i was reading about the xecutor dongle "auto loads the payload". does that mean the console can be completely turned off and when i turn it back on the dongle will automatically boot RCM and CFW?
if this is correct, will other dongles do the same thing with REI or RAJ?

No, you have to manually go into RCM. Once in RCM, the dongle(Be it the TX one or any of the other ones) will auto load whatever payload they have inside
i think i understand this now. TX was the first hack and they have market share because of that. they overcharge for a dongle that is available for less from R4 and atmosphere. they also charge for a single use OS that is available for free from REI and RAJ. there is nothing superior about SX OS. a dongle is not necessary. regardless of what method i use i always have to connect the console to a device to load RCM. all i really need is freeware and a $1.50 jig unless i want to go super ghetto and use a piece of tinfoil.
is all this is correct? anything else i should know before i start buying stuff?

Well other than the fact that TX stole most of the SXOS features from Atmosphere, no i think you got it all. Though one correction is that SXOS can run .XCI games and for SOME people that is superior, for others it's not(It wouldn't be for you unless you care about not being banned from online), other than that...And hey, don't underestimate foil, if you can't find a jig(which, honestly, shouldn't be TOO hard in America), foil is an...adequate substitute. But yes you will always need to connect your system to something to load the payload, be it to your PC via a USA a to USB C cable or a dongle
LOL one more reason not to buy their wares.
can i dump games directly on the SD card when it's in the console or do i have to buy an adapter for my pc?
Because of Nintendo's new security features. See there is an app called FreeShop NX, works kind of like the FreeShop on 3ds HOWEVER, it uses your console's own certificate to access the CDN server and download any e-shop content for free. But doing this can get your cert banned in which case you loose access to online gaming, e-shop and even firmware updates. Sure there are OTHER ways of getting firmware updates but it's still a bit of a hassle
Hi Im new to all this and was hoping you might be able to help me out cause Im a little lost.Ive been told to beware of the NXSHOP for downloading the newest titles.The problem is I have found a Bit-torrent site that has a lot of switch titles but unfortunately not all.With Super mario party,Yoshi and super smash for the switch around the corner I am desperate to find another solution.Can I pop online to grab titles with NXSHOP and then pop off real quick safely?Do you know of a real good bit-torrent source that has updated titles?I will be getting my Executer SXpro soon and am trying to find out as much as I can before it gets here.
i could be wrong, but from what i've been reading this is the best way to get games. i guess they come right from nintendo but instead of going to the console they go to your computer.

You are correct. There is also, if you look around on google, several sites that host pre downloaded games. As for CDNSP, the current public cert is dead so we need to wait for a new one
The cert is dead again? You can probably blame me for that
It's not. I dunno why but when i used the newest version of CDNSP it told me the cert was dead but when i went back to the older version it worked fine
This is where you need to go to learn about bans.
Nintendo Switch Banning Hub & Warning
Yes it very possible to get banned playing backups, if your Switch ever goes online and you turn airplane mode off.
I too am a new super-noob to switch hacking. I have my switch but I am waiting before I do anything because I already stuffed up once before.
Imo a a mini-guide from one super-noob to another.
1. Get jig or do foil on joycon method to ne able to enter RCM mode.
2. Back up nand - https://gbatemp.net/threads/backup-...-your-biskeys-tseckeys-keys-txt-guide.513386/
3. Decide if you want to upgrade firmware offline to 5.1.0 using choidujournx method, or just update to latest one in settings
https://gbatemp.net/threads/choiduj...ller-homebrew-for-the-nintendo-switch.513416/
From there you can decide to use free cfw and use nsp files to play games or go with paid method like sxos for xci which is more common and easier to find games of from my experience. Also a lot of people said autorcm is dangerous so keep that in mind.
That's all I know for now. I hope this can help you in some way. Also if you are wondering about getting exfat SD card support, choidujournx offline firmware update comes with it. I tried to do it seperately and thats where I personally ran into trouble, it was the very first thing I tried to do with my switch.
