My Switch was shorted on card reader slot so it would soon unable to read SD card. Is there any way to go around this or I'm fucked?

Pretty much. ReiNX had the function to be able to boot into CFW without an SD card, but a.) You would have to be on a system version supported by ReiNX (and you can't downgrade without an SD card), and b.) You would still need an SD card for any homebrew apps.

So yeah, you're fucked.

Well, my SD may still work long enough to downgrade before it completely dead and I may not need any homebrew app. With that in mind, how should I process?

If you aren't using any homebrew apps, what's the purpose of CFW? Backup loading?

The latest version of ReiNX should at least work on 10.0.2 (maybe higher). So, if you can get the following steps to work, do the following:
  1. Downgrade to 10.0.2 using Atmosphere and Daybreak. I wouldn't recommend doing this without an eMMC backup stored somewhere safe, and with your SD reader allegedly on the verge of failing, I don't think I'd recommend this at all.
  2. See if the latest version of ReiNX boots without an SD card.
If you can get the SD reader working, that'd be recommended of course.

    i used to go out to the recycling center every couple weeks and look at the crts and other electronics people would drop off. Usually screens were broken or severely scratched from being tossed around. Did find a good one here and there, but never anything like a 1080i widescreen crt.

  • a_username_that_isnt_cool @ a_username_that_isnt_cool:
    Is it piracy if it was released for free? Not in my opinion, but I also think it's not piracy if buying it isn't owning it, and it's not piracy if you can't buy it from the original creators anymore.

    Free release can have loopholes where they still make money through ads
