Good evening everyone! As the title say, I haven't used my switch in quite some time, and I figured I might as well update it at least a little. I've been doing tons of reading the last couple of days as as per usual, couldn't find a case enough like mine that I felt comfortable just going for it. Here is where I am sitting ATM.
-SXOS 2.8
-OFW 8.0.0
-I'm 99% sure I don't have an emunand set up (only folders on my card are Switch, Firmware, and Nintendo)
-at some point long ago I updated to 8.0.0 using ChoiDujour ( I mention this because something I read said that updating with it corrupts something maybe with creating an emunand?)
-I don't think I have problem staying with SXOS even though it only works up to 11.0.0 since I basically just play older games (BOTW, Skyrim ect) or are the newer games worth updating for? I don't even know what's out there these days.
And here is what I'm hoping for advice on
-should I go ahead and setup an emunand? To the best of my knowledge, it's never been booted into the OFW if that matters? (just watched a quick vid to remind myself what emunand is and if I understood it correctly, it's way to late to worry about setting that up. Correct me if I'm wrong)
-should I just "upgrade" to atmoshpere and call it a day? Other than being able to use the latest OFW, is there anything else?
* found where the choidujour corrupts stuff. It's in the switch from sxos to atmosphere on rentry-----If you updated via ChoiDujourNX on your sysNAND then you have to either get a donor boot0/boot1 or use a backup of your sysNAND boot0/boot1 and then restore it via NxNandManager, hekate, or sxos bootmenu. This is because ChoiDuJourNX corrupts your boot0/boot1 and will prevent you from being able to boot into sysNAND on Atmosphere.---- So that sucks. I looked at how to make new boot0/boot1 and not to sound like a retard, but after reading though it, I'm probably too retarded to do it...
I'm sure this reads like an idiot wrote it. There just seems like it's a little more complicated than the original "hacking" of the switch.
Sooo.... where do I go from here? with no emunand, presumably no backup of my sysnand that I'm sure I did way back in the day but it's on an old computer somewhere, a corrupted boot0 from updating stupidly, and probably several other things I can't even think of at the moment... Only positive that I can think of that I have going for me is that I ran across a copy of the sxos 3.1.0 in my google drive so I don't have to try and find that.
For anyone that put forth the effort to power though this dumb series of questions, Thanks
