Hacking Should i update my 2.3.0 switch?

[bento27]

i recently bought a new switch and it is on fw 2.3.0, because i´m new to homebrew should i update to 6.2.0 using choidujournx(using this method do i perform nand backup on 2.3.0 our 6.2.0?), or should i stay on lower fw and use Pegaswitch to install homebrew? whit pegaswitch will i be able to play newest games? will i get banned using pegaswitch?

Yea, pegaswitch is useless nowadays. Do a 2.3.0 backup and update via choidujourNX without burning fuses (keep autoRCM enabled). This way you can get 6.2.0 while keeping fuse count low so you can later downgrade once something interesting is released for 2.3.0 (may never happen).

update...there are so many games that you'd miss out on by staying on low firmware. Of course, by updating with choidujournx, you'll be able to go back to lower firmware (for whatever reason...). I know people have mentioned "cold boot could be coming", but who knows when/if that will happen. When using homebrew, might as well accept the fact that you are at risk of a ban....so if online multiplayer is what you are after, just get another Switch to play legit (new Switch systems cannot be hacked...yet...)

i guess update is the way then, if i update using choidujournx and do not turn on autorcm (burning fuses of course) will it be like a normal "official" nintendo fw update (only asking in therms of hardware warranty)?

Hardware warranty is probably void if you hack your Switch. I wouldn't worry about it too much. If it works, it should last a good couple years with normal use.

No different. And you don't have a choice as far as I know, as an official Nintendo update via their cdn will take you to 7.0, which you don't want atm.

sorry for all this questions but i just want to be sure, i read right know that its possible to perform a emunad on the sd card, that way i will keep one original FW (not to, but if i want to play online by just removing de sdcard, etc), and on a emunand use airplane mode and CFW for all the other stuff. will that work?
