I'm looking to do a system transfer from my old Switch (hackable) to my new Switch (unhackable).

My source Switch is on 6.1, my new Switch is on whatever the Pokemon bundle comes with. What I would like to do is this:

1.System transfer from my old Switch to new Switch
2. Set up my new Switch to be my legit, online console
3. Do a system format of my old Switch to remove any connection to my account information
4. Hack my old Switch

The problem is, when doing a system transfer, you must connect to the internet and update before it lets you progress. I obviously don't want to update to 6.2, because I won't be able to hack the system, then. My question is: can I do a system transfer without doing an update? Is there a way I can block a connection to the update servers so I'm not prompted to update when doing the transfer?

Or, should I update to 6.2, do the system transfer, and then wait until 6.2 is hackable? I've been out of the loop, so I'm not sure how long something like that will take.

Thanks!

I just had another thought. What if I update both systems to 6.2, do the transfer, wipe the hackable system, and boot into RCM... will I be able to install a 6.1 CFW at that stage? ie. 6.2 Sysnand, 6.1 Emunand? Is that possible?

I'm using terms that might not be accurate, so forgive me if what I say is confusing haha

    @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.

    They probably said "Hey, why not we combine the two together and make a 'new' DS to sell".
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It's a DS Lite in a slightly bigger DS Lite shell.

  • Veho @ Veho:
    It's not a Nintendo / iQue official product, it's a 3rd party custom.

    Nothing special about it other than it's more comfortable than the Lite
    for people with beefy hands.

    @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
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    but that's a long shot
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    i think only the red mario kart edition phat was v5
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    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."

    anyways, we need to re-normalize physical media

    if i didn't want my games to be permanent, then i'd rent them

    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.
  • AncientBoi @ AncientBoi:
    I don't pirate them, I Use Them :mellow:. Like I do @BigOnYa 's couch :tpi::evil::rofl2:

    @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 @ 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

    :rofl2:
  • cearp @ cearp:
    still, I agree physical media is nice to have. just pointing out the issue is drm
  • rqkaiju2 @ rqkaiju2:
    i like physical media because it actually feels like you own it. thats why i plan on burning music to cds
  • cearp @ cearp:
    It's nice to not have to have a lot of physical things though, saves space
