honestly, idk. ive been out of the loop for awhile so i don’t really know what i can do with it. when i first hacked my switch i was told to keep my firmware as low as possible. is that still the best advice?
Well yes. If you want a proper coldboot exploit. A lower firmware is always the best. Else some people keep Sysnand clean to play online etc. but keep Emunand full with the nasties, so sysnand is always clean.
would it be possible to use my emunand like a clean sysnand for online etc and keep my sysnand at 3.0 then or is that detectable by nintendo?
On 3.0.0 you can reboot to a payload from OFW, they’re also not super common nowadays (+ their nands have some neat factory stuff if you’re into that 
), so I wouldn’t update it (at least not without burning fuses).
Yeah, you can use an emummc for normal stuff, I do it all the time.

I'm not sure of the answer to this, but I wouldn't risk it. Either way, it's unnecessary. Update your sysnand using ChoiDujourNX and use autoRCM to keep your fuses from burning. That way, you can play online in sysnand (assuming you're wanting to play online) and still have the ability to return to 3.0 . And don't forget to do a NAND backup if you haven't already.

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 -

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

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?

@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 -

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

@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!

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

@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)
