Yes! you need an unpatched switch to use sxos or Atmosphere (and a way to activate rcm, which is easy ),
or flash spacecraft nx and run Atmosphere but without any knowledge i wouldnt
You don't need that, you can launch hekate+atmosphere from sxos boot menu, or use sx gear boot.dat+ini and launch atmosphere or variants directly. Also, be careful when flashing spacecraft-nx...

I wish people would stop perpetuating this lie. It just makes threads confusing more than anything.
You can run SXOS or atmosphere on any switch. Patched Switches require a modchip install. SXOS has two main features atmos doesn't, namely hdd loading and xci loading. Otherwise they're the same. SXOS is 10x simpler to use than atmos, but atmos will most likely be supported for longer and is free.
thats not fully correct....AMS has HDD Loading but no XCI loading...you can install NSP of ur HDD if you use Tinfoil or simmilar
Ah. I must've missed those updates. I've only loosely followed atmos up until recently. From what it sounds like, SXOS is still the more "seamless" hdd option, but thanks for the correction!
atmosphere is updated quicker and doesnt cost anything, other than that they both work about the same. It is easier to setup sxos, but once setup I dont find atmos any harder to use. It took me about 20 minutes to install atmos the first time after switching from sxos, but then a fedw hours reinstalling my software that didnt work anymore.

if you want to use the dongle then yes
if you have a patched switch you can get a mod chip for mariko or lite.

You should get an unpatched unit regardless of CFW because patched units require a modchip above firmware 4.1 and those are not only hard to track down but require soldering.

@Jayro, I don't see whats so special about the DS ML, its just a DS lite in a phat shell. At least the phat model had louder speakers, whereas the lite has a much better screen.+1 -

They probably said "Hey, why not we combine the two together and make a 'new' DS to sell".

Nothing special about it other than it's more comfortable than the Lite+1

@SylverReZ if you could find a v5 DS ML you would have the best of both worlds since the v5 units had the same backlight brightness levels as the DS Lite unlockable with flashme -

A woman with no arms and no legs was sitting on a beach. A man comes along and the woman says, "I've never been hugged before." So the man feels bad and hugs her. She says "Well i've also never been kissed before." So he gives her a kiss on the cheek. She says "Well I've also never been fucked before." So the man picks her up, and throws her in the ocean and says "Now you're fucked."+2 -

anyways, we need to re-normalize physical media+1
if i didn't want my games to be permanent, then i'd rent them -
@
BigOnYa:
Agreed, that why I try to buy all my games on disc, Xbox anyways. Switch games (which I pirate tbh) don't matter much, I stay offline 24/7 anyways.

@BakerMan - you can still "own" digital media, arguably easier and better than physical since you can make copies and backups, as much as you like.
The issue is DRM -
@
cearp:
You can buy drm free games / music / ebooks, and if you keep backups of your data (like documents and family photos etc), then you shouldn't lose the game. but with a disk, your toddler could put it in the toaster and there goes your $60
