Hacking FW 2.0 - should I update to 3.0?

[grubgrub]

Hi Eveyrone,

I have not used my switch in a while, its still on 2.0.
Seen the news today,
Are people updating to 3.0 or sticking to 2.0?

Thanks!!

I'll update since PegaSwitch will still work.
If you're on 2.0.0 and don't want to play physical games then stay, otherwise update.

Are you sure about that? Last FW I heard it was confirmed for is 2.3.0.

Confirmed now on 3.0 as well but since they jumped so far in revisions ... more may have changed under the hood. (They may have gone patch heavy which is why it went to 3.0).

PegaSwitch does work for both though so it's a matter of how they implement a jb and rolling the dice that the method works for 2.3 and 3.0.

Thanks! I guess I'll update then.

Our bugs for Switch 2.0-2.3 PegaSwitch work on 3.0. Feel free to update; Homebrew will be safe. (When the time comes) :) #reswitched

Just because some say update to 3.0, I would not jump the gun on this.

There maybe other flaws N patched with 2.0+ that are open with V2.00.

Basically, if you don't give a shit about online functions, stay on 2.00 a bit longer.

I'd update only if you need to. If you're playing people online ... cool, but I'd keep it on 2.3. If a golden fw comes out later it may be on a cart since Arms 2.1 updates was on the cart itself.

Thanks, mario kart still works online on 2.0 so i'll stay to that for now.

What did you buy your switch for?

• Enjoy the system and play games as they were conceived? (assured): UPDATE, you will get the latest features, performance and stability improvements, and support.
• Be able to use homebrew, cheats and/or piracy? (potential, not assured): DO NOT UPDATE EVER UNLESS SPECIFICALLY STATED.

Simple question: You want to Jailbreak your Switch ? No ? Then update!

So you can't play physical games if you aren't on the current firmware? But digital purchases will still work?

you can on 2.3 which is what i'm on.

Depends on the game, some newer games (IIRC ARMS does) come with 2.1 and require you to update to play.

Which was the reply to
"Switch update 3.0.0 fixes a known vulnerability in the NS sysmodule (originally found by @qlutoo in April):"

Of course it's the safest to stay as low as possible but don't feel too bad if you want to update for the new features or have done so already.

Edit: don't know how to quote twitter in a fancy matter.

Ok, so my Zelda game will be fine since I'm on 3.0. Say 3.1 comes out breaking pega, I could just turn off all internet and I could still play without any problems. It's just like the 3ds where some games come with an update on the card and require that firmware. Got it. Thanks
