I see a number of you YouTubers making videos on how to install HBL, but I've yet to notice one mentioning backing up the NAND. I see links in the descriptions to GBAtemp, from time to time, too. Sounds like an important step to leave out.
Hacking Suggestion So many YouTube install videos without mentioning NAND backup

I a lot of those tutorials seem to be made by people for quick views without the knowledge they should have when making such videos.
Well, making a backup is common sense/knowledge for most people, so it's not really that absurd to not include that information.
Either way, Hekate can do you nand backup, as well as linux.

You can use hekate to back up your NAND. When you've got onto hekate, there's a tools option I believe. From there, you have to click dump Raw NAND and that should do so onto your SD Card.
Just format your sdcars to fat32 so you can use it for the mean time.

It's because it's unneeded. There's almost no way to softbrick your Switch.
I mean, it would be "nice" if youtubers made a comment about NAND backups before their tutorials but at the end of the day is not their responsability. We are the ones that are modding our consoles and should know what that comes with.
If you need to be reminded about making a backup everytime, then you probably shouldnt do anything to your console.

Tell that to the purple screen guy
Some guy bricked his switch (sidenote: it matched his keyboard at least
) and it gave him a purple screen. He didn't backup. Here's the thread:https://gbatemp.net/threads/permanent-violet-screen-on-switch.503909/

What's really cool about Pi's tho is you can have multiple SD cards with different OS on each SD card and change from say a gaming machine to a full fledged pc if wanted

Yeah but if your main goal is just to play n64 and GameCube you can save about $50 and have the portability option+1

For a kids aspect Anbernic would be the better option they'd probably melt over the price on a good 4k display+1

So they buy a pi5 kit for about $150 and say a 28" 4k display probably looking around $400 total

Again you get what you pay for, its like buying a S series for $300 but its only 1440p native, if you want true 4k, gotta get the X model for $500. But yea you right, when moms buying it anyways, you gotta stay cheap.

They could use HD out on their TV no real need for a monitor these days tbh the purists will disagree

I'm kind of phasing out on the need for wanting all these consoles cool to have but they just become dust build ups

I here ya there, I have too many myself, and have hard time letting them go, since most of mine I've modded at some point. Anymore I just play Switch on the go, seriesx at home.
