Hacking Question Which cfw to go with ?

[dracosson]

I know there are a few different ones. Most are free but there is a commercial one. There are different types of games that certain ones can run any pointers?

I have not worked on my switch to flash it no rcm jig yet just trying to find out a bit before I do it. Some games can be digital games, some cart dumps etc from my understanding.

First, if you just want to be able to run homebrew and play downloaded games, you don't need to pay for SX OS. The additional features of SX OS are not worth the price in my opinion, but that's your decision to make.

If you go with a free CFW, Atmosphere and ReiNX are both good choices. Atmosphere receives support updates quicker than ReiNX or SX OS, and Atmosphere is what most people use. Kosmos is noob version of Atmosphere that comes with just about everyone one could need in one package.

thats something what is hard to answer
but i always would recommend SX OS due to EmuNAND. Many Noobs dont know what they doing and then they get banned for very silly reasons.
but Atmosphere will get EmuNAND soon too. so you can either wait for ATMO or buy SX OS.
I wouldnt use ReiNX because it isnt very good made. big parts are just copy paste from Atmosphere and then you can use directly Atmosphere.
Then install Sig Patches and done you have a complete Atmosphere which is way better supported and you have the biggest point of ReiNX in ATMO.
so i would recommending SX OS currently because EmuNAND but if Atmosphere gets EmuNAND soon, theres no reason to buy SX OS as long as you dont want to play backups of Cardridges.

I honestly won't be playing online with the switch.
