My first post, and question on GBA Temp, so please go easy on me.
I'm very much a forum lurker rather than a participator, but that has changed recently on a few forums.
My question is aimed more towards exploit implementation for the end user as the exploits become available for each firmware revision.
(I understand this is only really going to be answered by those currently working on exploits such as
@SciresM, and those with experience testing said exploits)
I know Pegaswitch is available for those on 3.0.0, and have looked over the steps to use it for homebrew.
All seems straightforward for anyone with a modicum of I.T skills, and the ability to follow instructions.
My question is this;
- Will the implementation of déjà vu, and installation of a CFW on higher firmwares be more difficult for the end user?
- Is there an advantage to staying on my current Switch FW 2.3.0 or lower, (time waiting for CFW not standing) rather than updating to 4.1.0?
- Will there be any limitations to functionality of the CFW on higher firmwares?
Okay that was a few questions, but all along the same line.
I am currently in the same situation as everybody else, all are tired of hearing people go on about it, torn between updating my Swicth to play Sonic Mania, Skyrim, Xenoblade Chronicles 2, Mario Odyssey, all the games I have purchased and left in their wrapping, or staying put to make use of CFW earlier.
There are a few unanswered questions about the latter, such as will I be able to play my higher FW games on a CFW when it is installed?
Will CFW work like the 3DS CFW, in which I can update to the latest revisions fairly easily and lose no functionality?
Answers from nearly everyone other than the Devs working on these is going to be hearsay, so I'm hoping one or two may shed some light on the situation.
I have all the time in the world.
I can wait without any problem if the difficulty of the exploit process for the end user will not change on higher firmwares, if all the functions lower firmwares have on a CFW, higher ones will too.
I'd be happy to update, enjoy my Switch with the games purchased until work is completed for 4.1.0.
Answers to these questions would allow some to make a more informed decision.
End of essay, and finally a huge thank you to those who work tirelessly on these systems, and those who work on this forum hoping to shed light on these situations and help others understand a little more.
