You can, not sure exactly how it works with TX os though. Use rajkostos method, be aware that you will burn a cartridge slot fuse, making it unusable on firmware below 4.0.0.
I'm stuck in the same situation, I decided to just update to 4.1 with tropical storm so I get better game comparability/fix SDXC update prompt and still have Fusée Gelée working for atmosphere in the future.
Im gonna get a cartridge at gamestop and return it after updating since I cant get anything larger than 4 Gigs onto the SD card because my switch wants to update for exfat support even though its on 2.2.
If it's just exfat support you are after then I recommend this guide
https://gbatemp.net/threads/how-to-...tch-console-on-any-ofw-without-update.505182/
I followed it and added exfat support to my 4.0.1 switch.
I still need to go to a higher firmware to play super mario odyssey but thanks I will try it out so I can play BOTW for now
So, concerning that long rajkosto upgrade/downgrade fuse ignoring guide:
Is there anyway I can make this easier/faster due to sx os or the dongle?
Or anything I should look out for?
I'm on 2.3 but will 'temporarily' update to the latest fw so I can play the latest games. Hopefully I can cold boot via 2.3 later

Not really SX can't help you. It's really not that bad. Just make sure to backup nand so you know you can always go back. Read the guide several times before attempting this. Ask if you are not sure.
assuming you backed up raw nand and boot 1 and 2 we will probably see a downgrade method from TX that ignores fuse checks, with all the money they just made and will keep making they can afford sacrificial switches .So, concerning that long rajkosto upgrade/downgrade fuse ignoring guide:

Thanks
I see rajkosto added information about sx os 1.2, cool
i'm not necessarily worried about making a mistake (although that wouldn't be good)
but haha, the guide is 'that bad' - it's so incredibly long. (a great guide of course, but, 0% enjoyability factor)
but yeah i'll probably do it.
thanks
You can play Mario Odyssey on 4.1, plus, you can also split *.XCI flies into 4Gb files & run them through SX OS to get around the need for exFAT support..
Still new to this didn't know you can split the XCI, I will look into this on my next day off thanks

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 -
@
TwoSpikedHands:
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?

@
Sicklyboy:
@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 -
@
Sicklyboy:
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

@
TwoSpikedHands:
@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!

@
TwoSpikedHands:
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

@
The Real Jdbye:
@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)

when SD cards/microSD write speeds drop below a meg a sec, they're usually on the verge of dying+1 -
