1) So is there currently NO way if i get the newest switch to run a CFW on it for some rom hacking mods?
2) The RCM loader works with newest firmware but only with some serial number versions and not with the new hardware revision?
3) mind blown


---

ok just could get a Switch with FW 9.0.1 and the serial number like that: XAJ40017955xxx

According to the serial checker sites it is "safe". Does that mean i could do anything with it regarding CFW?

 

No because the traces of the .NSP will remain even if you don't go online while running it. To not get banned just don't hack. Majority of bans are due to using CFW & homebrew.

Its more important that the console is unpatched rather than what firmware it is running because unpatched consoles can be hacked irrespective of firmware.

Untitled Goose Game seems like it requires firmware 9.X

1. Correct
2. The exploit used by the RCM Loader has nothing to do with firmware. It only works with consoles that have an exploitable hardware namely unpatched units
3. As long as the console is unpatched, it can be hacked regardless of its firmware and the exploit cannot be patched out unless you send it back to Nintendo for whatever reason

Actually you have to do both. Updating the firmware does not update the CFW and in order to update the CFW, you need the latest CFW on your SD card. If you do not already have the latest CFW files on your SD card, my best practice is to delete everything except the Nintendo folder and the switch folder then place the new CFW files on the card. To update your firmware is as easy as running the homebrew application ChoiDujourNX (along with downloading the firmware files elsewhere).

 

Thank you very much. My console which i am about to buy tomorrow is unpatched, so i am good to go.

 

AutoRCM does not affect system updates however system updates can affect AutoRCM. If you update normally, AutoRCM will be removed. If you update while in CFW or with ChoiDujour/ChoiDujourNX, AutoRCM will remain.

 

Yes

 

I fail to see any advantage of autorcm when sleep mode exists.

 

Ok, but how can I ensure I don't end up with a clean boot, blowing my fuses, after switching from ReinX to Atmosphere?

 

I made the switch to Atmosphere and seem to still have AutoRCM active. I'm still not sure where the setting is stored.

How does sleep mode render AutoRCM obsolete, @mc-kiler? I rarely update and have missed something if additional safety mechanisms are in Atmosphere which prevent fuses from burning without the benefit of AutoRCM preventing clean boots.

 

Oh, thank you very much. It was my understanding that in order to use deja vu, at 3.0.1, I had to fiddle with the pins. if that's not the case then I'll probably attempt to do it this weekend.

 

What about running XCI with SX OS?
