I'm struggling to think of how outside of the color problem for N64 games, and the NES fuzzing.

I just bought Galaxy Blade yesterday and I'm having a blast.

What is Galaxy Blade?

Edit: sorry for the off-topic question, I've never heard of the game and a Google search just brings up a mobile game

 

[Discopizza]

Ugh, I updated for the free Blaster Master dlc that I'll never use a couple of weeks ago.

 

[TangoAlphaLima]

Ugh, I updated for the free Blaster Master dlc that I'll never use a couple of weeks ago.

Your update story is definitely the saddest, no question.

 

[Dreams-Visions]

i don't even know what firmware i'm on. i don't turn it on much.

edit: idk, it just says I have an update ready. I can't see what i'm running but it's apparently not 3.0.1.

 

[RoboGeorgeForeman]

I've kept mine up to date, but I don't really mind missing out on this. Only wanted the 3DS hacked so I could play games from other regions. Other than needing to fix VC and wanting an internet browser, I'm pretty satisfied with my Switch as is.

 

[Naked Snake]

Your update story is definitely the saddest, no question.

Yup, I updated for Sonic and I ain't even mad. Game is blessful.

 

[Maximo]

I'm surprised this happened so quickly. You would think that Nintendo would be slightly better about their security after the 3DS was blown open.

You would think Nintendo would be smart enough to do alot of things...

 

[Ventara]

Ugh, I updated for the free Blaster Master dlc that I'll never use a couple of weeks ago.

+1 lol... *sigh*

Though, tbh, I don't think there's any specific homebrew I currently want. Maybe video playback would be cool.

 

[Merchandise]

Well... Just picked up a second Switch. GS only had gray but I'll deal. At the very least, should be able to sell it.

Edit: Called another one and they have one neon left, but I can't go for a while and I don't know if I care enough lol

 

[Danneee]

Just checked. 3.0.1. Oh well, I would never use it for emulators without a proper d-pad.

 

[ViciousDS]

Don't think I've updated since breath of the wild


So mine should be good to see what they release for it. Got a 128GB SD in the thing too.

 

[SinCityAssassin]

I mean, is this like "They can't go online YET" or "Nothing will come of this EVER because nothing here can advance to newer firmwares"?

You literally cannot do anything online without 3.0.1

 

[oO_CurrY_Oo]

Haven't turned mine on in awhile so unless it auto updates I should be on a suitable firmware.

Not sure if I should even bother though.

 

[Smiles and Cries]

Welp, I can't believe I just did this...

The timing of this news and the system being available on Amazon.com for MSRP, coupled with the fact that I haven't had this much disposable income in a very long time... the synchronicity was too strong to pass up.

I already have a Switch since launch and it's updated to the latest fw. This should be a little to no risk investment at worst, and potentially a very valuable one. I figure if I end up not needing it I can sell it without much if any loss of value.

can they force updates?

I would be pissed if they did

 

[F34R]

can they force updates?

I would be pissed if they did

If you have it set up to auto update...

 

[Naked Snake]

Edit: Called another one and they have one neon left, but I can't go for a while and I don't know if I care enough lol

I wish Amazon had Neon when I ordered, had to settle for gray. I would have bought a neon even though I already have one of the same color.

 

[Vlaphor]

Just checked. 3.0.1. Damn. Oh well, felt the same way about my 3ds before I discovered the audio hack. I did just turn off auto-update though.

 

[Merchandise]

Wish I could confirm the one I just picked up has the correct firmware on it without opening. Any serial numbers or whatever that could allude to the package date? IDK

 

[SinCityAssassin]

Wish I could confirm the one I just picked up has the correct firmware on it without opening. Any serial numbers or whatever that could allude to the package date? IDK

If it's new, it's at 2.2.0. Current batches have not been manufactured with 3.0.1 preinstalled yet.

 

[Vena]

The Switch will force updates for software regardless, and there's no stopping that unless you don't want to use your software.

It'll patch from the cart. Everything going forward will force 3.0.1 or it just won't run.

The security on the Switch is considerably more robust than what was on the 3DS, so don't expect the same behavior.

 

[Persona7]

can they force updates?

I would be pissed if they did

Turn off Wi-Fi and check cart version of any future game.

