There’s a tut to update/downgrade your firmware to any version without burning fuses in the tut section. I just did mine last night to play odyssey. If the time comes you can downgrade back to 3.0.0. Be sure to read it fully, there’s some minor drawbacks.

You lost Deja Vu cold boot.
You lost function of the cartridge slot controller at lower firmware.
You lost.

Yeah Coldboot isnt any Important, also the Chance we get Coldboot is Like 0,0001% it is possible but No one is even Close. 4.1 get Warmboot which is also useless since you boot into OFW to boot CFW, so easier with AutoRCM.Also since we have autoRCM and I am Sure we find a way to spoof the fuses in Cartridge :-)

just upgrade.....you bought the console to play games right? Staying on low firmware is just restricting you. I'm on 5.1.0 and I still have emulators and other homebrew, LayeredFS works and TX OS. Sure, there may be a few that don't work (like I couldn't get the Neo-Geo Pocket emulator to work). Sure, you MAY lose out on the opportunity to cold boot, but that's really the only thing you would be missing out on and maybe a couple homebrew apps that may not work.

I bought a switch to hack and tinker with, not sure why the OP did. Most the games suck ass (PC MASTER RACE FTW), only a select few I would like to play. Coldboot is important to many people around here including myself so please stop telling people it's not important or useless, just because you don't feel the need for it.

    Back when Oculus Rift was still starting out and being demoed around, they modded existing games to use it as a 360° immersive screen thing and that was AMAZING.

    The tech isn't there for affordable power enough VR headsets at a good market value yet sadly, oculus had a good idea but didn't have enough funds for marketing iirc

    The tech to have quality VR goggles at an affordable price is here, but every set has to have 4 additional controllers and be standalone.

    These are the same type of gamers that spend $2,000 on a GPU when a $600 GPU gives nearly the same outcome which is what the market looks at for them to do spend more on unneeded bs
