Hacking Discussion PSA: Do not update to a new firmware immediately (e.g. 6.0)

[KHEOPS]

Do you dream of playing online?
Chat on any game, bluetooth headset
Send messages?
Wallpaper? Netflix? And even more...
Nintendo has listened to you and that's why our best graphic designers have worked hard to offer you a fantastic toad image firmware 6.0,+ telemetry, ( the rest to come) subject to paid subscription....
Hs
Otherwise I agree enough that the bone switch image interface less than 300kb? Let's imagine a 1mo 720p wallpaper ('will it test all the games that access 100℅ from the ram) that can cause problems,( or does it have a maximum memory reserve in the bone?)
I can't criticize, the choice of a pure and fast interface since I got it back to microsoft lately, comparing my windows xp pro ( arcade cab umsa) and windows 10 startup is slower in 2018 ( with 30x more ram and processor > ram> xp...
Pathetic.

The only thing I care about is modding my saves for offline purposes.

I wonder if 6.0 will support my old nes controller...

Just gonna ask from those who did update to 6.0, did anything in the OP actually happen?

So, why shouldn’t Inupdate? I have SX 1.8. any reason now not to update?

You never know what Nintendo is up to these days.

layeredFS isn't working with sx os on firmware 6.0 so you can't launch devmenu via layeredFS...But I guess you could just install nsp version of devmenu instead.

Most of the rumors were heavily overexaggerated. There's no evidence for cart 3, all backups work perfectly fine, and nothing about fuses (except that no one tested if it does burn a fuse which it most likely does). Homebrew works perfectly fine, but the homebrew .NSP files don't quite work as well as the LayeredFS hack due to the kernel being updated for 6.0.

So just a case of Gary being Gary.

Hi guys. Has 6.0 launched in the US yet? I received my Jig today from Amazon and am very new to the Switch hacking scene and party. My Switch is on FW 5.1.0 I think, holding off on 6.0, but am afraid new games will require 6.0 (Mega Man 11 and Smash). Even though I have my Jig, am still debating if I should proceed with hacks or not. The only hacking I would be doing is save editing. Should I proceed with hacking? Should I update to 6.0 when it is released? I read on here that 6.0 possibly has ways to detect hacks and CFW... Thoughts and help on all of this GREATLY appreciated

Especially in homebrew and console hacking: NEWER IS NEVER BETTER.
Why does some of us update as soon as a FW is released ? There is NO benefit at all to run 6.0 right now, absolutely ZERO.
If things are fine, don't update. You always give the chance to close exploit ways by updating so just wait for incentives and safe way to update.

Sure there is, so they can come back here and whine how everything is broken and how they don't have a nand backup.

Did 6.0 already launched on an official manner? I tried to check updates with my non-hacked switch and it said it was already in the last version. (5.1)

Nope, it's not out just yet still.

Out of curiosity, if you are superbanned, can you launch an XCI (with a 6.0 firmware update included; which I am sure there will be some soon) in the future to update your Switch? *without using ChoiDujour

No...You can't update switch firmware with an XCI AFAIK.
