Hacking Question Current downsides to firmware 6.2?

[hippy dave]

Obviously using updated Atmosphere. I heard kezplez might not work, but I already have my keys dumped. Has anyone encountered any other homebrew etc not working properly? Is there anything else known to not be possible on 6.2?
I heard a filthy rumour that a working devmenu for 6.x has appeared in some of the mankier parts of discord, so my main reason to stay on 5.x is gone.
Cheers

I am still on 6.0.1 and was wondering if I should just update to 6.2 to get my Eshop access back.

I am not yet currently hacked, but am always on the fence to do so at any point, so don't like to jump ahead on firmware, in case I screw myself and realize it was better to stay on something a little earlier.

I have no reason to go past 6.1 unless I game a really want to play comes out that requires something higher.

The only thing i can think of that might not work right now is sys-NetCheat

5.1 master race here!

Good question I was wandering this as well, if themes still worked the same? also @hippy dave yes there is now a working leaked devmenu for 6.1/6.2 in the wild but has been for a while now.

True story. The last FW version before loads of problems came up (thinking of SX here).

I was on 5.1 until today, but that's got its own downsides now, new game updates not working.

no need to upgrade for 6.2. almost all games works on 5.1. i got an emunand 6.1. unless theres a great game that needs 6.2.

What games? Just curious. The closest I've gotten to something not working was having to use the 'ignore fw' option via tinfoil for two games. Abzu and I can't remember the other, I think a Dark Souls update? I know that method won't work forever and when it fails for a game I REALLY want to play, then I'll update.

First one I personally encountered from trying to install it was the first update for Save Me Mr Tako, that was end of October but apparently updates using the 6.x master key is becoming standard right about now.

I'm still waiting for Hekate to update. Kosmos already has a pre-release update, and I don't know how to install that without hekate being updated.

The new Kosmos pre-release just chainloads atmospheres bootloader (fusee)

Which is arguably better anyway.

I can confirm, Kezplez doesn't work on 6.2.

Any hint to find the discord channel which shares this latest version of DevMenu? Thanks.
