Hi everyone,

I was on a visit to hongkong and bought a switch (neon orange) model XAJ70066xxxxxx.

I came home and booted the console and found firmware 5.1.0 out of the box.

Did not connect to the internet as yet.

Any hopes for this console?? as pegascape is limited to 4.1.0 or below

The seller told me it was imported in december 2018 so i expected 4.1.0 out of the box, but no luck

Thanks all.
PS: I already have a switch which is hackable but i used it online only...

There is not ETA for when 5.1.0 support would be released, you are better off running CFW on an unpatched unit, worse case transfer everything from the unpatched unit you have to the patched unit and use the unpatched one for your hacking stuff.

agreed but it is too much of a hassle for me to transfer the account to my ipatched switch and also the saves.
but yes transferring the account is currently my only option i guess.

one switch is hackable but online but other is ipatched but on a vulnerable firmware 5.1.0 as per scires, so no need to be rude but you fail to understand once i update my ipatched switch i lose
homebrew forever on that switch.

There was no intention of being ride (maybe a bit sarcastic).
I just don't find it to be too much of a hassle to transfer the user from one switch to another. And if you find that to be a hassle, how come you don't find it a hassle to have to use a 'payload injector' each time you boot your switch?
About the ipatched switch, nobody knows when there'll be a a vulnearbility released for 5.1.
Could be tomorrow, could be never, who knows?

So, if you're playing online and want to hack a switch, it's a no-brainer for me.

I think your options are:

1. keep the ipatched unit on 5.1.0 and wait for possible exploits whenever that may be.

2. System transfer from your unpatched unit to the patched one, updating and potentially losing vulnerability on that switch but modding the other one right now

3. Sell the patched unit and look for a garunteed unpatched system to replace it.

4. Use emunand to play with mods on your current system, keep your sysnand clean for online, and cross your fingers you don't accidently mess up and get the ban hammer.

    @BigOnYa I had 4.89 hfw on super slim that was great, but when I got a new hard disk I forgot where the guide was and could only find a guide for 4.90 and its resources
  • S @ salazarcosplay:
    @BigOnYa I think another reason to want to update is if the hfw is at the level of the fw
  • S @ salazarcosplay:
    you can sync trophies
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    You should update the 360 to newest dash before RGHing it yes. But not a big deal if you don't, you can install new dash/avatar updates after. It's just easier to do it auto online before, instead manual offline after.

    Have fun @Xdqwerty. If you see a chocolate candy bar floating in the water, don't eat it!

    @BigOnYa I wanted to ask you about your experience with seeing south park. Most of the people a bit younger like my younger brother and cousins that are a few younger than me that saw kids found south park funny because of the curse words, kids at school, that seemed like liking the show on a very basic level.

    I could not quite have a in depth discussion of the show.

    How was it for you? As an adult. What did you find the most interesting part about it. Did you relate to the parents of the kids and their situations. Was it satires, the commentary on society. The references on celebrities' and pop culture.
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I remember seeing the very first episode back in the day, and have watched every episode since. I used to set my VCR to record them even, shows how long ago.
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I just like any comedies really, and cartoons have always been a favorite of mine. Family guy, American Dad, Futurama, Cleveland Show, Simpsons - I like them all.
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    South Park is great cause they always touch on relavent issues going on today, and make something funny out of it.
