    Nintendo Switch firmware version 20.1.5 released

    No need to touch Restore Settings. Downloaded (but not installed yet) updates are deleted automatically by powering the console off in Recovery Mode.

    Nintendo Switch firmware version 20.1.5 released

    Tested on S2: currently it's just a facultative update E-Shop and online games still work on 20.1.1. without DNS Blocker set up there will be a nagging window deletable in Recovery Mode as usual

    Why Nintendo might have some bigger appeal despite the negative narratives around it

    Honestly, most top-rated games nowadays are AA and multiplatform. Clair Obscur, Blue Prince, Baldur's Gate 3, Metaphor, FF7 Rebirth, Split Fiction... Ninny has a fair share of exclusive IPs but outside of nostalgia value they release less and less "must-plays" in the recent years.

    Gaming Which games did you get?

    For now: MKW bundled, Bravely Key Card. May get Yakuza 0 used if the price drops (50 EUR definitely not worth it). Prolly Bananza and definitely the new Hyrule Warriors n the future.

    Hacking Best practice for preserving Switch 2 exploitability?

    On S1 (prolly S2 as well) if there was no DNS set up to block Ninny servers, system updates downloaded in the background when online and you were given an option to update on launching any game. In order to delete such update (and prompt) you had to boot into Recovery Mode and reboot the console.

    Will We Be Able To Play Switch 2 Games On Modded Switch?

    What you're asking for is literally a port. S1 has only 4GB RAM, so every single texture and shader in the game would need to shrink at least 3x to fit. Also we don't know anything about the engine of this game, so it may consume more system resources that S1 has to offer, unless you make...

    Do any Switch 2 games have an update on the cartridge?

    How's 19.0 effectively bricked? You wouldn't be keeping it for hacks then. Buy a second console for playing games/demos, problem solved.

    Your first impressions of the Switch 2

    I guess the Belgians got it from France for 40 EUR less? Unless it's the bundle which is like 10 EUR less.

    Hardware Mig Switch on Switch 2

    Maybe it's a coincidence but Smach Z came from a Spanish company too :-D

    Your first impressions of the Switch 2

    Mobapad will definitely produce better alternatives but you need to give them time.

    Hacking Best practice for preserving Switch 2 exploitability?

    It's a gamble honestly. Only the launch day version guarantees Horizon 19.0, every next batch may have 20.1 or higher preinstalled. So one can stash the launch day version and buy another console later, new or used, already with the update installed. I expect an OS update to launch together with...

    What we know... 2 days before the Switch 2 launch day in hack

    What you got correct is that both Tegra X1 and Nvidia T239 are ARM-based chips, just like those used in Android and iOS devices. BIOS is exclusive to PC architectures (like x64 and x86). As pointed out by SciresM in this forum already, jailbreaking the Switch 2 will be much harder and longer...

    Hacking Speculations about Switch 2 hacking

    Backports require a physical copy of the game (that's why Kunitsu-Gami was never backported) and some manual labor. Also, a prominent backporter from the PS4 scene, Cyb1K, received legal threats and quit after Yakuza Hawaii.

    Will you use your NS2 primarily as a handheld device?

    Mobapad or Gamesir have great 3rd party controllers for the Switch (automatically compatible with S2). Most cheaper than the OG. Mobapad M6 HD became my main controller for both Switch and laptop. I like it more than the standard Xbox Series X controller. Also, JoyCon 2s are larger and with...
