I am not sure which System Update I am on for the Switch, but I know it is the one that enabled mSD support. Now that 2.1.0 is out, is it safe to update and not miss out on potential future hacks? I am able to still launch games, but each time it nags me to update system. Thoughts on this appreciated :)

What hacks? Is been only a month of release. Listen, you gonna miss out on more than hacks, upgrades the system is missing that updates will add. So you want them, you gonna have to update. So far 2.1.0 supposed to fix the web browser exploit but it could potentially fix other issues people have with the system, so is up to you. Other wise you can be one of those people who buy two systems, and save one for hacks while play the other for legit.

When updates come and start adding who knows what, and if you want it you gonna have to make the choice. Though many people do try to get exploits for the most recent version of things (Wii u, 3ds, wii, psp,) is just a matter of how much people willing to do for it. So relying on others isn't the best option when it comes to exploits. Don't spend $300 for game console and not play it or cripple is usefulness by waiting for exploits that has no set future date. :teach:

    Last time I played a game was hmmm... can't exactly recall. :wacko:

    I can't believe you got me with that

    I haven't been gaming for such a long time. Been mostly busy with sleep, hardware tinkering and checking GBAtemp frequently.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    Hope you've had a good morning.
  • Maximumbeans @ Maximumbeans:
    It's going alright thanks :) I know what you mean with gaming time. It's precious where I can get it these days.

    I think that's why I focus on just enjoying single player experiences that aren't too competitive
  • Maximumbeans @ Maximumbeans:
    How are you doing?
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    There's also this thing where I'm hyperfocused at night and cannot get to sleep.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Maximumbeans, I'm doing alright, thanks.

    That must be rough. Productive I'm sure but hard to balance with daily life

  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Maximumbeans, Indeed. I've been working on getting this Infecutus chip to work on my PS2. But after soldering, I realised that a plastic piece was missing from the power ribbon cable to the power and eject buttons.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    Now I could go with soldering the contacts from the cable to the connector on the mobo, but doesn't sound like a good permanent solution.
  • Maximumbeans @ Maximumbeans:
    Man, that's beyond my brain :rofl: I'm no good with hardware for now. I'd like to get into hardmods in future though
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Maximumbeans, Maybe start practice soldering. Get a cheap-ass soldering iron and follow some good YouTube tutorials.

  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    Least my experience has gotten better than over a decade ago. My iron would constantly bump into components and break them.
  • Maximumbeans @ Maximumbeans:
    Sounds good. I actually did soldering but like 16 years ago for school so uuuuh probably rusty haha
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Maximumbeans, Same here. I did soldering at school from a teacher who I honestly liked since he had plenty of good electronics experience.

    @Maximumbeans, I had a friend who had a glass chess set for their birthday.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    It was like all clear and fancy. Tbf I'm not too experienced with chess, but would like to learn someday.
