Hi!
I am about to hack my Switch and was wondering if I should go the Emunand way or not. I don’t intend to play online. Plus, I see some people say that you should install Emunand so you can have the latest firmware, yet you don’t burn the fuses since you don’t upgrade the SysNAND. But I don’t plan to downgrade my Switch, or at least I don’t really see why I should...
So I am asking you: Emunand or should I stay with SysNAND directly? Thank you!
I'm in the same boat as you, I have Emunand enabled although I'll never play a game online and I don't care about burning fuses, getting banned. I only enabled my Emunand after I read a tutorial posted on here (it was a post about how to upgrade your fw) by another user months ago lol.
I still have days where I ask myself is it worth having it / should I disable it. The only con I can think of (and this is based off of my own personal reasons) about having Emunand enabled is that it does take up some space on your micro sd card. But this can be overcome with the new Emunand features or by buying a larger micro sd card or taking advantage of a usb stick or an external hdd.
Here's a situation that happened to me last week, it may help you decide to enable Emunand.
Last week my main (200 gig) micro sd card crashed but because I had Emunand enabled, my SysNand firmware went back to 5.2.
Luckily for me I still had my old (128 gig) micro sd card that I was using before my 200 gig one crashed, so I bought a new (bigger) micro sd card, copy and pasted the files from my old 128 gig micro sd card onto my new one and popped it in my switch.
Because I had Emunand enabled on my old 128 gig micro sd card, my switch firmware settings on my new micro sd card were now at 5.9.
To get my switch up to date with my newest micro sd card, all I had to do was re-download a few apps (checkpoint, choixdujour) and now my switch is back on 6.2 and I'm back in business.
The only shitty downside to all of this was searching for all the nsps to update my games so they can work on 6.2 lol.
At this point, I don't think I'll disable my Emunand, mainly as I don't want to deal with the hassle of having to re-update my switch's firmware then having to re-download all of the nsp's to update my games so they can work on 6.2
