Running newer games on SX OS

[Kevin Beam]

Is there a way to bypass newer games on the Switch running older firmware? Does DBI do this? Thanks

Found this comment in another thread:

Just use Tinfoil or SX Installer to install the games and toggle the 'Convert to Standard Crypto' feature to YES to bypass firmware checks when you run the software.
As long as the games don't use any of the features from the newer firmware, you should be good.

Sure but not all games can be downgraded.

Games that require masterkey 0b and above won't work, you can play anything that require 0a and below on 11.0.0

Not true
I can ran patched firmware newest game on old 10.2.0 sx os
I mean the crysis 2 dying light etc.

On 2 years old 10.2.0 nand
===============

Could you tell me why?!

Dude don't link warez here. @linuxares

 

[sh2dc]

No warez

No warez

those link contain nsz files

 

[sh2dc]

those link contain nsz files

Fine it removed already

 

[Hayato213]

You have to look at the required masterkey the game use, so if those game require masterkey 0b, obviously you can't run it on 11.0.0 and below, 11.0.0 to 12.0.2 use masterkey 0a, and 12.1.0 introduced masterkey 0b.

i had run pokemon brilliant diamond yesterday at 11.0.0 sxos without problems

Base game work fine on 11.0.0

Sxinstaller as well as sxos built in installer is flawed. Use tinfoil,awoo or dbi. Or a variant. The SX installers patch the game and make them unable to load in atmosphere. It's best to make everything correct so you can freely bounce back and forth between SX and Atmo if necessary.

You can only downgrade as far as the game was developed for. The game has requirements. Then it is encrypted to the newest keys for copy protection purposes. That's why some work and not others. The standard crypto option only works as far back as the dependencies of the game.

This has been answered a trillion times.

Copy protection is probably the least of the concern, more the internal works of how you should do it at Nintendo for the best efficiency of using the Switch.

That makes no sense. One encryption key or an another is not more efficent. Encryption IS about obfuscating code. Decrypted is more efficient. They just bring it up to the current keys at the time of release. This is the most secure route.

Internal routine. Since the new FW requires the new firmware key, it just be like that. Since FW 13+ might include things that the games requires.

Efficient in that having a general standard for everything? Okay. But from a software standpoint decrypted is more efficient and the whole point of encryption is security. If there was not tom foolery and piracy than encryption would be moot. There would be just a version check. The only requirements would be whatever existed at the time of development.

Of course encryption is anti privacy and anti tampering. However new games being release and updates requiring the new fw is just a standard practice for best compatibility. Of course a crypto gets updated. I don't see your point to it only being anti piracy
