Not true, only if you boot the switch normally (Not through hekate) will it update the cart slot firmware.

I've been thinking about updating to play Okami.
Its priced at 19.99. Which reminds me of the PS3 version. Yay!

You're right about it requiring less skill, but it's also something you have to do over and over again along with carrying around a dongle. Eventually you'll damage your Switch. The reed switch is a much better option, but if you can install the reed switch, chances are you can install the trinket. I'm not surprised about the paperclip thing. Idk how anybody though that jamming a paperclip in there would be a good idea.
Nintendo wanted to save some bucks on licensing, so they made it a necessary download (which can be done on the actual firmware from 1.0.0 on, when it was the current one).
However there is a tutorial to install it on 2.0.0+ (for now) unofficially.

Thank you for clearing that up. Never tried it myself, since it seems easy to mess up in the long run.
Yeah no problem. The thing is what i was thinking is if one of your friends turns on your switch normally your screwed. (Or if you just forget.)

I recommend you stay on Firmware 1.0.0, as such Switch are very rare and valuable these days. You could sell it for high price to a Switch homebrew developer.
You can just leave the console in sleep mode instead of inserting the jig and plugging in the USB cable. Only stipulation from that point is making sure it never runs out of power and if it does, you have to use the jig and USB cable again. Reed switch I would also argue is the best modification to boot RCM with the least risk of damaging the system.
Sure, but what if you wanna play online or something? You have to get out of cfw.
If you can install a reed switch you can install a trinket m0.
I'd argue you shouldn't be using a hacked console online, but some people want to have their cake and eat it too.
Right, that's why you boot into ofw to go online. Then you're not going online with a hacked console.
Well people have been banned for booting into OFW so Nintendo still has reason to believe they hacked their console. What exactly they think was hacked is left to our imaginations.
Is there any confirmation that entering RCM registers a log? Or is it pure speculation?
Latter. Its possible a future firmware update may may make this more obvious but until then, its just another one of those things that end up in the black box known as the Nintendo Switch.
Ok this is the first time hearing about this
Can you explain further on how it upgrades the cartridge slot?Thanks

It depends on how many fuses you have burnt. If you have the number of fuses burnt for 4.0.1 for example (which is 5), you can only boot firmwares 4.0-4.1 without RCM. If you want to boot any other firmware (higher or lower) you must boot into RCM first so you can use a bootloader (SX OS or Hekate) that bypasses the fuse check. For higher firmwares, alternative bootloaders also need to prevent fuses from being burnt which both Hekate and SX OS support. Firmwares 4.0 and above have no problem running cartridges, but if your firmware was below 4.0 and you use his guide to update it, then when you return to any firmware below 4.0 your cartridges will not work.

i accidentally upgrade my cartridge slot going from 3.0.0 to 5.1.0, thinking of buying a replacement on ebay but since i don't use cartridges on this switch anyway i'm just hoping whatever softmod there is for 3.0.0 won't need a cartridge so i can just be on newest firmware on emunand