Homebrew, uh, finds a way.

Its probably going to take less time then the 3DS.

 

[Minions]

Is there any way to update to 3.0? I'm on 2.1.0 at the moment.

 

[Xtyle]

Haven't touched my Switch for months. This is great news for me...hopefully we get some great emulators haha.

 

[B.K.]

Is there any way to update to 3.0? I'm on 2.1.0 at the moment.

People on GBATemp are saying the exploit works on firmwares under 3.0.

 

[Icedburden]

People on GBATemp are saying the exploit works on firmwares under 3.0.

This is correct.

 

[bryt]

I bought my Switch back in June and haven't opened it yet. Will that be firmware 3.0?

 

[Icedburden]

Homebrew, uh, finds a way.

With the security setup Nintendo has in place with the Switch, it is literally impossible to downgrade firmware.

I bought my Switch back in June and haven't opened it yet. Will that be firmware 3.0?

Most likely 2.3 or 2.5

 

[Minions]

People on GBATemp are saying the exploit works on firmwares under 3.0.

I understand that, but it would be desirable to be on the highest fw that the exploit works on as it would likely be the most stable.

 

[BoboBrazil]

So the exploit isn't out right? It was just found? What sites should I be looking at for instructions once it's released?

 

[Patchy]

Nintendo Virtual Console announcement imminent.

 

[ffejeromdiks]

Somewhere under the depths of Kyoto, a katana is unsheathed

This made me spit my coffee, incredible.

 

[Icedburden]

So the exploit isn't out right? It was just found? What sites should I be looking at for instructions once it's released?

Correct. Gbatemp is a great place with pretty cool people. Assuming you're looking for general hacks.

 

[Rats Off To Ya]

Damn, mine's already been updated. Oh well. This won't be the last exploit, but the early ones tend to be the best.

Turned off auto-update just to be safe for the future.

 

[Asd202]

Well wonder what will come out of this.

 

[tolkir]

So the exploit isn't out right? It was just found? What sites should I be looking at for instructions once it's released?

NeoGAF.

 

[7DollarHagane]

Piracy, awesome. It never was going to take very long for this to get exploited, being android-ish based.

 

[BoboBrazil]

Correct. Gbatemp is a great place with pretty cool people. Assuming you're looking for general hacks.

Thanks will check out gbatemp.

NeoGAF.

Lol yeah I know the home brew threads for the other systems here are always good.

 

[Murdamonk]

Only 2 homebrews i want are Moonlight and PS4 Remote Play....

Imagine being able to play your Steam games on the Switch.. That will be awesome.

 

[Salty Rice]

Im already on 3.1. but whatever.

Just wanna enjoy my legally acquired Switch games anyway.

Dont really need all the possible homebrew stuff that bad.

 

[Mask]

Mine is fully updated, but I don't really care about emulators on the switch since I have a retroengine sigma for emulators and stuff.

 

[Living the Dream]

GameStop got a huge restock in today. I advise everyone to go now.

I'm on my way. I want this thing hacked to hell and back.

 

[Merchandise]

Only 2 homebrews i want are Moonlight and PS4 Remote Play....

Imagine being able to play your Steam games on the Switch.. That will be awesome.

Wait, is it actually theoretically possible to do PS4 remote play on Switch? I would die.

 

[DroneBrother]

Wait, is it actually theoretically possible to do PS4 remote play on Switch? I would die.

It would be if Sony built the app for the players

 

[Living the Dream]

Just got mine at GameStop. Has firmware 2.3.0

 

[Like the hat?]

Had to update to keep playing Splatoon. Worth it.

 

[F34R]

I bought my Switch back in June and haven't opened it yet. Will that be firmware 3.0?

Nope. It'll be lower. 2.x.x

With the security setup Nintendo has in place with the Switch, it is literally impossible to downgrade firmware.

Most likely 2.3 or 2.5

Probably not. I bought another 18 days ago and it is on 2.2.0.

 

[B.K.]

I wonder how much control they can have with this exploit. It would be nice if they could eventually make emuNAND for Switch, like they used to for 3DS.

 

[Dr_LucienSanchez]

Like I thought, still on 3.0.0. Pretty happy about that.
