Hacking [List] Games required Firmware version

[leon315]

Anyone know what FW is required for Xenoblade Chronicle 2??

I can confirm that Tiny Barbarian DX doesn't work on 2.2.0. Does anyone knows if it works on 3.0.0?

Axiom Verge cartridge works fine on 3.0.1

Did you have to update to 3.0.1 to play it?
Maybe it works on 3.0.0

Need update! Just bought Rayman Legends can run normally at my Switch version is 2.2.0.

Thanks for confirming!
So Rayman Legends is one of those <3.0.0 games, good to know
That leaves only Lego Worlds and Minecraft to be confirmed as to what version they come with.

I'm running a Mario Odyssey cartridge on 2.3. There seems to be no on-cart forced update for me like some people have mentioned. Maybe I got an earlier version of the cart or something?

Do you have the Switch connected to any internet network?
A pic of proof would help

Ah, the console has been offline since I put the game in for the first time. Is being online a requirement for this list? Also, I can post proof, but what's the best way to do so with a picture?

Hi. I'm on 3.0.0 I'm planning to buy the Zelda explorers edition. I read from a reply on this post that a Zelda game cart updated his system to 3.0.1. Anyone here tried Zelda explorers cart if it works on 3.0.0? Thank you

From what I've gathered, if you don't setup your Switch to an internet connection, you can bypass the required update for certain games, though Im not sure which ones.

One clear example of this is Doom.
You can run Doom without the 7.7GB update if you dont have an internet connection setup on the consome.

Very strange things that I read here... some I really don't buy a 100%.
Doom does not run on a Switch lower then 4.0.0.
Zelda does run (unpatched/ not updated) on any version of the switch. However: when you install a update that also means you install the check to require at least 3.0.1.

I tried Sonic Forces today on my 3.0.0 out of the box switch and it is working. My unit was never online since unboxing.

Also tried Doom, fire emblem, just dance 2018, all requiring update.

Xenoblade 2's the game breaker for me. Hopefully it doesn't require certain FW versions - I'd get the cart version just for homebrew.

Just bought BOTW it needs 3.0.1 to run

Please elaborate. What version did you buy?

Today I also bought a physical copy of Zelda BOTW together with a Switch, it had fw 3.0.0 and when I inserted the game a message appeared saying that I must do an update before play (didn't do it so don't know what version it needed to run).

Damn Nintendo and their damn underground forces trying to make us buy an updated version of BotW.

 

[zoogie]

Wasn't that for the Switch only?

I think so.

 

[ShadowOne333]

I think so.

Sorry, got confused.
Read my post again

Nop, it was the plain standard edition but European. (Seems I can't post links or images to show the cover)
