I took some time researching and reading and learning a lot from this community, first of all, as a new here I wanted to thank you for all information shared!

Here is what I have:
- Switch running on 8.0.1 on Sysnand
- Emunand 8.0.1 SX OS 2.7.1.
- No autoCFM
- I do manual jig+dongle boot everytime I'll boot into EmuNand+CFW

My understanding:
- Since I created my EmuNand in a specific snapshot of my Sysnand, it means all my current saved games from SysNand are there in the current state.
- To boot into the EmuNand, I use the jig+dongle exploit to boot the SX payload, then boot into CFW.
- When I want to swap to SysNand, I simply hold power and restart the console.
- I'll use my EmuNand+CFW when I want to play my games dumps, using the SX OS Album shortcut.
- When I want to continue my physical games cartridges progress or play online, I restart holding power, and boot into Sysnand+OFW.

Questions:
- Is it the correct approach to swap between environments, simply hold power and restart the console whenever I want to swap to the SysNand to either play online or play my original games?
- Are there any issues or concerns about doing this approach? I've read something about 'burning efuses' not sure if that may cause some future problem in my console.
- Since I have physical games with long hours of progress on those, I should play those games always in the SysNand+OFW, so that I can keep the progress and avoid discrepancies in my saves by playing in the EmuNand and SysNand, correct?
- If in the near future, I decide to update Smash Bros for example in the SysNand to play online and then it updates the firmware, is there any issues by doing that?

Sorry for the basic questions and for the block of text, appreciate any input you can provide!

TLDR; I'm playing original games on Sysnand and XCI, NSP on EmuNand, every time I swap to Sysnand I hold power and reboot, am I good by doing that or I'll damage the console or the EmuNnand environment somehow?

First of all, i edited you text a little, no piracy talk or you're out of here, there won't be another friendly warning

Now to your questions

Seems to me to be the right way of switching between Sys and Emu nand, just have in mind that noone really know what Nintendo can see on your console even though you are using emunand you might be banned in the future, noone knows, modding your console is always a risk

If you in the future maybe update your sys nand caurse you need to play online, you then might not be abel to boot emunand again before new updated SXOS is released

The fuse burnign is happening when updating you sysnand, it shoulden have any effect on being abel to boot CWF in the future, besides that you will always need to be on latest OFW if you're gonna play online anyway
