Does anybody know which firware version is needed to play Cuphead on the switch? I tried installing it trough Tinfoil but got an error. My switch is currently on firmware 6.2.0.

but both supposedly work with goldleafs ignore firmware install (not sure if tinfoil does)

Thanks for the quick answers! I checked again and the problem was the update which I tried to install simultaneously with the game NSP

definitely works when installed with goldleaf ignoring firmware

edit: but didn't work installing with tinfoil ignoring firmware. just gave me the 'couldn't connect to the internet' message, i assume it wanted to get the 8 update

On 7.0.1 Atmosphere 0.86 doing USB install from Goldleaf 0.5 and Goldtree. Both base and update install fine w/ignore firmware. With just base the game prompts you to download a required update. With the update it just freezes the system for me on the Switch logo after starting to load.

Base game works fine on atmos 8.6.0 with 7.0.1 fw when not ignoring fw. I am afraid to update the game since someone mentioned it requiring 8.0.0. Does anyone know what the update does?

Not sure what the update does but don't worry, it doesn't require 8.0.0. I installed both base and update just fine on 7.0.1 (w/ atmos 8.7 through the kosmos package)

Source for the 8.0 bit?

Did you choose to ignore fw when installing?

many people reporting that they couldn't get the game to start after updating i guess.
when i installed with tinfoil, it wanted to go online and declining wouldn't start it. so i guess it generally wants higher than 7.0.1.

ignoring seems to work, but only through goldleaf.

Base game uses the masterkey for 6.x (6.2 I think) - you could try re-encrypting it, but it still might not work if it needs higher sdk.

New games generally won't run on 5.x from now on, why not update without burning fuses?

I am on 6.0 and would like to update - but after reading several horror stories from this forum about Switches that don't start after updating offline etc, I am a bit wary about updating. I don't want to lose my installed games and saves, and don't want to brick my Switch..

    I will admit that one does seem more interesting than the usual Ambernic ones, and I already liked those.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    I dread the price point.

    This looks like one of their premium models, so... $150 :glare:

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    To me that seems reasonable.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I mean since basically all the games are errmmm free lol
  • Veho @ Veho:
    I mean yeah sure but the specs are the same as a $50 model, it's just those pesky "quality of life" things driving up the price, like an actually working speaker, or buttons that don't melt, and stuff like that.

    I think all in my Pi 4 was well north of 200 bucks 150ish for the Pi 4 the case the fancy cooler, then like 70 for the 500GB MicroSD then like 70 for the Xbox controller. But honestly it's a nice set up I really enjoy and to me was worth every penny. (even bought more controllers for 2 or 4 player games.) hmmm have never played any 2 player games yet :(
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Yeah that's what I hate about the RPi, it's supposedly $30 or something but it takes an additional $200 of accessories to actually turn it into a working something.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    yes that's the expensive part lol
  • Veho @ Veho:
    I mean sure it's flexible and stuff but so is uremum but it's fiddly.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Yeah a lot of it I consider a hobby, using Batocera I am constantly adjusting the collection adding and removing stuff, scraping the artwork. Haven't even started on some music for the theme... Also way down the road I am considering attempting to do a WiiFlow knock off lol
  • Veho @ Veho:
    I want everything served on a plate plz ktnx, "work" is too much work for me.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Hmm, with that in mind, maybe a complete out-the-box solution with all the games collected, pacthed and optimized for me would be worth $150 :unsure:
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Yeah it's all choice and that's a good thing :)
