Hacking UPDATE 4.0.0 RELEASED

[DocAmes1980]

And look how well the Gamecube sold compared to the weaker PS2 and Xbox back then. Power didn't help sales, so yeah. Anyways, I'm done here, this trivial discussion benefits neither of us. Gamecube slaughtered the PS2 in raw power, and yet only sold 1/5 of what the PS2 sold, hmm, intriguing!

Bad example. Nothing could really be competition for the PS2. It was a screaming deal since it could play DVDs as DVD players were pricey when the first came out. They got a huge install base. The Xbox and GC never stood a chance. It didn't help that Nintendo used 1.3 GB mini DVDs and the GC didn't have the value added feature of being a DVD player.

inb4 is 4.0.0 hackable ?

No such luck, it will be years, if ever. I don't see the value in waiting for a 3.0.0 + exploit, I'm jut going to update it tomorrow.

The video feature works like Shadow Play. It saves the past 30 seconds of gameplay. It doesn't record your actual current play. I hope nintendo adds a realtime recording with unlimited length in the future.

30 seconds is abysmal.

If we are in 3.0.2 should we update to 4.0.0 or not?

of course not

Right, complain instead of being happy about new features...

30s is decent, enough to capture a funny moment or something.

Go on reddit and check the top game clips - most of them will be 30s or less anyway.

Tbh, Switch homebrew just isn't worth it. The Switch is far more enjoyable without it.

You guys gotta agree with me on this, at least.

hell not,my baby still on 3.0.1 and the second one on 2.3.0 go and update your console yourself and have fun baby

It's not that I expect a tablet to be powerful. It's that I didn't expect Nintendo's new console to be a tablet.

You didn't expect Nintendo to do something different? Are you new to the gaming world or what? Your points are all opinions and will be treated as such. Considering that the console is objectively portable. You only finding use on the toilet is your case specific usage. So, yeah.

Storage speed is fine. It's also no secret that flash based storage is more expensive than mechanical. Not sure where you're heading with that one. I would hope they'd be smart enough to avoid a mechanical drive in this type of system for a plethora of reasons.

It's a $300 tablet with tablet specs. As stated above, not sure what you're expecting. If you feel you wasted money, you can easily recoup that. I do agree that the joycons need reworked. There's a mockup on a subreddit for "procons". What an interesting and unironic name.

No glass on the screen? Is that really worthy of a con? 9 times out of 10 you'd buy a screen protector (glass or otherwise) for the device.

No save backups just outright sucks. Especially in this day and age of cloud services. Sold my Switch, and now I've lost 500 hours of BotW.. So that's cool.

Online services are coming, but will more than likely suck in comparison to Xbox Live and PSN.

This update FINALLY gives us a way to migrate saves to a new system. Doesn't change the fact that there's no public method of backing saves up to use on a new console or later down the road.

Limiting it to only a handful of games doesn't help. No Sonic Mania support.

Give it time, it will most likely support all games in the future.

And what about people who do let's play videos? Unless they have an Elgato, capturing Switch footage isn't happening easily.

They use capture cards, they aren't that expensive.

Do PS4/XB1 have unlimited recording?

 

[DiscostewSM]

That 30 seconds is likely the buffer size dedicated to Switch recording that now gets dumped when requested. With that, they could technically allow larger length videos via streaming, either over a network or onto your microSD by tinkering with it.

Now I have a question. Because it saves the last 30 seconds of gameplay, it basically means the system is constantly recording and storing in a small section of RAM. So, what does this mean with regard to portable mode? Will it cut into battery life, or.........has the system been recording ever since launch, but only now exports that buffered footage, so battery life isn't affected? I want to say that screenshots take from this buffered data (hence why they don't exactly look pretty).

No, but longer than 30 seconds for sure. Even the Nvidia shield tablet can record for up to 4 GB per video on an SD card, nothing in the Switch hardware should prevent this. Capture cards are picky at best, require a PC and external monitor, which I neither have the space or money to afford, so yeah, not worth it.

Even 10 minutes tops would suffice.

Still not able to save my saves on a SDCard or in the cloud? *shakes head in disappointment*

I think there's actually a bright side of this update. The version match feature would let people update their game to a certain version offline. (e.g. BotW 1.3.0 got a useful glitch, but someone that's lower than 1.3.0 would be forced to update to 1.3.1 via eShop. Now people can actually update to 1.3.0 if there's a friend still with it?)

I think they intentionally force people to use their crappy cloud based "transfer". Look what people have done with those saves to exploit the system on 3DS.

I don't think its a good idea to hack this system systems are just going to get harder to hack

Then what are you doing in this forum?

This would likely push the firmware to the receiver if they didn't already have it.

 

[Souloibur]

Don't you think this update should have been 1.0?
