but you can update with only the cart without going online correct? so there is a theoretical possibility to get to a vulnerable version in the future by updating through the right game?
IE your on lets say 2.0 . vulnerable is version 3.0, current version is 9.73. on arms or whatever there is update 3.0 on the cart -> use the game to get to the right version


Yes you can use a cart to go upwards.

This seems to be a question that was not very well thought out. What do you think the intent of having an update on the cart is? Obviously you can update without going online.

Sorry about the bad english.
I wasnt sure that there was confirmed updates on carts yet, i just read that you need to be on 3.0 to play arms i think it was. and i wasnt sure if they added the complete update on the cart or they just added the information that the console needs to be at least on firmware 3.0 on the cart (update your console to play this game message).

No worries, I'm not sure if the "complete" update is on the cart or not, it may be missing the updated web browser, for instance. But the update will give you what you need to play the game.

Hey everyone,

i got a Switch witch 2.X.X should i update now? Today the Version is 3.0.1. Is this in the future possible to get a homebrew?

No, don't update it. You will have to go to 3.0.1, which is no good for eventual homebrew.

Newbie user here. I'm planning to get a Switch by December of this year along with other stuff. How is 3.0.1 not good for eventual homebrew, at least for most of the forsee-able future?

It rebuilt all the apps which means the dumped console keys are no longer valid. The warning really only applies to devs, though, because once they develop and release an exploit a method for dumping keys will likely go public

I managed to get me the mk8 deluxe files. The .szs files contain the .bfres file as the WiiU version, but the tools can't open them.:unsure:

They're actually a bit different compared to Wii U's BFRES. Also don't forget that all files are byteswapped to little endian now.

Quietly? What are you talking about? We are already running backups on 3.01, just update and use browserswitchhax to get homebrew but be careful since Nintendo is banning people who modify their system, so you are doing it on your own risk

  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    @Sicklyboy I am wanting to fully change the game and bend it to my will lol. I would like to eventually have the ability to add more characters, enemies, even have a completely different story if i wanted. I already have the ability to change the tilemaps in the US version, so I can basically make my own map and warp to it in game - so I'm pretty far into it!
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I really would like to make a hack that I would enjoy playing, and maybe other people would too. swapping to the EU version would also mean my US friends could not legally play it
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I am definitely considering porting over some of the EU features without using the actual ROM itself, tbh that would probably be the best way to go about it... but i'm sad that the voice acting is so.... not good on the US version. May not be a way around that though
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I appreciate the insight!
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @TwoSpikedHands just switch, all the knowledge you learned still applies and most of the code and assets should be the same anyway
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    and realistically they wouldn't

    be able to play it legally anyway since they need a ROM and they probably don't have the means to dump it themselves
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    why the shit does the shitbox randomly insert newlines in my messages
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It does that when I edit a post.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It inserts a newline in a random spot.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    never had that i don't think
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    do y'all think having an sd card that has a write speed of 700kb/s is a bad idea?
    trying to restore emunand rn but it's taking ages... (also when I finished the first time hekate decided to delete all my fucking files :wacko:)
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @Karma177 that sd card is 100% faulty so yes, its a bad idea
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    even the slowest non-sdhc sd cards are a few MB/s
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    @The Real Jdbye it hasn't given me any error trying to write things on it so I don't really think it's faulty (pasted 40/50gb+ folders and no write errors)
  • DinohScene @ DinohScene:
    run h2testw on it

  • DinohScene @ DinohScene:
    when SD cards/microSD write speeds drop below a meg a sec, they're usually on the verge of dying

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Samsung SD format can sometimes fix them too
  • Purple_Heart @ Purple_Heart:
    yes looks like an faulty sd
  • Purple_Heart @ Purple_Heart:
    @Psionic Roshambo i may try that with my dead sd cards

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    It's always worth a shot

    @The Real Jdbye, I considered that, but i'll have to wait until i can get the eu version in the mail lol
