Hacking Is AutoRCM still useful?

[Draxzelex]

good to know. So what happens if it dies in sleep mode? Restart to rcm or just dead a recharge as usual?

You just recharge it like usual. But you shouldn't be letting the console die with or without AutoRCM because its bad for the battery.

Yeah they fixed that a long time ago

How long ago? Because I've been using AutoRCM since 2020 and I have Aluminum foil stuck in the right side of my switch so I'm not sure if I can even use Hekate anymore. What I'm saying is that I put my switch in AutoRCM with a likely outdated version of Hekate.

According to the Atmosphere changelog, it was added back in Atmosphere version 0.8.4 which was released on February 2019. So its been fixed for 2 years now. Its also an issue with CFW not a bootloader like Hekate so if you really do have the issue, then its because you haven't updated Atmosphere and not Hekate.

Hi, I'm a noob here;
just asking... which are the risks of using autoRCM? I mean, are there conditions/scenarios that could cause a brick?

You have a 100% chance of bricking using AutoRCM

I think a brick is rather unlikely. But the battery can be deeply discharged. And that's not so healthy in the long run.

And usually nothing bricks haha. I never encounter brick one myself and can unbrick the switches I own.

AutoRCM bricks your switch so it always enters RCM..

And it's needed if you don't have a jig all the time.

The way AutoRCM automatically boots your console into RCM is by bricking it in such a way that it boots into RCM. Therefore people use this to go into RCM without a jig which makes it useful on top of being reversible.
