If you want to burn fuses just disable autoRCM in Choi. When you update with it, also select the exFAT option and you're good to go. It is not a per card thing.
Format the SD card to FAT32. FAT32 is objectively better than exFAT anyways. The only reason for exFAT is that you cannot restore a split NAND so you need exFAT to restore the rawnand. FAT32 has ways of bypassing the 4GB limit on all other types of files as well as not risking any corruption unlike exFAT.
Kosmos updater is an updater for Kosmos. Besides, SX OS has their own updater.
For starters, have you ever been able to successfully install any .XCI files? If not, then it may be an issue with your SD card. Testing if its fake can save you a lot of pain and headache down the road as there are really no other explanations for it to be unable to be installed. If you want to rule out its not the SD card, you can try another .XCI installer such as zerotwoxci or converting the .XCI files to .NSP format with 4NXCI or xci2nsp.
It'll depend on the file you are transferring. For .XCI files, they can only be split. But for .NSP files, they can be split or installed via USB/network.
While no one has been banned for modding Skyrim, that doesn't mean you won't be banned for doing so. Proceed with using hacks online with great caution.
There is no evidence to support that Nintendo scans SD card contents. They don't even check the Switch's USER partition which is where all games are installed to, whether .XCI or .NSP.
Keep in mind that its only been 2 years since the Switch came out so not everything about it has been discovered or documented. Not to mention, reasons for people being banned are rarely, if ever, actually discovered. To confound matters more are when people do similar or identical actions but only some are banned not all. Thus it becomes nearly impossible to ever accurately deduce what causes people to get banned in the first place. After collecting ban data for months, I can assure you that bans are mostly random without any leading cause which makes sense since this method ensures the most amount of people get banned. By keeping the factors that get people banned randomized, it makes it impossible to devise a counter-strategy thus reducing as many people who want to hack the console but avoid getting banned.
Ah, THAT makes a lot of sense! I caught snippets of that in these forums but nobody really outright said it. I take it there's no other app that installs XCI files?
Unfortunately, there are no other apps that support installation of .XCI files. You may be stuck converting them to .NSP files at least until ReiNX fully implements .XCI support.
