Hacking Maybe a basic question but ... When I am in Hekate, I have to execute CFW (sysnand) or Emunand ?

Hi,
everything is in the title

When I am in Hekaten I have to execute "CFW (sysnand)" or "CFW (Emunand)" on my Switch 4.1.0 recently excuted with Caffeine ?

I didn't find the answer in the "official guide" here : https://switch.homebrew.guide/usingcfw/hekate

Atmosphere is currently the CFW with the largest feature set. It enables game modding, homebrew, backup installs, and more. To launch Atmosphere:

1. Enter Hekate through RCM or with PegaScape.
2. Tap ‘Launch > CFW’

Hekate will now boot Atmosphere.

Thank you

If you cloned your sysnand to a file or partition on the micrsd card you can use emunand. If you didn’t you can only use cfw in sysnand. Hopefully you made your backup before.

Thank you PhiLiPZ,

argh, I am so noob, sorry but I am not sure of the answer;
I followed this step by step : https://switch.homebrew.guide/hacking/caffeine/forewarning

I backed up the boot, etc.. based on those steps : https://switch.homebrew.guide/usingcfw/hekate#step-1-backing-up-your-nand-and-bis-keys
But I dont think I cloned my sysnand to a file on my SDCard to use it as a file reference.

What is the best option ?
To clone the sysnand to a file/partition and run CFW (Emunand) or to choose CFW (Sysnand) ?

Thank you

Unless you want to go online emunand is not needed. Since I don’t I haven’t searched for a good tutorial for emunand.

It’s very good you made a backup first.

If you want to play the latest games you will need emunand as you shouldn't update your sysnand baised on that you used caffeine I guess your on a patched system so going past 4.1 means no hacks.
Don't connect it online too or you will get supper nag where you can't play anything and it disables the web interface (caffeine entry point)

Thank you.

So, how can I play to a game that is only playable « online » (like Tetris99).
As the « dump » of the game is available, I suppose it means I can play to it even if it’s an « online only » game, no ?
