It is a good idea to downgrade from 12.0.1 to 10.2.0? I downgrade 3 times yet. Which components are overwritten?

There is no reason to downgrade unless you are using SX OS, in which case you should downgrade to 11.0.0.

If you are using Atmosphere, there is no reason not to be on 12.0.1.

If you decide you want to downgrade, you can do so easily with Daybreak. However, the father back you downgrade, the more likely it is you will have to reinitialize the Nintendo Switch and wipe your settings. You can also downgrade by restoring an older eMMC backup.

The problem with Awoo, is that if you want to install a new update it wont delete or overwrite the old update.
Taking up more space on the sd card than it should. I like to keep my games Updated.

This issue was fixed a long time ago.

Yup broke many homebrews :(

There is, actually lots!
Most homebrew applications work with 12.0.x (100% of the ones I use are compatible with 12.0.x), but there are some that don't. If a homebrew application is still being actively developed, it will probably receive a support update for 12.0.x sooner rather than later.

Unless there's an application you must have that a.) Doesn't work with 12.0.x, and b.) Doesn't have a better maintained alternative, there's no reason not to downgrade.

There are literally TONS of homebrew who will never got an upgrade.(probably) Or very delayed atleast. + whole SX OS thing.
Actually there is almost no reason to upgrade to FW 12. only if you want bluetooth homebrew lol.

  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    Why do you really want to use key shops nowadays? You're not really paying towards the companies who provided the keys, plus its very sketchy.
  • linuxares @ linuxares:
    https://gg.deals/game/bloodstained-ritual-of-the-night/ - I rather use the proper shops, but here are Key shops shown as well. They tell you the risks as well with each shop

  • linuxares @ linuxares:
    One of the keyshops is 95% off at the moment (probably humble bundle keys)
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    And a small percentage of keys bought with a stolen credit card.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    You never know if the key works or not, they don't provide a guarantee.
  • linuxares @ linuxares:
    Sure is... and poor devs get hit with the charge backs

  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    Exactly.
  • linuxares @ linuxares:
    Thor from "Pirate Software" said its just better to pirate the game than buy from a keyshop if you care about the devs

  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    devs don't get hit with the chargebacks, the keys are free to generate
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    at least on steam
  • linuxares @ linuxares:
    Except he said the DEVS get hits with the chargeback cost
  • linuxares @ linuxares:
    since the key gets bought with a stolen credit card
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    there's nothing to charge back because the keys don't cost them money to generate in the first place
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    If the game has a crack sure
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Most these crack sites have dead links anymore or the crack don't even work
  • linuxares @ linuxares:
    @The Real Jdbye What don't you get? If someone use a stolen creditcard. Then sell said key on G2A. If I the dev sold the game key, I will get the charge back cost. That's how it works, it doesn't matter if I generate 300 keys if 300 of them are bought with stolen credit cards. I never said it was on Steam, but its the dev that gets hit. There is a ton of stories out there if you google it.
