Hacking Switch firmware 3.0.2 released.

[Thirty3Three]

Goddamn. All these newbies trying to place reason to update. They'll regret it, if they're on 3.00.

But i do not hope so :-)
I spend too many money yet for the Wii U and 3DS.
Dont buy a Switch with Firmware before 3.0.0.
Waste of money.
And i am not a newbie :-)
Comes a hardware mod ?

I think many people feel burnt after the PS4 situation. It's been almost a year since the hype around a 3.55 exploit started, with plenty of devs telling people not to update, to buy a spare PS4 Pro and put it in the closet, loads of devs showing off their exploits and telling people 'just wait, it'll be released soon!" and nothing appearing. In the meantime, people missed out on good games. And y'know, we're all gamers first.

Things were more clear cut in the past. A developer would find an exploit, give people the heads-up to not update, then release. People like Yifan_lu and Smealum are kings among men. But there's been an awful lot of hot air from other devs who have just lead people on. Of course nobody is entitled to an exploit being made public, but I think people are jaded by the false promises.

who cares? its their choice. some people would rather play online than wait for homebrew...if it ever gets released in the near future

Don't be condescending. It's unbecoming. And dickish.

LMAO sorry what?! This specifically coming from the guy who calls everyone who dares to challenge him "kiddo". I don't really want to start something but I have to point out to you how hypocritical you are.

And, btw, I'm still not "banned" like you said I would be

^Exactly this. I bought a 1.76 ps4 and it sat in a box for over a year, waiting for something worthwhile to be released. I finally said "screw this", sold it. and used the money to buy a Pro

 

[Noctosphere]

I wonder what exploit they patched

well, by comparing the source code of 3.0.1 and 3.0.2, dev might find an exploit for 3.0.1, if they patched an exploit ofc

I did the same and I'm glad I did!

can people please stop comparing this to the Wii U or the PS3 or whatever

it's a different console completely, and people are actually interested in it unlike the Wii U (in comparison with the initial boom)

personally im just waiting for a Pokemon game to show up on the switch and the scene will just explode, especially if it's anything like the 3ds

Pokemon -> profit

 

[Reecey]

Arghh.... more stability! that's what we all need!

What make you think this won't be another PS3 3.51 situation where the only exploits exist on older firmware?

I think that's comparing apples to oranges. The PS3 had a complete key compromise, and it didn't have much in ways of preventing downgrades. There isn't as much incentive to investigate exploits given that; it's not hard to find a PS3 that you can either exploit outright or downgrade with hardware.
I think a better comparison is the Xbox 360, which had efuses to prevent downgrades. After the jtag exploit was fixed, and efuses burned, they resorted to glitching the hardware to exploit it.

Just when I thought they were adding online for other regions,

• General system stability improvements to enhance the user's experience

I agree with your post entirely and find it a very refreshing read considering the content of most of these type of threads, I would however add @SciresM to that list of kings, in the past even when others have been awkward about releasing things he has always come through for us

I personally don't see anything that compels me to stay on 3.0.1 when the Wii U homebrew offers no less than what the Switch will offer. Aside from playing Switch "backups", homebrew will be the same as that the Wii U offers.

Then don't, nobody is forcing you to. You're allowed to have an opinion that differs from mine and the rest of the crew that decided not to update. Our opinions don't have to align.

Let people do what they want to do with their console, and stop trying to convince them to do otherwise.

Tbh, this is essentially the reason we had the whole a9lh master race sheit XD

 

[PatrickJr]

I'm on 3.0.1 and gonna wait to see if there could be a new bug or something.

A bit different, though. In the early days of A9LH, it was a matter of whether you wanted the latest and best hack, at the risk of bricking, which turned off the more conservative crowd, which was following the proverbial "Why fix something that isn't broken?" This update or not update above 3.00 question, is almost like religion. Do you believe in future homebrew and want to deprive yourself of online and new games while waiting for the hack to happen, or you're a non-believer who wants to live in the present, play online the latest games, and f**k the after-life of homebrew?

because Nintendo's console security has always bordered on meme territory, but most importantly, Nintendo is nowhere near as strict when compared to Sony in banning or even suing people in the scene

also because the switch will (supposedly) have another Pokemon game, and I stand by what I previously said, once that shit drops homebrew will explode
