Staying on FW17?

Nakamichi · Apr 22, 2024

Im really happy with my setup on FW17 sysnand currently, switch oc suite, status monitor, ftp, reversenx rt etc all just work so great.

I wonder how feasible it is to just stay on fw17 sysnand?

Will ignoring the soft firmware-checks on fw18 updates continue working? Will lowering the game crypto with nsc builder work for those that dont?

Does FW18 even introduce new keys? Ive never tried staying on an older firmware, so this is all new to me.

I believe there are new keys for firmware 18. I saw a lockpick version for it. I didn't try it, because I haven't updated yet. You're perfectly fine staying on FW17 for the moment. But if, or rather when, a game gets developed for firmware 18, and you want to play it, you won't have a choice to update then.

I like to wait to move to a big, numerical, update. It gives the devs time to iron out any kinks. Sometimes, though, I just to update to stay current. No problem in waiting until, as mentioned above, a game requires it.

Will likely work for a while, until newer games start using the newest SDK, then there won't be any way around it, you'd either have to update or not be able to play the newer games.
