Thank you, sorry last question, would it still work on CFW I don't have to be using emunand to downgrade correct?
you never need EmuNAND, but is always adviced to have the SYSNAND on a clean state, never install non sanct sofware on sysnand, and the EmuNAND also maintain your SysNAND clean and lower the wear of the chip.

So always have a EmuNAND and work on it. but is you like use only SysNAND on practice is the same.

sorry but I didn't quite understand, wouldn't downgrading make the system panic for having an extra fuse burned, asuming he's not using Emunand

If your boot on to OFW (normal big ninty sofware) that software will check burnt fuses, and if the version of current HOS is lower than burnt fuses count you will have a panic.

If you boot CFW (Atmosphère) the burnt fuses count is ignored and any HOS version is loaded without trouble.

You can have ANY firmware version on SysNAND or EmuNAND, even you can have various EmuNANDs with different versions of firmware on it. as far I know you can have 3 raw partitions EmuNAND on your console and several File based EmuNANDs, and with bootloaders like Hekate you can boot or switch between them.

By example some people still use a CFW for piracy and have a EmuNAND for it and have a EmuNAND for the best CFW Ever: Atmosphère, and kept their SysNAND on original FW. so you can setup Hekate to boot any of them and Atmosphère take cares of avoid burnt fuses or panic because burnt fuses count.

Cool did not know this! I just use cheats on animal crossing and pokemon on CFW sys and even on there i keep all the ninty servers blocked. i just found out that if i restore a save file on cfw sys it shows up on OFW, but for everything else i go on my EmuNAND.

One other thing is firmware on the cart controller, that you cannot have two and once they are out of sync you cannot use cart in one of them ( I suppose pirates don't care about cart? )
yeap, that is a pain, and can not be avoided by now.

That's the reason why Hekate can block access to GameCart reader, so that never get updated but you loose their use. you only can run software installed on the console, for some of us is not a big deal but for others is a deal breaker, then they can enable access to GC.

A side note the number of burnt fuses is not exactly the same number on the FW version, is more like a range, by example 5 burnt fuses allow to run 4.0.0 to 4.1.0 firmware, but now 4.2.0.

For more information you can see the table at bottom of https://switchbrew.org/wiki/Fuses (

Anti-downgrade​

)

System version Expected number of burnt fuses (retail) Expected number of burnt fuses (non-retail)
1.0.0 1 0
2.0.0-2.3.0 2 0
3.0.0 3 1
3.0.1-3.0.2 4 1
4.0.0-4.1.0 5 1
5.0.0-5.1.0 6 1
6.0.0-6.1.0 7 1
6.2.0 8 1
7.0.0-8.0.1 9 1
8.1.0 10 1
9.0.0-9.0.1 11 1
9.1.0-9.2.0 12 1
10.0.0-10.2.0 13 1
11.0.0-12.0.1 14 1
12.0.2-13.1.0 15 1
13.2.1-14.1.2 16 1
15.0.0-15.0.1 17 1
16.0.0-16.1.0 18 1
17.0.0 19 1

I got a question, my sysnand is on 17.0.0, but my emummc partition is still on 16.1.0, will sigpatches still work on my emummc partition?

you must read before tap, but well, first be sure you are on Atmosphère 1.6.1 prerelease, update Hekate to 6.0.7 and backup and delete sd:/atmosphere/contents folder, because some sysmodules and themes are no compatible with FW17

REINSTALL SIGPATCHES and then start your console and now you can backup your savegames.

The original memory must be updated in an official way, even by burning the efuses, (after verifying that there is a compatible version of atmosphere). From the new original version, emunand is created. Only the emunand that exists virtually on the microsd can be downgraded to the first useful version with the sigpatch available. In this case, from the stock version 17.0.0, emunand 17.17.0 is created. Emunand 17.0.0 is downgraded to 16.1.0 and uses sigpatch 16.1.0

You don't need to update the sysnand in order to update the emunand. And you don't need to burn fuses to update.

You can Run the update process while running Atmosphère using Daybreak (preffered method) or official update method and no fuses get burnt.

You can update the emunand or sysnand at any time without alter the other.

Also please first at all upgrade Atmosphère on you SDCard to version 1.6.1 to avoid problems.

It goes without saying that almost everyone uses the console even in the original with games like fortnite. With this method, it is always possible to use the console even in an official way, as long as you use the serial reset in the modified memory
