How do i do it so i don't over update to 7.0?

I'm also using Renix but I want to play FF9 but 6.0 doesn't support it :(

Download a copy of the 6.1 firmware and use the switch homebrew app choidejournx to update it. No need to turn on autorcm because 6.0 and 6.1 are the same fuse count. Uncheck autorcm when you update

You'd better be careful and cautious and find a safe way to update. Although I don't know how to do it, I saw it in others forums that someone wanted to updated his Switch to 6.2, but it automatically updated to 7.0 and then those CFWs didn't work.

He want to update to 6.2.0... Read the posts carefully. 6.2.0 has 8 fuses brunt so he still need autoRCM!

Oh I missed that. Thought he was going to 6.1. You're right. You'll need autorcm.

Did you have a backup?

Yup i do, and my switch is still working fine but the update to 6.2 didn't work.

I think the rest of the error was this: Written preventative hekate_ipl.ini to microSd
You MUST use the PreventGCUpdate launch configuration EVERY BOOT if you want to prevent GC controller update!

that's just a warning

Make backups of your saves with checkpoint first though

Also verify the files are from a good source

The text which you have shown above is only a warning, like @Adran_Marit mentioned. That's not an error. If you received an error above that text you should show us the full log.
