Nintendo Switch firmware version 11.0.0 out now

ED11DBF8-062A-4556-ABFC-6CD018D4FF4C.png

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.

it is my understanding that RCM consoles are ok (you can boot emunand even if OFW is 11), the issues are only on the new consoles with the modchip.
can someone please confirm?
RCM work fine as expected but there are some people who say they have problem with game cart. Updated sysnand to 11 and looked around. Now back to CFW.

So does this update actually breaks SXOS emunand on 10.2?

Edit: To clear up the confusion that I myself and some others are having the ver 1 Switch with RCM jig will still be able to boot into 10.2/older emunand even with the sysnand updated to FW11. This new update targets mainly ipatch units and new switch models with core installed.

Source: Personally updated clean sysnand on v1 RCM switch to FW11 and successfully booted into SX 10.2 emunand without any issues. Do take note that emunand will not work on ipatched & mariko units that have updated sysnand to FW11.

Those features are only available if the console tablet is hacked.
true, but it shouldn't require modding to do that Nintendo should listen and add those features mainly eshop music and themes forthe most part the eshop(virtual console) is a maybe but the themes and eshop music is a must and i work along side them and even i think they are being too stubborn

Wonder if we’ll still be able to boot using Hekate/Atmosphere using the SX Core chips once they’re updated for 11.0 - if the worst happens and no more SXOS updates come out, and nobody makes an alternative firmware for the chip
