Hello. I was wondering if I could get some help configuring emunand for offline play and sysnand for online play. Currently, I am running sysnand with the Atmosphere CFW. Unfortunately, I have no nand backup from before using CFW, but I think I might be able to pull it off since I haven't gone online while running CFW.
I had found this thread, among others: https://gbatemp.net/threads/how-to-setup-emunand-keep-sysnand-online.520471/
What I could not find, however, was a clear tutorial for how to do this with 2 SD cards (as opposed to 2 partitions on 1 SD card):
I'd like a Switch with autoRCM enabled, with
1. an SD card with the sysnand, updated to latest firmware, no CFW. Meant for online play (if not already banned).
2 an SD card with emunand, not neccesarily on latest firmware. Atmposphere. Meant for playing backups.
What I was thinking of doing, was the following:
1. Create an emunand partition on the original SD card (SD1)
2. Install CFW on the second SD card (SD2)
3. Use choidujourNX on SD2 to update it to the latest firmware, make sure it's a factory reset and enable autoRCM. Create new Nintendo accounts etc.
Now only use the emunand partition on SD1 (perhaps even delete the other partition?) And use SD2 to boot into sysnand for online play.
I think I got it right this way, but I might be missing something. Does anyone have any experience with doing this?
Thanks in advance
EDIT
Additional question. In the guide I linked above, OP instructs to update the 'new' sysnand via the internet, and the emunand using choidujourNX.
Wouldn't it be better to update the sysnand using choidujourNX as well? Just to be sure of not burning fuses? Or would Nintendo sense that you did not update using the official channel?
