Hacking POLL: Best CFW Feature

i heard that overclocking is bad for the console, is it true ?

Just don't always use it and don't use it for too long

Emulation! I always wanted a portable N64, I never owned a PSP and there are so many good games for the SNES, GBA and NDS that I keep going back to! I've clocked more hours on the Switch as a multi-system emulator than on actual Switch games, and that's counting the timesinks that are Breath of the Wild and Xenoblade Chronicles (gotta rebuild Colony 6!). I just wish there were something like LaunchBox to organize and display all my ROMs (I know RetroArch can do something similar, but RetroArch is crap and I much prefer to use separate emulators for each system).

I like Overclocking for juicer framerates and Downclocking for saving battery.
Patching Games with 60 FPS patches often comes with the need for overclocking. So some game modding is also on my list.

I've recently dived into theming. I know it from 3DS and I think, that 75% of the themes online available are garbage (because of bad contrasts, absolutely no "soul", or simply low effort). I'm also not an early adopter of new features and with the spend patience, some beautiful themes are available now. It looks so clean an beautiful now

Emulators and a few Homebrew Games are also great. One of my dreams would be some very cool homebrew game that just uses the Switch's capabilities like the techdemos show. The feeling to have the opportunity to do this stuff on my own, if I could inspire myself with an idea is also great.

Yeah… and sigpatches of course. Because of comfort.

It definitely has the potential to damage your console. If you're not careful with the upper limits, the console can get quite hot. And over a longer period of time, it will reduce the battery life.
