Hello, Switch n00b here hoping to advance to the next tier of Knowledge. I got my Switch as a gift Ipatched 4.1.0 so I decided to wait (about six months) until I read about Caffeine and successfully set it up. Clean SysNAND + emuMMC1 for offline (mostly PSP emulation) + emuMMC2 for online.
And... that's honestly about as far as I've gone. I really could use some help in clearing out a few questions, since most guides I can find are for non-Ipatched switches, assume homebrewed sysNAND or otherwise don't seem to deal with the Caffeine case at all.
1.- Can I upgrade emuMMC2 (online) without issues? If so, can I do it by directly connecting it to the internet, or do I need to peform some sort of incremental upgrade? From what I understand there are softwares like.... uh, ChoiDujour? That I'm supposed to *not* use because I'm on Caffeine.
1a.- if I upgraded emuMMC2 from version X to version Y, but later in life I need to restore a NAND backup from version X, can this get me in hot water as I'd have to try and upgrade to version Y (or Y+1) again?
1b.- If for any reason I need to upgrade the emuMMC1 (offline), can I somehow use the upgrades for emuMMC2, or do I need to upgrade via a cart firm upgrade?
2.- I read from the internet I can not go past a specific firm version (I think 9.x) in *any* emuMMC because it changes the cart slot firmware, making it unavailable both for the other emuMMCs *and* sysNAND. Would this essentially brick my other non-upgraded emuMMCs since I would no longer be able to use R-hold game access to launch homebrew?
2.- Any particular cares I should have when using the same physical cart on both emuMMC1 and emuMMC2? (Other than, say, running different saves)
3.- How can I, or is it even possible at all, install carts like Spyro Trilogy, that need to internet download the game to the SD card?
4.- Can I get a brief on Incognito and if it fits or is needed in my Caffeine scenarios?
Thanks in advance and sorry for the trouble.
