but you can update with only the cart without going online correct? so there is a theoretical possibility to get to a vulnerable version in the future by updating through the right game?
IE your on lets say 2.0 . vulnerable is version 3.0, current version is 9.73. on arms or whatever there is update 3.0 on the cart -> use the game to get to the right version


Yes you can use a cart to go upwards.

This seems to be a question that was not very well thought out. What do you think the intent of having an update on the cart is? Obviously you can update without going online.

Sorry about the bad english.
I wasnt sure that there was confirmed updates on carts yet, i just read that you need to be on 3.0 to play arms i think it was. and i wasnt sure if they added the complete update on the cart or they just added the information that the console needs to be at least on firmware 3.0 on the cart (update your console to play this game message).

No worries, I'm not sure if the "complete" update is on the cart or not, it may be missing the updated web browser, for instance. But the update will give you what you need to play the game.

Hey everyone,

i got a Switch witch 2.X.X should i update now? Today the Version is 3.0.1. Is this in the future possible to get a homebrew?

No, don't update it. You will have to go to 3.0.1, which is no good for eventual homebrew.

Newbie user here. I'm planning to get a Switch by December of this year along with other stuff. How is 3.0.1 not good for eventual homebrew, at least for most of the forsee-able future?

It rebuilt all the apps which means the dumped console keys are no longer valid. The warning really only applies to devs, though, because once they develop and release an exploit a method for dumping keys will likely go public

I managed to get me the mk8 deluxe files. The .szs files contain the .bfres file as the WiiU version, but the tools can't open them.:unsure:

They're actually a bit different compared to Wii U's BFRES. Also don't forget that all files are byteswapped to little endian now.

Quietly? What are you talking about? We are already running backups on 3.01, just update and use browserswitchhax to get homebrew but be careful since Nintendo is banning people who modify their system, so you are doing it on your own risk

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Interesting lol
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I think I watched a video where two games at 4K where eating just over 16GB of RAM and it's the one case where the 7900XT and XTX pulled ahead (minus RTX of course)
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    So my opinion is that they could age a bit better in the future, and maybe AMD will continue improving them via drivers like they tend to do. No guarantee there but they have done it in the past. Just a feeling I have.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    cyberpunk at 4k without DLSS/fidelityfx *might* exceed 12gb
    +1
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    but that game barely runs at native 4k
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I think it was some newer games and probably poorly optimized PS4 or PS5 ports
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    they definitely will age better but i feel dlss might outweigh that since it looks about as good as native resolution and much less demanding
    +1
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    When I played Cyberpunk on my old 2080 Ti it sucked lol
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    AMD could introduce something comparable to DLSS but nvidia's got a lot more experience with that
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    least amd 7xxx has tensor cores which the previous generations didn't so there is the potential for AI upscaling
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    They have FSR or whatever it's called and yeah it's still not great
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    so AMD seem to finally be starting to take AI seriously
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Oh yeah those new 8000 CPUs have AI cores built in that's interesting
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Maybe they plan on offloading to the CPU?
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Would be kinda cool to have the CPU and GPU working in random more
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Tandem even
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    i think i heard of that, it's a good idea, shouldn't need a dedicated GPU just to run a LLM or video upscaling
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    even the nvidia shield tv has AI video upscaling
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    LLMs can be run on cpu anyway but it's quite slow
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    Have you ever been beaten by a wet spaghetti noodle by your girlfriend because she has a twin sister, and you got confused and fucked her dad?
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I had a girlfriend who had a twin sister and they would mess with me constantly.... Until one chipped a tooth then finally I could tell them apart.... Lol
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    They would have the same hair style the same clothes everything... Really messed with my head lol
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    @The Real Jdbye, I could see AMD trying to pull off the CPU GPU tandem thing, would be a way to maybe close the gap a bit with Nvidia. Plus it would kinda put Nvidia at a future disadvantage since Nvidia can't make X86/64 CPUs? Intel and AMD licensing issues... I wonder how much that has held back innovation.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    i don't think nvidia wants to get in the x64 cpu market anyways
