Nintendo Switch firmware 18.0.0 has been released

switchhhh.png

It's the first Nintendo Switch firmware update of 2024. Made available as of today is system software version 18.0.0, marking a new milestone. According to the patch notes, not much is brought to the table in this update, which features a new timer option for auto-sleep, and Korean as a supported language for the Nintendo Switch Parental Controls video. Under the hood, however, it looks there there's some substance, as it has broken support for Atmosphere. SciresM says that it'll take a few days to get around to, but expect to see a new Atmosphere update that supports version 18.0.0 in the near future.

Ver. 18.0.0 (Released March 25, 2024)​

  • Added “15 Minutes” as an option for “Auto-sleep when playing on TV” in Sleep Mode Settings.
  • Added Korean as a supported language for “Nintendo Switch Parental Controls” introductory video.
    • When the console language is set to Korean, the video can be accessed from Settings > Parental Controls.
  • General system stability improvements to enhance the user's experience.

I got a question, How can you downgrade a EmuNAND or even a SysNAND from firmware 18.0.0 to 17.0.1 if nobody have the new set of keys? you need the keys to read the new (Emu)NAND.

Or Am I mixing two different concepts?

Just tried emummchacgen and it can't read the NCA, are you thinking they changed the key dumping to make it harder to get em for Yuzu?

Wait, I tried with a new firmware download, and that worked.

The better answer is to restore a NAND backup actually.

You were able to downgrade FW back to 17 with emmchaccgen? Please explain what you did exactly.
edit- Guess they didn't want to explain, or just full of it!

That isn't what he meant, he meant what SciresM provide doesn't enable piracy since he never included the signature patches.

As for Suyu of course they will go after emulator to stop people from running switch games on emulator. Same reason for Nintendo going after lockpick and sig patches.
