Hacking Suggestion [IMPORTANT] Possible Nintendo server changes to block web applets from working

[Deleted-442439]

On non-current FW? So if I'm on the latest FW, I'm fine? I can play online games, right?

Yes, why would that be a issue? The point of this was to block users on lower FW from using any webkit exploits.

Ohh.
I'm a fucking idiot.
Well then, I can still use applets, but just not to run homebrew?

You can use everything, HB launcher is technically possible now if you want to mess with Hekate, but I would wait a week for Atmosphere.

then... it's a second/third production run, huh? not a revision. (I'm not so sure myself)

It's w/e, i only referred to it as revision because the person i responded to did.

Nothing was revised, it has updated software. Not even remotely the same thing

A week? Do you mean that literally or just that it will come out shortly?

 

[JerJer]

No, it effects all consoles even launch day consoles have reported to have the issue.

So what is the conclusion on this? Especially now since > 3.0 can have Homebrew via HeKate. What should the Primary and Secondary settings be to avoid updates and this issue?

let me get this straight... my switch came with firmware 4.0.1 and i9 upgraded it to 5.0.2 but i have 0 difficulties runnig switchbrew dns and the youtube trick threw fb so am i a lucky one or does it just apply to old firmware?

 

[Marioiscool246]

I am affected too.

Thank god it works as intented on last firmware. You are able to run code through RCM exploit but loose potential future softmod exploit. So right now, any code you wish to launch will require RCM unless they found new ones

Doesn't effect if your on the latest firmware there's nothing to update

BUMP Guess no one knows

 

[ootnes2]

Has anyone currently on 2.x had this happen to them?

 

[JerJer]

There have been several reports of users not being able to use the web applets without updating regardless of FW, DNS settings and several other factors, making it impossible to use the HBL and SwitchbruDNS.

This has now been investigated by devs over at the Reswitched discord and we know the following:

Latest status?

Well HOS is almost booting, (actually it technicalally is, but not in a usable state) so not far from working

Yes i know, but be careful with dates. You know how people react

True, but I never said it will be usable, only booting witch is vague enough

 

[Valery0p]

Sorry for not reading the entire thread, but the nag is present even on 1.0.0? Also, there are any dns that blocks the callback routines?
Since we don't know yet how to remove it, at least we can prevent it from happening... (without hosting the web page you need offline...)

Fair point

jjbredesen can you confirm that this update notification does occur for folks on fw less than 3.0.0?
