Hi, I've been recently thinking about deleting CFW on my Nintendo switch, but I'm not sure about it, so I hope someone can answer this for me:

If I delete CFW, can I go back online as before?

Is my saved data being deleted?

And could this risk my console to brick?

Thanks, and again, would appreciate it if someone could answer these questions. ^_^

Yes

Cfw if emunand it's separate from sysnand so deleting emunand yes saves only in emunand will be gone

Nope as it's all ran from SD card

If your CFW is on your SDCARD (it should be), you don't have to delete anything. Just boot normally, without a payload. The option to use CFW should always be there, but it won't get in the way of using your Nintendo Switch the way the company intended.

This advice assumes that you use emuNAND and use a jig/payload to boot (which is standard). If you can provide more information we can tailor the message.

If you enabled use of autoRCM, that would be the only thing you'd need to change back.

You will be unable to use savedata created in CFW (emuNAND/emuMMC) with legit (sysNAND/MMC). They are seperate systems using seperate game files. You really shouldn't delete anything.

    VR is awesome and I love it.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    The visual part, that is.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    The controls are still ass.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    But as far as immersion goes, it's great. It's like you have the entire game environment in a bucket, and then you put that bucket on your head.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    And it's great, provided you don't try to get up and walk around.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Because you have a bucket on your head.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    I'm not sure how far I can push this metaphor.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    The bucket also comes in handy when VR gives you motion sickness.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Anyway. VR is neat.

    The immersion part is the only thing I like about vr that's why I returned Nreals too much open space made them off putting cool concept for sunglasses kind of expected it but wanted to try them at least
