Hacking Question Nintendo Switch on 2.0.0 without SD-update

[Radlust]

You guys reckon we need this for the future homebrew-exploit?

If so, I'm wondering if this is a separate download, or if I update, I'll end up on the latest firmware aswell?

I suppose that you're talking about the update to install the exFAT driver to use sdxc cards for switch and as far as I know, it comes with with the latest firmware updates. a pair of a set.

No. Why is everyone talking about homebrew. No. No. Just no.

Nothing has been released, and I wouldn’t expect anything big in the near future.

Can't wait for a dev to release something just to spite your ass.

Yeah. Have fun waiting a year or two. And if, it will probably be homebrew on 5.0.0 or so

we don't know what entrypoint(s) will require what, as of right now the browser is disabled in 1.0.0 as is SDXC card reading, what i'm doing (with my 1.0.0 switch) is just keeping it in my closet and purchasing a gamecart of arms or spla2n (or whatever has a 2.x FW on it) and waiting

Somebody is trying to pretend like they don't regret updating.

There should be a sticky post warning anyone who is on a low sodium diet to view the Switch discussions sparingly.

I agree. Im going to keep updating. When the time comes that there is homebrew ill get a second switch for it if i really want to mess with it. There will be future exploits.

If you wait till the future you won't be able to get a switch with 3.0 or lower firmware for homebrew if it is locked to 3.0 at first (which it likely will be).

 

[dontay0100]

I wouldn't wait too long.. all switches in the market are update from 2.0 - 2.3.. won't be long before its higher than 3.0

Are you sure the magnet being used is strong enough and in the right location? If it is booting then that means the lid sensor isn't being triggered (except for n3ds xl). Unsure if the n3ds xl exception also affects the n3ds (if the power button is accessible with the lid closed it will power on with the lid closed).
The likely chance is that either the magnet is not strong enough, not in the right spot or both of those.

Wrong thread

Lol wtf I was typing in another thread and I left and I guess I changed threads but tapatalk kept my previous text. I'm genuinely confused how this happened because I wasn't even originally quoting who I quoted.

So, if you buy a new switch now, will it have the sd card update?

Not out of the box no.

 

[kevman323]

So what is the situation for SD cards?

1. You need the update to use any SD cards.
2. You need the update only to use SD cards over a certain size. (64GB?)
3. You need the update only to Format SD cards.

I haven't seen a concise answer on this issue. If the reality is option 1, a lot of people might be screwed in the future.

Your assumptions are so ignorant.

The Nintendo Switch supports microsdhc out of the box. So microsd cards 4GB-32GB will work. Presumably cards <4GB should work as the microsdhc standard is backwards compatible, kind of like how USB 1.x devices still work on USB 3.x.

Regarding microsdxc support (cards >32GB), the Switch needs a special update to add microsdxc support to the console.

Keep it on 2.00 or update to at most 3.0 if that is possible. There is a publicly known exploit for firmware 3.0 and below. Nothing has been made for it yet but SMHax for the switch is real and it does give pretty much complete control of the system. Was fixed in 3.01 and on though so if you update kiss any hope of a full blown jailbreak goodbye at least until some other exploit surfaces.
