Future software/dongle-solution for 'Mariko' Switch?

[EatMyShorts]

Hey,

are there any future solutions to start a cfw with a dongle for 'Mariko' consoles?
Or is the SX Core hardware hack the one-and-only solution?

SX Core is the only way right now and as it seems, there wont be dongle solution.

... and I have the possibility to play every game from the last years with this hardware-hack?

 

[Grimlock97]

Yes you have

... alright!

1. update switch to 10.0.4
2. install sx core
3. format sd-card to fat32, copy 'boot.dat' from SX OS 3.0.4 BETA to sd-card
4. insert sd-card to switch and start

right?

5. dump sysNand and copy this backup to your computer
6. create emuNand
7. Start using CFW

For step 6. According to @Alchemy.Gaming: "Once you are finished, COPY the sxos/backup folder somewhere safe. Then you can simply rename it to sxos/emunand"
But I didn't test this solution.

you dont need to create emunand on sx bootloader. if you dumped your nand, do what alchemy.gaming wrote. That works too.

That's why I offered him this solution that I considered safe to share considering from whom it was coming from.
