Bear with me guys.
First off Ive been doing reading but these terms are new to me so Im trying to comprehend them.
Please correct me if Im off, which I prob am, but from my interpretation the switch keeps a static copy of its firmware embedded on 1 partition which is sysnand but uses a stored sort of emulated copy on another partition which is what we use to over right and thats the emunand. Its the fact that our sysnand isnt touched that keep nintendo thinking the system is fine? Now booting without using the dongle will call cause sysnand to over write the emunand on the fly with whatever the most current version is? Is this why people keep saying theyre on sysnand 7 and emunand 6whatever and playing fine?
Another term I just cam across was fuse burn? At first I was thinking capacitors or something were burning out lol, pardon my ignorance but it turns out this is just an old IBM Phrase for system chips being burned with new code and not being reversible?
If there is some sticky or wiki I missed, just send me the link so I can get the lingo better. If not Maybe we can actually use this thread to sort of make one?
Im sure there are plenty other people confuse on some of the terminology as well and that might ignite their frustrations at whats going on. I actually really started researching just out of curiosity to other firmware and cfw until an update is out, plus just learning a but more.
thanks
