Hacking Question Should I keep sysNAND on 1.0.0 and update EmuNAND to 6.1.0?

[radrom]

Really I'd just like to bounce this off of anyone willing to listen. I've had this 1.0.0 Switch around since the March '17 release and I'm finding myself forgetting I even have it with all the great things that are now possible on updated Switches. My questions:

1. What more can be possible with a 1.0.0 that we don't already have on updated Switches?
2. Is it just a matter of following the instructions for SX EmuNAND, or is there anything special to consider with a Switch with that old of a firmware?

I'm not concerned with banning, and I'm only going up to 6.1.0.

Thoughts?

Hell yea. Never update 1.0.0 unit the official way.

I guess that brings up another question. If I'm ever, I dunno... "done" with EmuNAND on that unit, I can always just delete the EmuNAND portion and it'll be just as useless and relatively untouched like it was before, right? I'm a fan of Undo Buttons.

Yup. Just delete the files from SD or maybe the SX payload has a delete option.

It does

Rad, thank you. That's question 3 out of the way. Anyone wanna take on 1 & 2?

If you don't want to update your gamecard firmware, never insert a game card while running your 6.1 emuNAND.

Otherwise, you won't be able to use your gamecard slot anymore when you go back to 1.0.0 sysnand.

Here's a recent scenario where this happened:

1. oldest FW has the most exploits. 1.0.0 is the most likely FW to get coldboot.
2. Just follow their website.

You are all kings. Or queens, I don't know you. Point is, thank you all so much for the input this is exactly what I was hoping for! If anyone else has any further thoughts, I'll still be watching this thread.
