A new update has been detected! Nintendo has just put out a system software update for the Nintendo Switch, which brings the console up to official firmware version 12.0.0. This time around, we have an actual reason as to what this update entails: a “rare” save backup error had been resolved. The changelog mentions nothing else, despite it being an update from 11.0.1 to 12.0.0. If you haven’t already learned by now, don’t update your hacked systems until you have the all-clear from established scene hackers.

Ver. 12.0.0 (Released April 5, 2021)
We fixed the issue with the save data backup feature, where in rare cases, the automatic backup of save data is interrupted if a communication error occurs during completion of the save data backup process.

A major version bump for a minor bug fix, must be a lot more stability under the hood.

That's a big jump for a teeny update

Stability intensifies

Come on! Let your dim witted brothers update!

That was worth 9 digits?

This version has SXOS included, right?

It does not look minor under the hood, per ninupdates.

My wife's cousin's dog's vet already updated my Switch.

Pretty important update though, to not fuck over our synced saves.

Bro, that’s a hardcore miss. You’re gonna need to extract your bootstrap into your ram. That may require you to enlarge admin rights. Go get your tagID and report the log here for further instruction.

Here comes all the "i accidentally updated" posts.

Ok I'm downloading more RAM first so it will fit.

Now to wait and see what's actually under the hood of this update.

"One small step for update; one huge leap for updatekind!"

 

[NumberXIIIEdwin]

Can I just have like more theme options please? Maybe let me set my own backgrounds?? Nintendo I’m BEGGING you

 

[MasterJ360]

This is where downgrading games to work on 11.0 ends- hence the latest smash bros does not work this way... and probably the confirm death of sxos support if no response.

 

[MeAndHax]

Do we know what else it does under the hood already?

 

[LeyendaV]

Will SX make a triumphant return from withing the shadows? Or will we bury them once and for all? That's the only exciting thing about this update.

I've finally decided my patched switch ain't being updated
