It's that time again! Nintendo has just released a new update for the Nintendo Switch. Firmware 8.0.0 is available to download, and there's actual new features alongside our beloved stability. Switch users can now sort software on the home menu by amount of playtime, most recently played, title, and publisher. For the avatar fanatics among us, there are 15 new profile pictures to choose from for your account. Most notably among the additions that version 8.0.0 brings is the ability to transfer individual save files to another Nintendo Switch console. On the homebrew front, you'll likely want to skip out on this update, as it patches Deja Vu, and other major exploits.

Improvements Included in Version 8.0.0 (Distributed 04/15/2019)
Added the following system functionality:

• A Sort Software feature is available after selecting to view All Software from the HOME Menu

noob mistake

Unfortunately, we all make noob mistakes sometimes.

Take for example the case of a certain developer building nightly versions of homebrew. One of these homebrew unceremoniously crashes, and the developer is in a rush to restart it and unwittingly pushes a certain button by accident, because it is selected by default.

Said developer is very upset about the pure tedium of the downgrade process. Heh.

On that point, why is it that Choidujoir doesn't support the newest keyslot? Was Raj too lazy to fix it or something?

I think AMS devs will name the next exploit "eight"

I updated to 8.0 and now SX doesnt work help

It's a joke right?

 

[mikifantastik98]

YEssS !!!

 

[hippy dave]

Is proper browser not going to happen on ofw?

No, a browser is basically a big sack full of security holes, at least from Nintendo's perspective, so they're not keen.

 

[Robika]

Inb4 "Atmos/SXOS doesn't work!"

But emunand is still functional right?

 

[wurstpistole]

It's a joke right?

Would I ever joke about such an easy to make mistake

 

[leon315]

Thank God I can sort by publisher now. It means I won't accidentally select one of these games now ;O;

Spoiler

An amusing side note to this is how irritatingly inconsistent some publishers are with their names. Even Ubisoft are down as both Ubisoft and UbiSoft depending on the game.

dude, what game is that ''Mario in knight armour and sword" and the one on left of "Grab bottle"?

ops

 

[Subtle Demise]

Don't fuckin' update if you want fuckin' hax. Seriously don't fuckin' update if your Switch is ipatched. G'night.

I updated my ipatched unit. The difference is that I planned on going legit from the beginning, and won't conplain in the rare chance that an exploit ever releases.

Those games would be Sigi - A Fart for Melusina, and the other is Energy Invasion. Haven't actually played Sigi but Energy Invasion is a mediocre Unity game at best and they're both published by Sometimes You, a company I have zero faith in, so just be wary lol

rookie mistake

 

[wiewiec]

Good to have option to share saves between consoles, but Nintendo always stays agaist what users wanna have... games sorting great, but save backup to sd - not so fast :/

 

[KHANV1CT]

There's no consistent standard for version naming. The most popularly used standard is probably semantic versioning (https://semver.org) but devs are free to do whatever they want Some increase the major version over set time periods (Firefox and Chrome) while some align them to the year and month (Ubuntu and Windows) while yet others stay in low versions forever, or follow a standard.
Nintendos versioning has always been odd, but in the end its up to them why they choose.

Cool, I didn't know there were people out there developing version standards.

 

[Something whatever]

Still no themes and folders -_- CFW way ahead
Not impressed. Takes them years to add functions that should have been there upon release. plus its mostly to block CFW as much as they can anyway
