It only works on switches that came with 1.0.0. You'll have to wait for the correct date or Homebrew/cfw on 3.0.2

are you sure? i heard it can be launched if you don't have update 4.0, nintendo removed it in that update.

Yes: http://switchbrew.org/index.php?title=Flog
When the system was never connected to the Internet and is on 1.0.0 it comes from the user-specified date instead. For newer systems, trying to load the network time if it was never set will result in an error: they won't ever be able to launch flog without a time-sync with Nintendo servers.

After 4.0.0 it can't be launched even on the correct date

Versions newer than 1.0 has the online timestamp from the factory which makes changing the date ineffective.

Right now you need a 3.0.0 switch and pegaswitch to run it, there's a file included in the usefulScripts directory of the repository that will allow you to set the time and date to the one needed for Flog. On 3.0.2 I think your only option at the moment would be to wait for the date. When cfw is released you should have the ability to set the date/time again.

No. It just gives an error instead of the user-defined time it did on 1.0.0

Not sure what you're talking about, going online sets the rtc of the system and saves it to a file, on consoles with updates, rtc has been set from the factory. (Probably as part of the update process)

Changing the date works, but the system knows it's not the legitimate date and thus doesn't let flog launch.

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    We all should have free health, dental, vision care, and make the college kids pay for the schooling, f that college forgiveness plan our govt doing now, its really not fair for all others in the past that had to pay for they're schooling anyways (like me, with 2 kids I paid to send to college in the past)

    I think we should outlaw healthcare entirely because the fact that people can get healthcare today is unfair to those in the past that couldn't

  • cearp @ cearp:
    @Sicklyboy - the comparison would be forgiving all medical debt, not making healthcare illegal!
  • cearp @ cearp:
    Although I still don't agree, medical debt is rarely a choice, whereas enrolling in university is certainly a choice

    we need more smart cats tho for reals
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    College costs, college loans, book prices, the entire thing is predatory, oft touted as essential to a successful life for my generation and the ones since, and completely unaffordable without putting you through an insane financial hardship for literal decades in many situations.
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    Many of the same issues can be seen for the insanely predatory healthcare and health insurance system in the US
  • mthrnite @ mthrnite:
    ^this
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    It's important for society to be healthy and educated. If those things can't happen because all of the institutions that prop up those industries make it unattainable for all but a small portion of society, then your society is largely going to be disease ridden, dying, and uneducated in very short order.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Issue is it's too rich of a coperation already with bad sugar diets causing diabetes and killing teeth a new set of teeth around 90k
  • cearp @ cearp:
    I agree it's not easy for the average American, let alone the ones below that average. Free / cheaper healthcare is much more important I think than free university education.
    Of course like @mthrnite said, why not both. But I doubt both will get solved at once, and surely healthcare is top priority.

    And if the concern is that "well we can't trust the government to intervene for this because the government can't do anything right and wastes tons of money" then holy shit push for a better government.
