Okay so some background: V1 switch using autorcm with hekate 6.0.7 booting EMUnand atmosphere 17.0.0|AMS 1.6.2|E, I do have exosphere setup for emunand.

I'm tired of using some outside source to download updates/DLC (not games) for my cart games etc. but also have some stuff that is fine offline with saves I rather keep etc. so If possible I would like to keep autorcm enabled and update sysnand and OFW to the latest to use normally after booting it from hekate. Is this safe to do, I read that if you have EMUnand the OFW does not see this and you can use the same SCARD for both EMUnand and SYSnand but that seems like a ban waiting to happen regardless of what's on the sdcard? Like for instance is the hekate payload just sitting on the sdcard already a bad idea? I understand that updating OFW from just OFW will turn off autorcm and I will have to reenable it, as well as it will burn fuses but I don't think that will mater to the EMUnand and for OFW use is this not a good thing? Also after doing all of that I would need to in Hekate make a new fresh SYSnand backup to restore from incase of an issue as the old clean SYSnand one I have would be worthless I take it because of the fuse count change?

I also am not sure at the moment what OFW I'm even on, so is there a good way to check that as well if it matters before doing any of this?

I have searched the threads etc. and found what I think I need to know but just want a sanity check before I do something stupid.

Also another question is there a way I can get my saves for games from CFW to my OFW at all that they would work with the carts?

Right, I understand that and am asking if I have one or not, I haven only ever used the EMUnand. By using Autorcm at all has now made my SYSnand no longer clean?

Autorcm doesn't touch the nand, if you installed nsp on sysnand cfw then it is dirty as sysnand cfw share nand with ofw

you should be good/clean on sysnand. Do keep in mind you will need to get up to date OFW firmware to go online gaming as well. So prepare you hekate and all other homebrew up to date before you update firmware

Okay that is what I thought but doing it all on the same sdcard is okay? Cause if it's a dumb risk I can use a second sdcard for just OFW use. Also can they not see the use of rcm? Sorry for all the questions I just want to be in the right knowledge. So If I update to v18 ofw then my current version of hekate won't boot anymore correct and I would need 6.2.1?

Sorry just saw this. I have not used custom fw on sysnand at all only emunand. Only thing I did at one point was update ofw on sysnand normally years ago to fix a card slot issue on emunand based on fuses I think.
