn't know about its existence. But if you just block the connections be carefull after firmware updates, and check here if some server connection got added that arent blocked yet.

About updating the games, with sysnand cfw you can download and dump the updates for the games you own yourself and install them on the emunand, for everything else you will probably need to find update nsps online.

There is no need to fiddle in the dns settings. Atmosphere blocks already nintendos server. But this requires a config in sd:/atmosphere/hosts/.

Yep, I was actually thinking about that and not any dns settings, but the hosts file still need to be updated, if nintendo adds a new server thats not yet included ^^
