Hacking [List] Games required Firmware version

[Deathscreton]

So I'm trying to get the Switch to stop asking if I want to update when I start a game, but the instructions on the first page didn't work. Has anyone else had these problems?

EDIT: Nevermind. User Boa posted this:

Hello

I just went into the recovery mode (without selecting any option), then use the power button to turn off the console, then turn it on into the "standard" mode and no more boring nag update message !
I don't know if i got luck or if this method work for everyone, I just wanted to share this little find.

Sorry about my bad english

Worked for me!

Celeste is pretty much 4.1.0 required due to being an eshop title. Great game by the way for those on 4.1.0

Does anyone knows if this release list http://nswdb.com is trustworthy?
It has a couple of differences with our list, e.g. Tiny Barbarian DX is listed as 2.3.0

I can confirm that it asks for update on my 2.2.0 Switch. But that's all I know.
If it's true, I would gladly update to 2.3.0 just to be able to play 1 more game on my Switch.

As far as I know (can’t confirm it now while I only have One on 3.0.0 and 4.1.0) this is as it was back then.

Does need Snipper Clips PLUS Cartridge Version 000 to update FW 3.0.1, I'm right?

You are right!

I compiled a list using the nswdb.com release database. I listed only the games that are missing on gbatemp's list, and also the ones that have a different firmware requirement (those with * before their names).

Spoiler

1.0.0

Dragon Quest Heroes I・II for Nintendo Switch (Japan)
* Minecraft: Story Mode - The Complete Adventure
Minna de Waiwai! Spelunker (Japan)
Seiken Densetsu Collection (Japan)
* Troll and I

2.1.0

88 Heroes: 98 Heroes Edition
One Piece Unlimited World Red - Deluxe Edition
R.B.I. Baseball 2017 (USA)
Soldam: Drop, Connect, Erase (USA)

2.3.0

* Sonic Forces (USA)
* Tiny Barbarian DX (USA)

3.0.1

Cartoon Network: Battle Crashers (Europe)
Gear.Club Unlimited
* Ittle Dew 2+ (USA)
* L.A. Noire
Lets Sing 2018 (Europe)
Lumo
Nights of Azure 2: Bride of the New Moon
Rime
* Rocket League
Sengoku Musou Sanada Maru (Japan)
SUPERBEAT: XONiC (USA)
Wonder Boy: The Dragons Trap (Asia)

Maybe this list could be useful to reconfirm some of the games.

That could be added to B4rtj4h's "Games required Firmware" thread. (if they aren't already)
For all the cartridge revisions I have a thread listing all (to me) known revisions.
So ppl only need to use the search function

I will compare this when I am at home and fill them in!

EDIT: What was missing I filled in. What I had different and what I tested myself I let out... Troll and I is definitely NOT 1.0.0!

Great job maintaining the list and preventing accidental updates!

Yeah, I found it weird they listed Troll and I as 1.0.0.

Hi, any news about the minimum firmware required for Portal Knights (the physical copy just came out today)?

 

[dyerseve]

Anyone know about Dragon Quest Builders min firmware? I'd be willing to bet it's sub 3.0 but wanted to check before I attempt to launch it.

Check the launch date of the game kart and system version available at that time. If it was close, game could be version-1.

That's why I asked, it was released yesterday. nswdb doesn't seem to have it yet, I'm very patient so i can wait but my wife isn't so patient. lol

If it was released yesterday it would need newest firmware.

Does not work on 3.0.0. Works on 4.1.0. Tested today with secondhand cartridge. Serial on cartridge version 000.

My guess is around 4.0.0. But can not confirm.
