Hacking Hardware Homebrew Misc Should I mod my V1 Switch now or after Nintendo discontinues it?

[Kyokoneko]

I got my mom to buy me an unpatched V1 Switch for my birthday because I wanted to play my Switch library on my TV, since my Switch Lite could not do so, and so I can get a modded Switch without soldering a modchip into my Lite.

I've been thinking of performing a jailbreak on the console after Nintendo fully discontinues the Switch, but I wanted to ask you all if it is safe to do so as of right now.

My family isn't paying for NSO anymore, and I usually only play offline singleplayer games, but I'm still worried about getting banned from the eShop, as I spent lots of money on there that I don't want to go to waste.

Also, my main reasons for wanting a modded Switch are Android, Overclocking, and Game Mods.

With that, I wanted to ask the question: Should I mod my Switch now or later?

No reason not to now if you do it right. Follow the guides to set up an emummc on your SD card, and only use that for CFW, while keeping it blocked from Nintendo servers. You can do all the hacking and piracy you want on emummc, while keeping real emmc squeaky clean and safe for official online use if and when you want it. All the details are in the hacking guides.

Well... you can run FakeNews IIRC and negate the need for a dongle... no big deal. AutoRCM and i almost never need my dongle.

so, as long as you don't use eshop, or nso, you're basically fine. if you're really paranoid, you can use 90dns or smth and block nintendo's servers. if you do that, you're fine.
