Hacking OG nintendo switch.. whats the best way to CFW/play backups?

[aofelix]

Hi, I have an OG switch. What do I need to buy and do to start playing backups? preferably on latest firmware for bluetooth audio support? is it safe to still play online once hacked or not?

You need a custom firmware like atmosphere and tools like dbi. Create an emuMMC, put atmosphere and dbi on your card, start dbi and install your games from your gamecards. That's it.

preferably on latest firmware for bluetooth audio support?

Atmosphere doesn't support the latest firmware atm. Just wait for it.

is it safe to still play online once hacked or not?

As long as you use an emuMMC, you are safe.

The jig (or a paperclip) is required to trigger the rcm when a button combination is held.

Jig at least the first time. They are pretty cheap but worth it.

So I need to buy the jig first and following the guides? Sorry I just bought an unpatched switch also and not sure what to do first.

You need a jig or something conductive to enter RCM and either a dongle or USB cable to send a payload while in RCM but it is not safe to play online once it is hacked.
