​
Welcome, December, and welcome, new Nintendo Switch firmware update. We have officially reached firmware version 11.0.0, and it brings with it more than just stability. Firstly, you now get a Nintendo Switch Online icon added to your home menu, which allows quick access to anything NSO related. The album has also been improved, as you can transfer screenshots directly from your Switch to a smartphone. As of this update, users will also be able to prioritize which games they wish to have downloaded first, when downloading multiple games at once. For those concerned over homebrew access, for now, it’s advised to not update to 11.0.0 until a new version of Atmosphere is released.

A new feature that automatically downloads backed up save data was added to the Save Data Cloud.

  • When using software with the same Nintendo Account linked to multiple systems, save data backed up from one console will automatically be downloaded to your other system(s).
    *To use this feature, it must be enabled under System Settings > Data Management > Save Data Cloud.
    *Save data will not be downloaded automatically unless save data for that software exists on the console. The first time only, users must download the save data manually.
    *A Nintendo Switch Online membership is required to use the Save Data Cloud service.
A new Trending feature was added to the User Page.

  • Users can check what software their friends are playing or have started playing recently.
    Information will not be displayed for friends who have their online status set to display to no one.
Users can now transfer screenshots and videos from Album to their smart devices.

  • Users can wirelessly connect their smart devices to Nintendo Switch to transfer the screenshots and videos saved within their Album.
  • For screenshots, users can transfer a maximum of 10 screenshots and 1 video capture at once.
    *To connect, users must use their smart device to scan the QR Code displayed on the Nintendo Switch screen.
    For more information, please refer to the Nintendo Support website.
    *“QR Code” is a registered trademark of DENSO WAVE INCORPORATED.
A new Copy to a Computer via USB Connection feature was added under System Settings > Data Management > Manage Screenshots and Videos.

  • Users can use a USB cable to connect Nintendo Switch to their computers to copy the screenshots and videos saved under Album.
    * A USB charging cable [model HAC-010] or a USB-IF certified USB cable that supports data transfer is required to connect to a computer.
    For more information, please refer to the Nintendo Support website.
    * Connection via the Nintendo Switch dock is not supported. Please connect the Nintendo Switch system directly to the computer.
Users can now select what download to prioritize when there are multiple downloads in progress.

  • When there are multiple software, update data, or downloadable content downloads in progress, users can now select which they want to download first.
  • You can set this under Download Options by selecting the icon for the software you want to download first on the HOME Menu.
User icons were added.

  • 12 user icons that commemorate the 35th anniversary of the Super Mario Bros. series were added.
Users can now name preset button mappings with the Change Button Mapping feature.

Brazilian Portuguese was added as a supported language.

  • When users set their region to the Americas and their language to Português, the language used on the HOME Menu and in certain software will be displayed in Brazilian Portuguese.
Several issues were fixed, and usability and stability were improved.

Can confirm AMS 10.2 emuMMC doesn't work if a Switch has been updated to 11.0.

Edit: Never mind. Above test with Age of Calamity inserted into the cartridge slot. Probably same issue with that TX user.

Wow! Thank you so much for posting this. I updated my system nand and went to boot EmuNand and kept getting an error! I was going nuts! After reading this, I removed my game cart and boom! Good to go! Never would of thought that was the issue either. I've been booting for weeks with my game cart in with no issues.

Anybody have any idea why this caused an error all the sudden?

If your talking about keeping say 10.2 emunand and 11.0 ofw - This was confirmed not to work on TX. I personally have not tested it though.

I wonder if it's because there is the text "EMUNAND0" placed into "some unused area" in boot1 by SX,
as discovered by another user here:

Since everbody seems to have an idea how Emunand works by just looking at the release notes, I thought I'd try and find out myself how exactly Emunand in SX OS actually works. No bullshit claims, real facts.

So what I did was create a NAND backup without emunand, and then make another NAND backup after emunand was created.

Here's what I found out so far:

- boot0 is unmodified
- boot1 is modified with EMUNAND0 tacked at the end (some unused area)

I'm guessing SX OS was using this as a flag to tell whether Emunand is installed or not,
and now FW 11 is detecting this as well
(it would've been trivial to do so after all).

Not 100% sure, but usually, whenever there is a major update like this, the gamecart reader gets an update of its own, which is what causes this issue. Once Atmosphere and/or hekate get updated, this should no longer be a problem.

Can you add more details?
Does a 10.2 emunand (or lower) fail to boot?
How about booting vanilla OFW (not through the SX OS menu)?
Do both of the above fail?
(although I can't see how they'd prevent an emunand boot since that is from RCM)

Also, did you have a game cart inserted?
(It seems this was the cause of problems for other users)

To those who "accidentally" updated, how do you make this mistake, do you not have auto-update disabled? It should be one of the first things you do when installing custom firmware. The only thing I worry about is if we don't get an update soon that newer games/updates will start to require firmware 11.0
