AutoRCM really shouldn't be used unless you're hacking your switch to preserve the efuse count or plan on rebooting multiple times and don't want to worry about using a jig. Any OS version over 4.0 doesn't really benefit much from preserving the efuse count. So if you're over 4.0, don't worry about AutoRCM. The switch won't boot into the official FW with AutoRCM turned on, so technically Nintendo won't be able to tell that you enabled it for this hack. What can get you banned(from what I understand), is booting into a custom firmware and installing nsp files or connecting to nintnedo's servers while in the CFW mode.

To return to the normal switch, just swap your sd card back to your previous one, make sure that AutoRCM is turned off if you turned it on, and just boot the console normally without a jig and you'll be good. Like murryrulz said, you should really have a good understanding of the hacking side of the switch before really trying this. There's plenty of info on the internet already about everything switch hacking and everything I've mentioned already. You just have to search for it. The basics have been covered hundreds of times on hundreds of websites.

Yeah I've found that by lowering the emulated CPU clock in dolphin you can achieve 90%-100% speed on most games. If Reicast isn't working for you you can also use Redream for Dreamcast.

Also don't forget that HOS lacks support for a lot of streaming services and even a basic web browser (barring homebrew projects). Forgot to mention I did get joycons sticks registering in dolphin by playing around with the key layout files. Not sure if the original joycons fix fixed this but I know my edit did. Thanks to [MENTION=4348417]fma965[/MENTION] for the flashable zip! Please not that the fix does not make them work like analogs. They still work as digital but are recognized by Dolphin.

You need to use version 2.6 of the remote play apk and install the Xposed framework for Oreo 8.1 (can be found here on the XDA forums + the ds4adapter Xposed module. Once that's done you hide xposed and remote play in magisk. Version 2.7 and up of the remote play app does not work with Xposed for 8.1.

Get this: https://github.com/eliboa/TegraRcmGUI then also get this: https://github.com/CTCaer/hekate/releases/tag/v5.0.1 . Then drop the hekate bin on TegraRcmGUI, then you should get to hekate on your switch. Hit More Configs, then Switchroot Android.

I can confirm there are some issues with booting.

I've tested 64GB Samsung, 128GB Sandisk and 200GB Sandisk.

On Sandisk card, if you don't see LineageOS bootlogo in 30s after launching Android from Hekate, it won't boot at all, just black screen, no matter how long you wait.

But sometimes it boots fine.

But someone said earlier - Sandisk SDs are unrecommended for L4T, so I assume that's the reason?
[Nintendo Switch News, Guides, Discussion , Develop] KSAMJ:
i think the black screen and waiting time issues should be mentioned from the start on the release log... it is kinda frustrating to sit like this and thinking the problem is from the image burned on the sd card

i am like 20 minutes now and still no progress what so ever can be detected on my switch.. i really envy the L4T linux for the speed it boots from the card

Same thing happened to me when I used my 32gb samsung evo+ ch1, i got "datat" partition to mount by going in twrp to ("wipe" > "advanced wipe" > check "data" > "repair or change file system" > "change file system" > "exFAT" and swipe to change > and back once again to change it to "EXT4". It should mount now, however, i got stuck later on on the boot logo loading for over an hour so i used my Sandisk ultra A1 128gb, worked flawlessly and quite fast as well. So like everyone guessed so far everything really depends on the type of sd card used.

Not saying I don't believe you, because I only installed it and haven't tested anything yet, but did you change to the "performance" battery profile before running it? Redream runs pretty well on my old Nexus 9 so I figured the switch should be able to handle it...
[Nintendo Switch News, Guides, Discussion , Develop] xxcrashxx:
I did a brief explanation as to why this happens back on page 66, but for Netflix you will need to download the apk from another site, not from the play store. Apk pure is a trusted site. Make sure you get the version with the black logo, not the white one. The white one didn't work for me. Funny enough, I just booted this up today and checked the play store and it updated Netflix.

I don't have an iphone to test it, but as long as you have the lighting otg cable, use the hekate payload with it, and have everything setup on your sd card correctly, there's no reason why it shouldn't work. Any payload injection method should work.

Am I dense or do I need to do anything special to get the joycons working (attached)?
[Nintendo Switch News, Guides, Discussion , Develop] TheMadHeader:
Do you mean just pairing them remotely, or pairing when attached? for pairing in general, and sssuming you're familiar with going into the Android settings and initiating the pairing, then all you need to do is press the small recessed button on the inside edge of each Joycon. The LEDs will flash (and stay flashing even when paired, I guess that's a bug) and you should also see on Android that they have paired.

HOWEVER, they won't pair by simply attaching them, no doubt this will be fixed but at the moment they only work via Bluetooth even when attached.

Also note that they won't charged when attached to the Switch, that has yet to be implemented, so to charge them you'll either need to boot your Switch as normal then attach them to charge or charge them with the chargeable Grip.
