Hacking PSA: Stop downgrading unless you know what you're doing!

[Draxzelex]

But muh online play

You mean the $20 you feel obligated to give to Nintendo? Just spend it on something useful like StargateNX or SX OS.

I doubt these threads will stop anytime soon.
I suspect most of these "accidental" updates are second hand Switch buyers who of course don't have "any" backups.
Then again there is even a suggestion system when creating new topics about existing ones. Will this deter new repeated threads? Apparently no.

Nice meme

Also I bought Switch online pretty much immediately after I was able to use Atmosphere on 6.0.0

Developers need to find a way to downgrade for real not just to put a "bandit" on top of the real problem.

People will try the present solution and they will f.up that's normal.

Totally agree with the above but nobody will take notice. And besides nobody on the temp ever bricks their consoles it's always a brother/cousin/friend ect ect that does dumb shit.

Yeah my cousin’s dad’s dog’s lizard updated my switch plz help?/s

Still hoping to see your Switch Noob Hacking Guide some day, Kafluke. Your Wii U guide was the best, and I'm sure you would do a good job on a Switch guide too. I probably wouldn't learn that much from it myself, but it would be so beneficial to the whole community. And gbatemp needs an in-house guide.

Apparently for the Wii U version, it was possible to inject levels into your save file so I can only imagine a similar tool will be made for people who don't want to connect the console to the Internet, let alone own the game.

the whole online system in mariomaker with the stars as a rating from other users for my levels is addictive and just fun. it is not just the lvls to play from which the fun emerges ...
if you want to upload more levels you need more stars you need to make better levels and stay active that other people see you and more play your levels
it's not a real alternative to play it offline


its funny sometimes to makes levels no one can beat but i have to beat it before i can upload it to the server you see people dont get it in 100000 trys

But if iirc, there are already downgrades to 6.1 from 7.0.0 due to armosphere avoiding fuse count and not using new tsec stuff

Yeah, as I said in the OP you can still downgrade but you'll have to always boot to RCM and launch a custom payload from that point on.

 

[Adran_Marit]

Quick question: Do the boot0 and boot1 files change after an upgrade or do they always stay the same?

They change, they are firmware specific per version, not to mention have unique data in it

Yep. My "brother/cousin/friend" just dropped a box of Hakko soldering iron elements on the floor and cracked every single one of them.

This is shaping up to be a very pretty day...

[mattytrog]

Well fuck it. Now todays rework is out the window, may as well work on Simple-UF2

 

[Manurocker95]

No need to downgrade anymore <3

 

[Kafluke]

No need to downgrade anymore <3

People were still screwing up before 7.x

backup nand boot0/1&sys. it cost only 15mins but can fix lots of issures with firmware's.
