Nintendo Switch firmware update 12.0.0 available for download

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.

There’s currently 64 that they check, and there’s an additional 32 they could start checking if they wanted.
They don’t have anything to worry about.
Interesting... I did hear 64 mentioned on a github comment, but here is where I found the 32 fuses explained. Is there somewhere I can read better information on this?

pk1ldr checks both FUSE_RESERVED_ODM6 and FUSE_RESERVED_ODM7, each consist of 32 bits, so a total of 64.
There's also FUSE_RESERVED_ODM5, which is currently completely unused and also consists of 32 bits, so if they were to start checking that, the total would be brought up to 96.

Yes, but oddly nothing in the interface seems to have changed to reflect this added support, i.e. there's no "pair a headset" option anywhere. I have no idea why they included audio support in their Bluetooth driver but didn't add a way for us to actually use it yet. It's a riddle, wrapped in a mystery, inside an enigma.

I am wondering what kind of codecs the Switch would be able to handle for Bluetooth? I kinda have my doubts that it's going to be aptx-ll or anything better than SBC.

Well, it's an indication that the hardware supports it and they're at least aware of the possibility of adding bluetooth headset support to HOS, plus if the official coders at Nintendo don't use the new driver's capabilities for anything, maybe in due time someone will create a sysmodule for bluetooth audio support in CFW. It looks like Big N is just being a naughty little tease for now, but I still say it's good news.

    Going to the water park, see ya
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    You should update the 360 to newest dash before RGHing it yes. But not a big deal if you don't, you can install new dash/avatar updates after. It's just easier to do it auto online before, instead manual offline after.
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Have fun @Xdqwerty. If you see a chocolate candy bar floating in the water, don't eat it!

    @BigOnYa I wanted to ask you about your experience with seeing south park. Most of the people a bit younger like my younger brother and cousins that are a few younger than me that saw kids found south park funny because of the curse words, kids at school, that seemed like liking the show on a very basic level.

    I could not quite have a in depth discussion of the show.

    How was it for you? As an adult. What did you find the most interesting part about it. Did you relate to the parents of the kids and their situations. Was it satires, the commentary on society. The references on celebrities' and pop culture.
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I remember seeing the very first episode back in the day, and have watched every episode since. I used to set my VCR to record them even, shows how long ago.
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I just like any comedies really, and cartoons have always been a favorite of mine. Family guy, American Dad, Futurama, Cleveland Show, Simpsons - I like them all.
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    South Park is great cause they always touch on relavent issues going on today, and make something funny out of it.
