So I'm updated to the latest 6.2.0. Wondering about how to play the latest games. Are there any special steps that I need to take or can I update to the latest version firmware. I'm sure that the latest games will need the latest firmware versions? Can I spoof it?

As of this post, the highest system version that supports CFW is 6.2.0. For the time being, 7.0.0 should be avoided at all costs.

A game or game update that "requires" 7.0.0 can be bypassed by using the "ignore system version" option when installing with Tinfoil. The new update for Captain Toad, which "requires" 7.0.0, works this way.

If a game or game update also requires the new 7.0.0 master key, however, you're screwed until custom firmware becomes compatible with 7.0.0.

by the time anything worthwhile needs 7.0 to run, they'll have sorted it out so cfw works with it, or else they'll shift into overdrive looking for a way to make it work, so unless you're one of the people actually making this stuff, you as an end user should just wait and not worry about it.

One can use Switch Backup Manager to see what the requirements are for a particular NSP file.

As I said earlier, if something requires the 7.0.0 key, then you can't do anything with it until CFW is compatible with 7.0.0.

    i thought everybody knew cocktails are like 75% ice
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Yeah but not like this.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It's not like they're complaining that their Slurpee is 99% ice or something, but if the cocktail calls for "shot of vodka, shot of vermouth, shot of gin, shot of Campari, three shots of juice, squirt of lemon" and ends up being a thimbleful of booze, that's a problem.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    the funny thing is cocktails in norway are only allowed to have 1 20ml shot of booze
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    so..... yeah
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    we're used to only having a thimbleful of booze
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Booo.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    same thing if you want whisky on the rocks or something, you can't get a double
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    but you could buy as many shots of whisky (or anything else) as you want and ask for a glass of ice and pour them in
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    it's dumb
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Maybe.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    There was a comparison of the number of Ibuprofen poisonings before and after they limited the maximum dosage per box or per pill (i'll look that up). No limit on the number of boxes you can still buy as many as you want, so people argued it was pointless.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    But the number of (accidental) poisonings dropped because drinking an entire package of ibuprofen pills went from "I need a new liver" to "I need a new box of Ibuprofen".
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Here we have ketoprofen that used to be prescription-only because of the risk of toxic dosages, but then they halved the dose per pill and sell them in bottles of six pills apiece instead of twenty and it doesn't need a prescription any more. Yes you can buy more than one bottle but people simply don't.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Usually accidentally overdose of ibuprofen here is from people taking like cold medicine then ibuprofen for a headache and the combination is over what they need
