So I am just getting into this and have read dozens of threads and guides but a few questions remain.
I just bot a used (but like new) Switch from an ebay dealer which is unpatched and on firmware 3.0.1.
I am planing to put emuMMC on it for Homebrew, Emulators etc and OFW (Sysnand) for online playing. I am aware of the danger of getting banned and am willing to risk it, worst case I will get a second Switch for online playing my bought games.
My questions:
1. I am wondering why my Switch is on 3.0.1 and am thinking, either it wasn't used and is actually like or someone ran CFW from it and if this is the case the Sysnand might be dirty. Is there any way I can find out if this is the case and clean it if it is so? If not and there is a problem, I can also return the Switch.
2. I want to follow these guides:
nh-server github io switch-guide
switch homebrew guide
And I am thinking, I should first update my Switch to 9.0.1 since I will be using the hardware exploit anyway. Is this the first thing I should do and should I just do it through the system update or use choidujournx in order to save efuses?
3. The first guide states on this page nh-server github io switch-guide user_guide getting_started
As I understand this is not the case anymore?
That's it for now, any help is greatly appreciated!

Console Preparation
Important
Before setting up the console for homebrew, it is important to have at least one eShop game, or a game demo. A game cartridge will also work, but note that the cartridge will have to be inserted in order to run homebrew if you wish to go this route. Once you have a game or application, you are prepared to continue on with the guide."
