Hacking Discussion I no longer am going to be on 4.1.0, and here's why

[NeoSlyde]

I’m on 4.1.0 and update just now to 5.1.0 because meh...
I’m fine with auto-rcm and I have bought a usb c to usb c so I can rerun exploit on the go with my phone

Anyone who asks for an opinion will always get told to update by me. There are no cons as far as I'm concerned. Don't care about emuNAND or untethered warmboot or whatever it is people are waiting for.

Thanks for the post, I'm on the fence too (On 4.1.0 atm) and since I got the TX preordered and pirating single player exclusives is all I care about on the switch as far as hacking the console goes, so I'm thinking on updating too so I can enjoy things like playing paladins on the go and finally get back to playing ARMS online. For emulators, every android device I have is more competent at it than Nintendo's console, specially since I have the 8bitdo controller. Freeshop would be damn nice but it's not happening it seems.

Just a few observations

1 - You can't really play Wii U on the go. I can't even move my Wii U pad to another room in my house without losing signal.

2 - You could just sell your Street Fighter copy factory sealed without taking much of a loss.

Thanks!

This thread convinced me to update from 4.1.0 up to 5.1.0 , I'm a bit annoyed about the installation of Exfat support of MicroSD, doing this manually can possibly tag you that you didn't received it from Nintendo servers, dunno what could happen for further system updates later. Will be ready for my SX OS now, can't wait to get it

Indeed, I mean, there's not even a way to spoof the firmware, so it is what it is.

It seems that so far, the general consensus is those who are on 5.x.x seem to be okay, and I've no doubt I'll be fine with it as well. With so many games coming out this summer,
I see nothing wrong with updating now.

Emunand should be entirely doable in either case anyway.

 

[SkittleDash]

I mean, unless I bought a 3.x.x console (which I really want to avoid), I've accepted that fact and it's okay. I may as well make the most of my Switch, no?

Since I updated from 4.1.0 to 5.1.0, I haven't really noticed a difference. The only difference I see is being able to kick ass on Splatoon 2 and eShop access while still maintaining HB access. And any HB app that isn't working on 5.1.0 will probably get a fix anyway.

Of course, but I have my PC and my Wii U in the same room (it's connected to my PC's HDMI inputs on the monitor) so I don't need portability with that necessarily. And with my Super NT with SD2SNES, no need for Snes emulators (well, it is hardware emulation, but still)

Of course, it's just a matter of time, people said Wii U would never get kernel access, and it did. Switch may in the future too.

Im in the same situation. I have a 4.1 console but i dont see point of being in this firmware anymore. Hackers will continue finding software vulnerabilities and i dont want to keep waiting for an emunand solution. I guess i will update my console this friday to try the last games, update all of my games and buy some dlc. It doesnt matter if we use emunand or our sysnand iNintendo will ban us anyway

May as well sit back and enjoy the ride, methinks.

The only con I can think of is just no softmodding for instant CFW every time you boot.

How many times do you need to boot though?

I assume one could leave it on sleep mode when not using it.

 

[netovsk]

Ok updating right now! Finally got a reason to turn on my Switch after weeks lol.

HERE WE GO YOLO!!!!!

 

[MasterJ360]

I got paid season passes on mine, while TX has encouraged me to go all the way.Instant CFW may not be an option, but TX's auto rcm will be close to that
only requiring the dongle on boot. Its tolerable, it won't break my joycon rail, and I'm satisfied with that enjoying new games at the same time

 

[Draxzelex]

Since we're sharing opinions, I'm sticking with my 4.1. If anything, I also have another 3.0 Switch in case I get banned/other softmod exploits. I've already bought and played through SMO, LoZ, and XC2. Nintendo has not yet released a game that makes me want to be on the latest firmware although that will probably be changed by the time Smash comes around. My only hope is that Atmosphere comes out with EmuNAND support before it comes out or I'll be in a pickle.

 

[Zumoly]

Yeah exactly! And with the Switch so fast to take charge you can even leave it in the dock.

 

[elboo]

In my opinion, the best option is to have a sysnand in the latest version to use the online, and, in the future, Atmosphere in the emunand to be able to use the rest of the features without risk.

The doubt is in:
-Sacrifice the online
-Sacrifice the warmboot facility

No one cares what you do with your console.

You can shove it up your ass if you so wanted, this isn't facebook, no one cares if you update or not.

 

[NeoSlyde]

I mean hey, at this point this is like b9s
permanent cfw forever just update and enjoy last months of free online

 

[subcon959]

We all just have to pray we never have hardware problems in the future, as the only thing that could ruin the fun is being forced to get a Mariko unit.
