Question regarding exosphere.ini

[DevilzCY]

Hi guys,

So I finally decided to migrate to ATM from SXOS, I follow the guide here: https://rentry.co/mys8q
At the step where I need to create the file exosphere.ini in the root of your SD card, they have 2 options for Emunand and Sysnand
(this step is needed in order to blank your prodinfo so that you avoid getting your switch banned)

Does that mean that it will erase my switch info permanently?

I'm planning to play backup game in Emunand, play online game on sysnand, and occasionally do some homebrew thingy on Sysnand. Should I create 2 exosphere.ini, 1 for sysnand, and 1 for emunand and swap them in and out?

I'm very new in this ATM scene, has done some research before decided to do the migrate.

Afaik, you can restore it if you keep your switch info stored somewhere else.
If you somehow loose that info, then there is no way to restore it as that info is unique for your Switch.

Exosphere.ini open it up and 0 is off 1 is on. You only need one exosphere for both as sysnand and emummc can be set on or off. Open exopshere.ini, scroll to bottom set 0 or 1.

Exosphere doesnt work like incognito and dont need a backup.

Example of it being on for sys and emummc:

[exosphere]
debugmode=1
debugmode_user=0
disable_user_exception_handlers=0
enable_user_pmu_access=0
blank_prodinfo_sysmmc=1
blank_prodinfo_emummc=1
allow_writing_to_cal_sysmmc=1
log_port=0
log_baud_rate=115200
log_inverted=0

Thats what I thought and thank you so much for clarification. Super thumb up

I might be late to this but, the effect of exosphere in prodinfo isn't permanent right? i mean I can just turn it on or off because I'm not the one who modded my switch so I don't have a backup of the prodinfo.

0 is off
1 is on

Not permanent.

When it's on on sysnand, does it has any negative effect if I wanna play legit game online and transferring save data to other switch?
