Apologies if this has been answered before as i am absolutely new to switch modding. While installing NSPs over tinfoil i realized that we could install them over network also? but how do we do that as i am obviously not connected to internet and running on 4.1.0 with reinx. so could someone please put some light on how to connect to the local network without connecting to say nintendo and getting banned? Thanks.

You can block the access to the nintendo servers which should put you safe from any updates, logs/crash reports sending and other stuff. https://gbatemp.net/threads/90dns-dns-server-for-blocking-all-nintendo-servers.516234/
You can also set up a router on your local network and don't connect it to your LAN, so just set up wireless and connect your laptop to the router. This means it's connected to the LAN and not the WAN which is also safe.

It does? Wow that's pretty sweet
I remember a thread showing which switches were still exploitable based on serial number but now I cant find it.
Is there still a way to tell?

Just out of curiosity, the 'patched' Switches out in the wild. How much of a pain in the arse would hacking them be? If there's even a method to do so at the current time that is. It's all well and good having hacked my current Switch to see how easy it is to make backups but if my current system ever dies/gets lost it's all pointless if I can't hack a newly bought new system to restore my backed up saves. I might not always have NSO to use cloud saves so relying on that alone is not very convenient.
There are millions of switches that are hackable. There is not much known about the new switches yet and they are not hackable at the moment, and that will probably stay for a while (atleast not public) so nintendo can't patch it as quick. But believe me, they will be hackable and you will not have to wait as long as you think.
Hey i was wondering if anyone could help me with the ChoiDujourNX Update method

Try formatting your SD card or using another SD card.
The 3 currently available CFW are SX OS, ReiNX, and Atmosphere however some of the features of SX OS are behind a paywall.
Atmosphere: https://www.sdsetup.com/
ReiNX: https://reinx.guide/
SX OS: https://sx.xecuter.com/
Do you definitely have the correct update? A couple of early versions of 6.0 were leaked before the official one. You want to install 6.0-5.0 (NintendoSDK Firmware for NX 6.0.0-5.0).
The early ones you don't want are 6.0.0 and 6.0.0-4.0.
First off, I wanted to thank Draxzelex as he has been an amazing resource, and very supportive to everyone who asks a question.
I have a brand new unit which I have only booted into Maintenance mode to view the firmware version, and used hekate to backup my NAND. If I want to load a CFW, do I need to go through the trouble of doing a regular boot up in OFW and doing the complete setup? Or can I completely bypass the OFW and just load CFW?

TwoSpikedHands:
yall im torn... ive been hacking away at tales of phantasia GBA (the USA version) and have so many documents of reverse engineering i've done -
@
TwoSpikedHands:
I just found out that the EU version is better in literally every way, better sound quality, better lighting, and there's even a patch someone made to make the text look nicer
-
@
TwoSpikedHands:
Do I restart now using what i've learned on the EU version since it's a better overall experience? or do I continue with the US version since that is what ive been using, and if someone decides to play my hack, it would most likely be that version?

@
Sicklyboy:
@TwoSpikedHands, I'll preface this with the fact that I know nothing about the game, but, I think it depends on what your goals are. Are you trying to make a definitive version of the game? You may want to refocus your efforts on the EU version then. Or, are you trying to make a better US version? In which case, the only way to make a better US version is to keep on plugging away at that one
-
@
Sicklyboy:
I'm not familiar with the technicalities of the differences between the two versions, but I'm wondering if at least some of those differences are things that you could port over to the US version in your patch without having to include copyrighted assets from the EU version
-
@
TwoSpikedHands:
@Sicklyboy I am wanting to fully change the game and bend it to my will lol. I would like to eventually have the ability to add more characters, enemies, even have a completely different story if i wanted. I already have the ability to change the tilemaps in the US version, so I can basically make my own map and warp to it in game - so I'm pretty far into it!
-
@
TwoSpikedHands:
I really would like to make a hack that I would enjoy playing, and maybe other people would too. swapping to the EU version would also mean my US friends could not legally play it
-
@
TwoSpikedHands:
I am definitely considering porting over some of the EU features without using the actual ROM itself, tbh that would probably be the best way to go about it... but i'm sad that the voice acting is so.... not good on the US version. May not be a way around that though

@
The Real Jdbye:
@TwoSpikedHands just switch, all the knowledge you learned still applies and most of the code and assets should be the same anyway -
@
The Real Jdbye:
and realistically they wouldn't
be able to play it legally anyway since they need a ROM and they probably don't have the means to dump it themselves -

do y'all think having an sd card that has a write speed of 700kb/s is a bad idea?
trying to restore emunand rn but it's taking ages... (also when I finished the first time hekate decided to delete all my fucking files
) -

@The Real Jdbye it hasn't given me any error trying to write things on it so I don't really think it's faulty (pasted 40/50gb+ folders and no write errors)
