hi everyone, I want to ask a quick question to you. I have 2 switch, one is with fw 5.1.0, with sx os. the other one I kept with fw 3.0.1, waiting if some new hacks might come up. Now that fw 6.0 is coming, I am worried that I will not be able to upgrade from 3.0.1 to 5.1.0 anymore, if needed, because nintendo will force me to go to 6.0 directly.
Is there a way to upgrade to a specific fw (5.1.0 in this case), after 6.0 is out? If not, should I upgrade right now before 6.0 is out, or still wait and keep 3.0.1?
Thank you!

switch have efuse to prevent system version's degradation.
ofw 5.1.0 can be hacked completely. but tx os only support one device and can not working 2 different devices
so i suggest maintain present fw 3.0.1 is best because you have 2 consoles.

I would be very careful updating to Nintendo official 6.0 update when it’s dropped there is no reason why Nintendo would not go back and change code to block cfw again for all we know the 6.0 leak might of been done intentionally just so the likes of cfw “think” they have the upper hand on release, Nintendo are not that stupid they have had the update for weeks now over the leak they know very well the only people who will use the leak are hackers, it could of been changed knowing cfw has made changes to fix issues with 6.0! Your not supposed to go and use the leak to update your switch it’s not even been officially confirmed or activated they could of made changes since then and there is no reason why they can’t!

Better update officially now before 6.0.0 drop. Also don't forget to update for SD card too. The backup NAND. And go offline forever.

  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @AncientBoi, Yeah, believe you can do PSP games as well. But a Pi5 is much powerful in comparison.

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Not sure about other models of Pi4 but the Pi 4 B with 8GBs OCed to 2Ghz handles PSP really great except like 1 game I found and it is playable it just looks bad lol Motor Storm Arctic something or other.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Other games I can have turned up to like 2X and all kinds of enhancements, Motorstorm hmmm nope 1X and no enhancements lol

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I will admit that one does seem more interesting than the usual Ambernic ones, and I already liked those.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    I dread the price point.

  • Veho @ Veho:
    This looks like one of their premium models, so... $150 :glare:

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    To me that seems reasonable.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I mean since basically all the games are errmmm free lol
  • Veho @ Veho:
    I mean yeah sure but the specs are the same as a $50 model, it's just those pesky "quality of life" things driving up the price, like an actually working speaker, or buttons that don't melt, and stuff like that.

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I think all in my Pi 4 was well north of 200 bucks 150ish for the Pi 4 the case the fancy cooler, then like 70 for the 500GB MicroSD then like 70 for the Xbox controller. But honestly it's a nice set up I really enjoy and to me was worth every penny. (even bought more controllers for 2 or 4 player games.) hmmm have never played any 2 player games yet :(
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Yeah that's what I hate about the RPi, it's supposedly $30 or something but it takes an additional $200 of accessories to actually turn it into a working something.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    yes that's the expensive part lol
  • Veho @ Veho:
    I mean sure it's flexible and stuff but so is uremum but it's fiddly.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Yeah a lot of it I consider a hobby, using Batocera I am constantly adjusting the collection adding and removing stuff, scraping the artwork. Haven't even started on some music for the theme... Also way down the road I am considering attempting to do a WiiFlow knock off lol
  • Veho @ Veho:
    I want everything served on a plate plz ktnx, "work" is too much work for me.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Hmm, with that in mind, maybe a complete out-the-box solution with all the games collected, pacthed and optimized for me would be worth $150 :unsure:
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Yeah it's all choice and that's a good thing :)
