You will need CFW like Atmosphere for custom wallpapers. You will need to use the RCM exploit for that. If you use custom wallpaper (or any homebrew) on your Switch without using an emuNAND, yes, you can get banned.What do I need to do to get custom wallpapers?
I have a launch day Switch on 8.1
Also can I get banned for just having a custom wallpaper?
How do I get an emuNAND?You will need CFW like Atmosphere for custom wallpapers. You will need to use the RCM exploit for that. If you use custom wallpaper (or any homebrew) on your Switch without using an emuNAND, yes, you can get banned.
You will partition your SD card and copy your sysNAND to that partition. You will then use all of your hacks with an offline emuNAND while keeping your sysNAND clean and able to use online without being banned.How do I get an emuNAND?
Yeah doesn't really sound worth it.You will partition your SD card and copy your sysNAND to that partition. You will then use all of your hacks with an offline emuNAND while keeping your sysNAND clean and able to use online without being banned.
This also means your custom wallpaper will only work on your emuNAND. If that's all you want, it might not be worth the trouble.
As long as you keep the partition with CFW/homebrew offline, you do not have to restore a clean NAND dump before going online.I'm just getting back into the switch scene after dipping out in March/April, so I have a question about Atmos Emunand.
With EmuMMC being compartmentalized in a hidden partition, is it still necessary to have to restore a NAND backup every time I want to go online on Sysnand or are we finally past that?
Sorry if this has been asked, I was drawing a blank on the search.
First, make sure you have a clean NAND backup somewhere in case you decide someday you want to use online play.Noob question I am running FW 5.1.0 and I want to update. I have no plans to go online at any point. Should I just turn my wi-fi on update the normal way or its better to use ChoiDujourNX?
If you're paranoid, you can still install Incognito and/or 90DNS.I am sure I will never go online with this unit. The console has been used only in flight mode so far.
There is no reason not to update your emuNAND to 8.1.0. Newer games will require 8.1.0 eventually (if they don't already).What's the best firmware for my Switch emunand, 8.1.0 or something older?
If it's a dirty NAND (i.e. you've used hacks with it), you might get banned if you connect it to the internet. If you install 90DNS and/or Incognito, you can't get banned, but you also can't update through the system settings.Is there any risk if I update online?

You can use ChoiDujourNX to update to 8.1.0.All right, now I just need to figure out how to update it.
I asked cause back in the 3DS hacking era sometimes it wasn't advised to update to the latest firmware because certain tools weren't supported.
