Don't worry.
If you update with Zelda I can be 100% sure it won't be 3.0.1
That is, of course, if you are planning on just putting the cartridge and not actually downloading any updates.
If that is, then yeah, you will get 3.0.1 :P

But i should update the game, right? surely they patched lot of things since launch (new thread:"should i update to play zelda...")

Yeah I didn't read the last part of your post.
I think BotW was one of those games with an update on release date.
Basically, if you don't have the release date update, the game won't boot.
So yeah, you will have to get online to update, and that would require updating the firmware first, sadly :/

Ok. Can somebody else confirm this??:

This is true on Wii U only. On Switch you can play without updating it. The latest update - the current available - adds the first DLC (Master Trial) but to play with it you have to buy it first

I udpated Wii U to 5.5.2 and I could load Mocha CFW.
I updated 3DS to 11.5.0 and I could load LumaCFW.
I updated PS3 to 4.81 and I could load CFW Rebug with downgrade with E3 Flasher.

Well, I updated to my Nintendo Switch and I will play to online (Splatoon2, arms etc) until the exploit for my version be released. The no-update maybe is more useful for people that dont have games and want the exploit for play it free without use money.

I will not update, I will hack my 2.1.0 Switch, I feel there are so many other games to play so there's really no need to hack it!
Emulators, PubG (I can't play this with my pc I think), Steam Games, Flash Games, EpicMafia, League of Legends, there is so much to play, not worth updating guys!


I still need to hack WIi U also

What other games are there, or will there be that will work on 2.1.0? I can't think of many.

oh, are you saying that games will stick to fw you are on ?
like the vita's case ?
where 3.60+ games will not work.

i did read that this might be happening with the switch hax .

Edit: sorry you meant the current released games, true not many will work.
i believe alot of the peeps here will be forced to update if they are eager to play MarioOdyssey.

but still, what i said above, could it happen on the switch ?
like with the vita where you cannot load titles above the exploited fw.

I didn't update Zelda either to take advantage of the "unlimited arrows" bug...although I've yet to see it work. I'm also waiting to update for Oddessy. I think the one game that could get me to update without thinking is Super Mario Maker but FW 3.0.1+ probably has a better chance of getting hacked than SMM coming to the Switch in the next 12 months.

I am still curious as to what FW they will ship Super Mario Odyssey with.
Most likely it's gonna be either 3.0.0 or 3.0.1, let the game begin...

  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    I'm not familiar with the technicalities of the differences between the two versions, but I'm wondering if at least some of those differences are things that you could port over to the US version in your patch without having to include copyrighted assets from the EU version
  • 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
    +1
  • 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
    +1
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    It's always worth a shot
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    @The Real Jdbye, I considered that, but i'll have to wait until i can get the eu version in the mail lol
  • I @ I-need-help-with-wup-wiiu:
    i need help with nusspli failed downloads, can someone respond to my thread? pretty please:wub:
