Don't update to 3.0 if you're on 2.x.

Looking forward to any news about this 2.x stuff from you guys

Just asking (not accusing) but weren't you working in a team with daeken ? or was there multiple teams, I forget

It's just strange that he said update to 3.0 if you want HB

In fairness I have never seen you say to update

The confusion is that you have both said different things, I know who I should have listened to now

I guess that as time goes by their team either found more bugs/exploits for lower versions of firmware, or some known exploits become safe to get disclosed publicly and something related will be released soon. There are always new findings on old firmware from time to time, even a lot effort and time is spent on new firmware.

Daeken has told people to update, because in the short term 3.0 gets HB immediately.

I've been telling people not to update, because CFW/emuNAND is more interesting to me -- I want a customized Switch OS and homebrew with full hardware control. And for those things, as I have said a lot, lower is always better. Full stop, end of story.

Different goals, thus different statements.

So you are saying that 3.0 is our best chance?!
But hey TX shared the key to decrypt STAGE2 of the bootloader (1.0.0 up till 2.3.0) they didn't mention 3.0
So i geuss that there is something special in 1.0 up to 2.3..no?
Well, in 3.0.0 nintendo changed some keys, but it doesn't mean that something big is coming.

Idk if it was mentioned here.

Good < better < best
3.0.0 < 2.X.X < 1.0.0
(HB) < (HB) < (HB, CFW/emuNAND)

1.0.0 os the golden FW, but stay as low as possible for some yummy stuff.

If the only thing that 2.X will allow is HB, there is no reason not to update to 3.0.0, which will probably have a developed homebrew scene. Read SciresM comments, for me it seems that he is mentioning CFW/emuNAND possibility for 2.X.

you paid for the console though. thats access right ?
Access to hardmod does not necessary mean access to piracy.
Buing switch does not necessary mean access to piracy.
Bam :D

Btw, if you buy PSVita (that is somehow 3.61 and higher) it won't give you access to piracy at all.

If they have their own cfw, they can do much more than that.
Look at their history. They were always doing it for money because of piracy.

He never mentioned cfw/emunand for 2.X. He might be teasing it, but never said that.
(Or maybe he said it somewhere and I am blind :D)

Can we like... pin the fuck out of this to the homebrew and hacking section for the Switch? Because there is FAR too much misinformation being spread about with morons telling others to update, and it's caused quite a fucking mess in this community with their stupid brains spreading misinformation.

Glad to be on 2.3.
Thanks, Scires!

EDIT. Just read that back to myself. Holy shit I'm an asshole. Wasn't my intent. My bad, guys!
Good job calling the devs morons

Yeah he never mentioned it specifically. But before he wrote that it is also relevant for 3.0.0, it seems that there was something in 2.X that get you one step closer to CFW/emunand. I didn't mean that is is known for sure that there will be CFW/emunand for 2.X. (That is what I meant when I used the word "possibility". As I understand, for now there isn't any known kernelhax for 2.X, which is required for that). Sorry if anyone misunderstood that.

If I understand correctly, the new ability gives you control over pretty much all the services, which mean better homebrew and bigger vector for kernel hax.

still only known kernelhax are on 1.0.0 and nothing else then homebrew is confirmed for 2.X and higher.

And everyone is being so secretive we can't tell if there is any other exploits or not. The switch scene is as garbage as the DSi scene after rocketlauncher was announced as coming soon (either months ago now)

TX is probably going to be the best hope for most people. It's a shame that it's a commercial product. The 1.0.0 hax could have been released ages ago, because if they are blocked already then there is no reason to withhold them. Apart from as some form of control.

    yall im torn... ive been hacking away at tales of phantasia GBA (the USA version) and have so many documents of reverse engineering i've done
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I just found out that the EU version is better in literally every way, better sound quality, better lighting, and there's even a patch someone made to make the text look nicer
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    Do I restart now using what i've learned on the EU version since it's a better overall experience? or do I continue with the US version since that is what ive been using, and if someone decides to play my hack, it would most likely be that version?
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    @TwoSpikedHands, I'll preface this with the fact that I know nothing about the game, but, I think it depends on what your goals are. Are you trying to make a definitive version of the game? You may want to refocus your efforts on the EU version then. Or, are you trying to make a better US version? In which case, the only way to make a better US version is to keep on plugging away at that one ;)
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    I'm not familiar with the technicalities of the differences between the two versions, but I'm wondering if at least some of those differences are things that you could port over to the US version in your patch without having to include copyrighted assets from the EU version
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    @Sicklyboy I am wanting to fully change the game and bend it to my will lol. I would like to eventually have the ability to add more characters, enemies, even have a completely different story if i wanted. I already have the ability to change the tilemaps in the US version, so I can basically make my own map and warp to it in game - so I'm pretty far into it!
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I really would like to make a hack that I would enjoy playing, and maybe other people would too. swapping to the EU version would also mean my US friends could not legally play it
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I am definitely considering porting over some of the EU features without using the actual ROM itself, tbh that would probably be the best way to go about it... but i'm sad that the voice acting is so.... not good on the US version. May not be a way around that though
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I appreciate the insight!
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @TwoSpikedHands just switch, all the knowledge you learned still applies and most of the code and assets should be the same anyway
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    and realistically they wouldn't

    be able to play it legally anyway since they need a ROM and they probably don't have the means to dump it themselves
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    why the shit does the shitbox randomly insert newlines in my messages
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It does that when I edit a post.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It inserts a newline in a random spot.

    never had that i don't think
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    do y'all think having an sd card that has a write speed of 700kb/s is a bad idea?
    trying to restore emunand rn but it's taking ages... (also when I finished the first time hekate decided to delete all my fucking files :wacko:)
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @Karma177 that sd card is 100% faulty so yes, its a bad idea
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    even the slowest non-sdhc sd cards are a few MB/s
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    @The Real Jdbye it hasn't given me any error trying to write things on it so I don't really think it's faulty (pasted 40/50gb+ folders and no write errors)
