Just found out the Switch I got a while back is a V1 model, meaning that it’s one of the Switches that’s able to be modified. I’m thinking of modifying it, but I’d like to know the upsides and issues first.

    The only downside is that you won’t be able to play online (at least not while using the modded OS).

    Upsides are a lot, from piracy, to homebrew apps, emulation, game modding or overclocking.

      Granted, it would be rather dumb to be going online with anything pirated on the switch, but dual booting is a pretty fair way of going about it if you already own games/ want online options. Just takes extra memory in the SD card.

      Definitely recommend it.
