Hacking Don't get on 3.00 stay on your current firmware version

[Lacius]

i think you are on the discord chat aswell ? they was saying that you need to patch the trust zone which is only possible on 1.0 to get the key blobs to play newer games , because there is no kernelhax on 3.0 to enable anykind of Emunand like solution

My understanding is kernel has been achieved on 3.0.0, although it's currently private. Enough information was released during the conference that one should be able to figure it out and make it public.

I really hope this is the case as I have my original switch sat on FW 2 waiting.

Kind of off topic but I picked up a 3rd switch, Neon version, on FW 3 from Scan Computers yesterday if anyone is looking for one. Good luck

My understanding is kernel and a built-in way to launch the web browser have both been achieved on 3.0.0. I don't expect a lot to happen on 1.0.0, despite its possibilities, and I expect everything to be released for 3.0.0 between now and the foreseeable future.

In other words, 3.0.0 is analogous to 3DS version 9.2.

Kernel has *not* been pwned on 3.0.0. It'll likely be a long, long, long time before it is.

1 Dev always keep exploit secret
2 Leak always happen
3 Dev always cry
4 User happy

Wait some time

Nope. Kernelhax is 1.0 only.
3.0 is ONLY for homebrew, that's it..

Why are we being told to update to 3.0.0?

Don't update to 3.0.0 if you're on 1.0.0. I've been very clear about that.

You've been told to do that because that's where homebrew loader development will be taking place. If you want eventual nice things that come from kernel + trustzone hax...stay on 1.0.0.

Any benefit to staying on 2.x or should people just update to 3.0 if they are on 2.x?

For those few of us with a 1.0.0 Switch, should we purchase Puyo Puyo Jap Version now? Or is there another way to access the browser?

 

[Seelbreaker]

Thx for the notice! Gonna stay on 2.1 untill the little Mist we still have clears

It must be very annoying for devs to see everything they say turned into a breaking news thread...

 

[Sonansune]

If stay on lower firmware? Is there anything I can play with switch?

You have no idea, particularly when the questions asked were in a PM conversation I wasn't expecting to be public.

It's fine for all this to be public, I mean, but I'd have liked some notice (or to be asked) before a GBAtemp thread got made...particularly for something as low importance as this.

Quick, let's turn this into a new thread!

 

[SirNapkin1334]

If anyone gets their hands on a dev switch (if that even exists), that'd probably be one of the keys, at least to figuring out something.

We need to blackmail Miyamoto or something.

Yea I pretty much figured that was the case. Whenever Smea or derrek or whoever say shit it always gets blown out proportion or taken out of context, especially if its something that can't be put into practice yet. This is why devs don't even like responding anymore.
If your gonna quote someone, always get permission and clarification on wtf your talking about.

Get it ASAP before they decide to include a firmware update on the cart

There is no other known way to access the browser on 1.0.0

 

[The Real Jdbye]

Well, if you can ALMOST guarantee, then you'll be happy to know that literally anyone CAN guarantee that there are more bugs on versions that are less patched.

Not necessarily. Sometimes changes can introduce new bugs.

if you want the real answer 3.0 is bs and just made for homebrew only , 1.0 is the golden firmware why ? because you to play the newest games bought on the store you need the key blobs from higher firmwares which can only be bypassed by an unsigned trust zone which is only possible on firmware 1.0 which can be patched that way , its not possible on 3.0 anymore because the trust zone is blocked by security.

so if you are not stupid rather not update to 3 and wait if you just want homebrew you can enjoy it safely on 3.0

You can only get the 3.0.1+ keys from a 3.0.1+ console. Patching trustzone isn't going to help you get those keys.

No one has announced an exploit on 2.x that doesn't also work on 3.0... BUT it is always best to remain on the lowest firmware possible until something is released. Upgrade is always possible, whereas downgrading is often not possible/prohibitively difficult. If releases start popping out left and right for 3.0 then you can update then if you wish - it is not as though you are risking anything by staying on 2.x for now.

The only time that I could say updating early might have been beneficial is when 3.0 was the latest firmware - as you wouldn't have needed access to a game with the 3.0 firmware in order to upgrade to that firmware at the time. But now that the Switch is passed that, there is no way to update to a manual version besides a game with your desired firmware, and the only one with 3.0 that I'm aware of is Pokken Tournament.
