It's been a while since we've had a CFW poll, so I decided to create one just to see what most people use. Could be balanced, might not be. Keep in mind that this is just to get a good idea of what people prefer in a CFW, not to determine which CFW is the best or has the most features.

Please refrain from bickering below as I'd hate to have this thread locked over it. Instead, why not reply with what features you like/dislike about your preferred CFW?

I currently use Atmosphere (because of RetroArch) and previously used SX OS, maybe I'll use SX again later, but currently Atmosphere is the better choice for me (after a crash I can reboot into the payload again, woop woop)

34 votes already! Not that reliable yet, but the current results are still interesting nonetheless. I can't wait to see how they change as more people vote.

Bought SX OS (still only used nsp), kept using it for a while, it still had patches that allowed converted xci->nsp to run when they wouldn't in other CFW at first, maybe one or two other advantages like that temporarily. Kept using it out of inertia until Atmosphere's first public release, switched over and haven't used anything else since.

Previously I was using ReiNX, because I know Rei from the 3DS scene and when I saw it, it was a no-brainer. However, with time, I came to appreciate atmosphere a lot more.

I would like to use SX OS but I don't see any particular benefits. I don't use the online service, I don't care about USB loading since I use my Switch in handheld mode 100% of the time and on top of that, I don't trust them. And waiting 50 days for an update? No, thanks.

SX OS has been a bitch to me for using Homebrew stuff lol.
But EmuNAND is bae. (This made life safer).
AMS is awesome for kips,homebrew etc. (Personally this made life easier).

  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    i thought everybody knew cocktails are like 75% ice
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Yeah but not like this.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It's not like they're complaining that their Slurpee is 99% ice or something, but if the cocktail calls for "shot of vodka, shot of vermouth, shot of gin, shot of Campari, three shots of juice, squirt of lemon" and ends up being a thimbleful of booze, that's a problem.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    the funny thing is cocktails in norway are only allowed to have 1 20ml shot of booze
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    so..... yeah
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    we're used to only having a thimbleful of booze
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Booo.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    same thing if you want whisky on the rocks or something, you can't get a double
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    but you could buy as many shots of whisky (or anything else) as you want and ask for a glass of ice and pour them in
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    it's dumb
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Maybe.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    There was a comparison of the number of Ibuprofen poisonings before and after they limited the maximum dosage per box or per pill (i'll look that up). No limit on the number of boxes you can still buy as many as you want, so people argued it was pointless.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    But the number of (accidental) poisonings dropped because drinking an entire package of ibuprofen pills went from "I need a new liver" to "I need a new box of Ibuprofen".
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Here we have ketoprofen that used to be prescription-only because of the risk of toxic dosages, but then they halved the dose per pill and sell them in bottles of six pills apiece instead of twenty and it doesn't need a prescription any more. Yes you can buy more than one bottle but people simply don't.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Usually accidentally overdose of ibuprofen here is from people taking like cold medicine then ibuprofen for a headache and the combination is over what they need
