Hacking Question Just for clarification

[trashfloozy]

honestly i don't even know if im in the right thread, but...
1) I know the Switch uses USB-C, but if i buy a cord to connect to the PC should i be looking for anything specific or will any general retail cord due?

2) Is there anything specific i need to know about backup loading? I saw on some subreddit that you can install and play on the OFW but, looking at these threads, ONLY SX OS can actually play backup&installed titles? Has this changed?

1. If you buy too cheap of an usb c cable it might only do charging. So get a half way decent one
2. There are free cfw out that allow you to play backups. Sxos had cartridge emulation exclusivity as well as emunand for the time being. However free emunand is around the corner

Only use USB-C cables with a 56kΩ resistor with the Switch.
