A new Nintendo Switch firmware has arrived. System software version 17.0.0 is now available to download. According to the official patch notes, there's not much of substance to the update, despite its new milestone version number; it's simply the traditional stability updates. It does, however, patch Atmosphere, with the CFW not working on the latest OFW. SciresM is currently working on support for 17.0.0, though a new update may be slightly delayed.

I'll be working to get Atmosphere updated for 17.0.0 as soon as I can.

This may be a little sketchy/touch-and-go -- I'm traveling this weekend without access to my normal PC. https://t.co/nOt31dlOcQ

So keep your console away from the cat of the neighbor's niece

you need it for future games

Uh, now I wonder... would it even be possible to "hack/mod" games that require a specific firmware updates to work on a previous one?
Now, I got no clue what exactly's added/changed in a firmware update, aside guess craptendo futilely trying to patch switch exploits and the like. If all it ends up be is like the game just checking if the console is at a specific firmware to boot, wonder if that could be like spoofed somehow, how hard or easy it would be, if possible at all.

i guess it would be possible, but who would do it?
For real, I ask you, who would do it? You can just update FW and atmosphere and get the same result, for much less effort.
So why would someone do it? Because you would need to mod every game that requires this FW update.
I get the "Dont give Nintendo the satisfaction of downloading their update" thing, but why doing things complicated when you can do it the easy way? Someone will make a patch for all games at once in few hours, so why would you make a patch for every games that need the update?
Come on...

They are even showing off "Switch 2" demos behind the scenes, so I'll be surprise if there any significant updates for the users. Can't believe we didn't get anymore themes.

Yeah, I'm just sarcastic at Big N, lol.

Switch firmware brought to you by Pfizer.

Nintendo bought millions of Zoloft and distribute it to all depressed gamers.

1991 poster with very, very HAPPY boy playing SNES games after took Zoloft, and of course, SNES and Zoloft launched at same time in 1991, lol.

Guys, I just realised, SciresM is away and doesn't have acces to his PC to update atmosphere, and Nintendo launches a new update. Coincidence??????

If I put my console on the table it do not tilt, si I don't know how it could get more stability!

its for people who would like to do this

True, but Atmo will probably be updated before it's leaked anyway. Wonder probably won't require 17.0 either.

I replied to that tweet just now suggesting he sync his development environment and files to a laptop. Hope he doesn't take it the wrong way, because I added a winky face.

 

[AkiraKurusu]

Why does Nintendo even freaking bother patching Atmo? Scires is always gonna catch up soon enough.

 

[DarkCoffe64]

Guess whoever feels like it, dunno, lol.
Was more just wondering than anything else, just curiosity. shrug

It can be done with NSP Editors or some title installers but if the game does indeed uses modules or services only excitement or with features not invited on old firmware the game could not work

Bad word update: No more “thot” lol

 

[ELY_M]

Do we know what server address for their update files?
We need to know exact server address so we can block the damned updates.

I refuse to buy their switch 2 till it is raped open.

 

[Purple_Shyguy]

The most stablist update yet. So stable.

 

[Ravenhide23]

I just love how Nintendo told me I had to update in order to launch any of my games, then promptly updates my console to 17.0 and preventing me from accessing Atmosphere. I'm assuming that the reason I'm getting a Fusee fatal error unable to locate warmboot is because Atmosphere is currently not supporting 17.0. Its times like this that make me glad I'm running a modchip, as swapping between CFW and OFW is as simple as rebooting.

 

[Sir Tortoise]

my brother's dog accidentally updated my switch and now my switch is bricked???? how?????

 

[jerry2256]

Mario wonder leaks tomorrow, YHIHF!

Really , that's a very big news , O YA.

 

[Memfis]

I want to say Thank You, to SciresM for his work. I have extremely respect, to stay on the project over years and fighting against windmills.

 

[MightySashiman]

FW 17 is so stable Nintendo is trolling semiconductor research and their lame quest for room temperature magnetic locking.
