Switch firmware update 8.1.0 out now

kZwtFIN.png

Do you like stability? Because Nintendo likes stability! Once more, we have a brand new firmware update for the Nintendo Switch, bringing the console's firmware up to 8.1.0, as of today. It's been a few months since the last update, 8.0.1, though this one only brings stability to the table. If you're worried about any potential issues in regards to what this firmware does under the hood, then make sure to not update until proper sources figure out what this one does.

I updated my OFW to 8.1.0 and kept my emuNAND on 8.0.1. I can only boot emuNAND because I have autoRCM on and I guess you can’t boot OFW from SX OS menu, you’ll have to boot it normally. No big deal I’ll just wait for an update, but if you use autoRCM with SX OS don’t update.

.1 quick question I got a hackable unit from rac it was used but in prestine condition. so worth it totally as they must be getting scarce and its the third one ive gotten from them all came hackable the first 2 were brand new as they get old stock and rent them out as new. at least for the time being its been a good venture for me and my crew. its more money yes but ebay is getting pricey and you never realy know with them. bottom line is this latest one came with 7.0 it still wasn't banned so I flashed it made a nand backup then updated tov 8.0.1 and turned on incognito. to test the "not banned status I removed incognito and linked an account. I was able to both use gamecarts snd browse the eshop so I then unliked my account and flashed it agaian and reinabled incognito. if I update ity as if it was a banned switch using known method. every time from now on will my fuses stay working up to the firmware I got in on which was 7.0? going lower on a downgrade I know can still be done but I would have to use my xkit dongle to boot it cold. so I wont I am just cirious if I update using char..... from now on will my fuses after 7.0 still be intacked so if I do a nand restore it will boot np. I don't think I will ever need to downgrade but just in case I heard a lot abot effuses and how once there blown downgrade gets messed up.... any input ??????

I’m having trouble figuring out what your question is because it’s buried in a mountain of unrelated rambling.

Can you ask your question more clearly?

Nintendo is trying to out-stabilize the 3DS I see...

That's cute. The 3DS's stability is legendary. It's the black hole of the Nintendoverse.

Nothing can escape the 3DS's stable pull. Not even light.

Jets of gaming code can be seen being fired from it's poles, as Gama code energy.

If you cross the 3DS's event horizon, you can never escape. Everything will become stable in an infinitesimally small point, known only as a stablearity.

How do you accidentally upgrade?

I didn't exactly "accidentally" upgrade but was sorta tricked. I decided to use a much larger sd card so I could add more to my Switch. When I put the new card in the Switch and turned it on, a message said "To use this larger card you must do an update." And you know what happened after that. Now I am sitting here with 8.1.0

I think we need to wait for hekate next update since the latest release isn't compatible with 8.1.0 and won't boot cfw.

They are non legit games, right?

If so, wait for ES and FS patches
