Hacking Question Is it necessary?

[Kamil1984]

Im gonna hack my switch. Its on 10.2 version. I dont want to update system. On official guide they wrote:

Before setting up the console for homebrew, it is important to have at least one eShop game ( application , or a game demo Running homebrew through any game cartridge will also work, but it must be inserted. Running homebrew does not permanently replace or remove the game/application, nor does it become tied to only one game/application (any cartridge you have inserted or any game/application installed can always be used). Once you have any game or application, you are prepared to continue on with the guide.

is it necessary? How to do that without update?

There is a difference between important and necessary. You cannot obtain an eShop title however without updating. And as the guide states, an alternative is to use a cartridge.
