Hi, I'm a complete noob when it comes to Switch hacking.
So basically I'd like to mod my Switch which is an old model, but definitely patched (I did the check with RCM mode), I'm on the latest firmware 10.1.0 and I plan on buying the SX Core to mod it.
My purpose is to overclock the console (I use it essentially docked all the time) and play online with my purchased games and nothing else other than fiddling around with homebrews.
Secretly, I'm a modder at heart and every console I own has some kind of modifications on it so I'd like the Switch to have it too.

First thin first, is the SX Core compatible with my Switch model and firmware version?
Are there any purposes I'm missing I could do with a modded Switch?
Are there any collateral effects of modding my Switch?
Is there a way to get "invisible" while using emunand?
Is there something else I need to know?
Any recommendation on guides and procedures?

Kind regards.

If you're on 10.1.0 and definitely patched on old Switch, then your only option is the SX Core modchip. If you want to play your legit games online, you'd want to create an emuMMC (emuNAND) and do all your homebrew activity there. The sysNAND will be kept clean for online play and legit games only. Still no guarantees that you'll never be banned this way, but it's the safest option.

    @SylverReZ, atleast wiimmfii went fine although people only use it for Mario kart Wii
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    At least if they ban you for cheating, get another Wii. They're cheap as chips.

    Remember when RiiShop was a thing?
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    not really
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    It got shutdown because somebody "accidentally" leaked the database for the amount of people using the beta.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    RiiShop is the laziest way of downloading Wii games. Did somebody not think of this through?
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    although i ended up accidentally changing my nand with no way of going back bc i didn't know you needed a gamecube controller to restore it (i have a wii minus/1.1, which doesn't have gamecube controller support)
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @BakerMan, I think you're talking about the recovery mode that the SaveMii used, and also was to restore softbricked systems.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    If your NAND was hardbricked, then just buy another Wii. Or go with the dirty NAND flasher method.
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    and if i find the sd card i have my NAND backed up on, i can not only restore the NAND if i solder the right part in, but i can also put my NAND on dolphin, then i can play dolphin online, like PMEX Remix or MKWii Riibalanced
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    Brb
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @BakerMan, Oh yeah, that was a thing too. Dolphin does support Wiimmfi.
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    yeah you just need to put your NAND backup with wiimmfi on it
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    ngl i feel like if a bunch of my friends have wiis and know how to get wiimmfi and back up their NAND, then we could do a PMEX Remix tournament
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    maybe even add UMVC3/DBFZ and make it a biathlon/triathlon
