Hacking 2.1.0 still beneficial over 3.0.0?

[Deleted-355425]

Patience is key. I'm on 2.2 with poken on standby. I've just been playing other games in the meantime. And when cfw does happen my wife can play MO haha.

Same here pal and I’m happy waiting, it will be worth it in the end.

in my opinion i'd go with 3.0.0 because it has the same exploit at 2.x
games now > waiting a few extra days for homebrew

hasn’t 3.0 still the battery bug? isn’t that a good reason to stay on 2.x?

Battery bug? Googling to see what it is

Not all the switches experienced the problem on 3.0, I have an extra Switch on 3.0 that I bought on Walmart and bought a 2.x system from Facebook for my friend but he updated his when the devs said get on 3.0 stay on 3.0 lesson learned I guess always stay at the lowest firmware.

Same here. 2.2 with pokken waiting.
But... since the announcement of the TZ exploit working on 3.X, I'm seriously considering updating to 3.0.2 to play Xenoblade 2.

If I purchased a Switch at my local Walmart, would it have firmware 3.x on it?

Up to 3.x has Trustzone. We don't know if the TeamXecutor or Fail0verflow hacks have Trustzone.

Doubt it big retailers restock every week or so, your best bet either Toys R us or Splatoon bundle (exclusive to Walmart)

If they're not on 3.x, what are they on? 4.x?

From the other topic, new ones are 4.0.1 But you can return it anyway

Many stores including my local walmart still have all their switches in stock that they've had for a while. Including an unsold original Splatoon bundle. Same thing with the local Target. It's not as uncommon as you think...
