Also some questions about Emunand.

Does it behave the same way SysNand behaves? In other words, to fully shut down still have to reboot into SX menu and shut down from there? Still have to use AutoRCM (unless I want to short rails every time I boot)... etc... basically everything is the same functionality wise, except I can be on latest firmware on the emunand?

Thanks!

EDIT:

For anyone looking for a guide, the process is quite easy.

1) Wipe the SD Card and format as FAT32 (32GB or larger SD)
2) Boot into SX menu (hold Vol+ on boot)
3) Create Emunand from there (hidden partition). (Will take about an hour)
4) Once back in proper OS launch SX Menu (via photo album) it should say you are in emunand (if cant boot make sure you are on SXOS 2.8 or later)
5) Download Switch update and ChoiDujourNX (look up a guide how to update, make sure you are in Emunand when you update). Process is basically just run ChoiDujourNX and pick the Firmware folder.

Thats it.

Yes. EmuNAND/EmuMMC behave exactly the same way as SysNAND.
And yes. For SX OS you have to reboot to sx payload and shutdown from there or hold power button to ferce shutdown it. Or you can use ams with proper shutdown.
With 4.1.0, you can use caffein to reboot to cfw.
But the first point still stands. EmuNAND/EmuMMC works just like SysNAND.

    the indie games on wii u were amazing though

    and also some of nintendo's first party games
  • ColdBlitz @ ColdBlitz:
    some of the best selling games on the switch are wii u ports (that are priced way too high
    like come on 60 for a game thats a decade old??)

  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @ColdBlitz, i forgot breath of the wild released for the Wii u
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    $60 for a game that's a decade old might be unheard of on PC but actually is not uncommon on consoles

  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    especially Nintendo because they only ever lower the price of games when they do a greatest hits/platinum hits/players choice re-release
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @The Real Jdbye, and the HD collections released for 7th gen consoles too
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    but they don't seem to have done any of those for the switch yet and maybe never will
  • ColdBlitz @ ColdBlitz:
    I think we all forgot breath of the wild released for the wii u tbh

  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @The Real Jdbye, tbh the HD collections are more justified since they include more than just 1 game per copy
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @SylverReZ I read that non-binary people identify as a blend of male and female. The point is i think i'm a blend of those and thus non binary
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Xdqwerty, Non-binary people are those who don't identify themselves exclusively as male or female.
  • cearp @ cearp:
    I don't identify as anything, unless I need to get on a plane then I show ID
