Hacking Question Best FW version to be on right now?

Ian095 · Feb 21, 2019

So I've not bothered with the scene for months, I've not had to I'm on 5.1.0 and every game I've wanted has been installable on that firmware, even the newest smash patch. Surely things have changed quite a bit since then though so I was wondering is there a new favourable version now because everything seems to work no matter the firmware if the checks are disabled.

I understand if the highest possible without burning fuses might be the best but at the same time if I get the same experience on lower FW is there really much point updating?

low fuse count and 6.2.0 or 6.2.0

So what does 6.2.0 offer that 5.1.0 doesn't?

Easy. Use ChoiDujourNX and update your Switch to 6.2.0

AFAIK, everything to date works with 6.2.0 but that will change soon enough.

Or wait for Atmoshpere to add 7.0.1 Support (currently being worked on, expected to be released fairly soon)

6.2.0 support. That's all. But you also don't lose anything. So there is no to stay on 5.1.0.

Guessing you don't have newer games if you see no reason to update, but if you intend on playing the latest games that require higher FW, then you'll want to update to 6.2.

7.0.1 if you use atmosphere
6.2.0 if you use anything else

If everything works for you and you're happy then no, not much point.

Some of us just enjoy updating things.

Currently 6.2 as others have said, 7.0.x if you want to use Atmosphere but no backup games just yet
