Hacking New Switch Stock has transitioned to 3.0.0, 3.0.1 default will soon follow.

[V-Temp]

This is a heads up as per some newer references on people picking up new Switches, they are starting to show up as 3.0.0 on boot. Cartridges of new games have already reached 3.0.0 mandatory firmware to run, Odyssey carts are unlikely to boot in 3.0.0.

I highlight this as a new thread as it strongly suggests that come Odyssey and its bundle next month, which will be stock that should roughly now be reaching finalization and shipping cargos, is very likely to arrive with 3.0.1, or even 3.0.2, on boot. Broader stock will take time to filter out of the retail channels and the default Gray or Blue/Red Sets will remain 3.0.0 or less for some time but towards the end of October you are likely going to start playing Russian Roulette with your purchase of a Switch. Demand remains high in the North American/Japanese markets as well as others, so retail churn will be fast.

The timetable for picking up a Switch for potential homebrew access is dwindling.

In the public's eye.

But, damn. I wanted to get a Mario Odyssey one.

So a 3.0 console is safe?

 

[Deleted-355425]

I bet Mario oddesy will be 3.0.0, they usually take months and months to stock pile consoles for sale. But with it being a download code with the bundle it wont much matter as you will need latest firmware to access the download server.

MOD will deff be 3.0.0 the latest games never have the absolute latest FW on them been like that since the wii

These are from months ago.

Odyssey is a month from now, at longest the stockpile started last month. That's already post-3.0.1.

That is presuming that smhax is the entirety of the homebrew scene of the switch lol , and that is a mighty big presumption.

Another pointless, fact-less, stupid assumption thread.

Move along, nothing to see here.

 

[yardie]

3.0.1 to follow

[senas8]

On one hand we have some people saying why the he’ll didn’t you tell us 3.01+ is shipping..or don’t update passed 3.0 on the other hand we have people saying no shit Sherlock.. can’t win.

We have new comers and this helps them.. not everyone but some .. so thank you OP.

Factless? Have you not seen the Switch Firmware thread? I bought a Switch last month and it was on 3.0.0.

 

[alepman90]

my bet FIFA will be the first game to ship with 3.0.1

Looks like they're going to try and choke out known exploits early.

Its not the people don't listen, its just probably that homebrew may not be that big a deal to them in the closer future. You want to emulate games on a console? You can buy 30 nintendo Wii for 1 switch.
Don't get me wrong I'm excited for a homebrew scene, but if their are awesome games to play I can wait for the future and will upgrade. I am of the opinion some other exploit will come again within the life span of the switch. Read the poll being done on the Topic---,"What will you do when nothing happens" and you will notice close to half the people will update the minute they get their dream game, and it is also the vast majority vote. I can't say I blame them, as a console is bought to be used . Buying a second switch is an option, but not everyone wants to spend money on a 300$ closet warmer. Their are people that prepare worst case scenario, in which smhax is going to be the only exploit, or maybe they just want homebrew ASAP, I can understand this. However many people will also feel that in the case another exploit comes out sometime in the next 7years, or however long the switch future holds, its a 300$ trash can item. Again its all perspective as 300$ to some people means more than it does to others. The people that are most determined to have homebrew ASAP, will already have their consoles. I wouldn't be surprised if its a long wait before the emulation scene becomes available though.

it doesnt matter if it take 5 years,i will be ready for it and my spare switch too!!

 

[senas8]

I have 3 switches 2 on 2.3 .. one on 3.1 .. thinking to sale the 2.3.. I have a eBay account that I only used for buying stuff .. any takers ? I used it once to see what Firmware its on. It’s a red/blue joycons. I live in Seattle. It will be a fair price. Since I opened it. I’m also thinking to do Craigslist.. because I’d rather give it away locally ... But with a switch and Craigslist . Might be shady. I’d rather sale it to someone to a community like this or wololo or even neogaf... that I visit often .. I know some people might be looking for one 3.0>

I love you optimism !
Worst case scenario for me and I require a switch on 3.0 or under, I guess ill shop online for it. I really would love to see emulators and cool stuff on the switch in the nearby future. My biggest hope is that some other exploit gets found but doesn't get released right away. If something isn't released till a more stable firmware, it likely won't get patched until then. Once a CFW on a console is stabilised, people are much more inclined to work on it, with a greater gap between FW updates more people will jump on too, meaning a more rapid and productive homebrew scene. I've not yet updated, but if something comes out that is really tempting I will fold I think .
