Ok guys,
in advance I want to thank everyone for your help & I also have been a long time lurker and want to say I appreciate all the info & work that has been put in!
Now back to my questions!
I’m planning on finally hacking my virgin 2.3.0 fw switch this weekend. Help me get the steps right plz!
1) achieve RCM mode: my plan is to mod right joycon with a reed switch soldered to the pins inside to retain factory appearance.
2) after getting into RCM mode backup NAND & Keys.
3) install atmosphere: planning on using my pc to inject the payload. I’m wanting to use retroarch for old favorites and homebrew menu. Pirating new games isn’t on my list of needs so NSP support should be good enough.
4) install some kind of DNS blocker so I can use the online functions of the homebrew menu ? Or should I stay completely offline ?
5) update via ChoiDujour in order to play my Mario game. (I have purchased a bunch of game carts... from my research it’s looking like they may be unusable if I’m updating via choidujour because I need to disable the GC reader so it doesn’t get updated ?)
6) this part is where I get a little confused: once updated via choidujour I HAVE to have auto RCM enabled ? Because if it boots through the stock bootloader it will burn fuses ?
And if I’m using autoRCM, I have to keep the switch awake all the time & charged otherwise it could drain the battery and “brick” the console ?
7) is there some kind of safeguard so I cannot boot and burn fuses ?
8) if some new features come out and I want to downgrade back to 2.3.0 I would just Restore my nand from the RCM menu ?
I know it’s a lot and I know the info is out there, I’m just hoping someone with experience can help steer me in the right direction.
Thanks everyone !!
