It happens to everyone. It's refering to what is known as efuses and their sole purpose is to be blown. It's not an error, fault or mistake, it's by design.

Basically, any firmware for the switch will need certain fuses to be intact.

Let's say: Firmware 1.0 needs all fuses to be intact. If one fuse is blown, it will not boot.
The firmware update for 2.0 burns a fuse and it needs all but one fuse to be intact in order to boot. The system will now boot only 2.0 firmware, there is no way to downgrade to 1.0 anymore as one fuse is blown.

Yes, e-fuses are real.
Yes, burning e-fuses occurs when updating, so if the system tries to enter a lower version, a panic error occur.

Sure. Think of e-fuses as write once flags. Every major updated sets one of these flags and they cannot be reset. It has happend to everyone exept for those who are still on 1.x

    @Xdqwerty there is health behaviour you can add to your character, then to use a health bar is lil more complicated, google n watch a few tutorial video on it, be too hard to explain here.
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @BigOnYa, the character has the health behavior
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I know you have to create a health and health max variable. Then there is a calculation you use in code to subtract width size of the health bar. Google few vids.
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @BigOnYa, the "greenflatbar" is one of the preset health bars btw
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Yea you can use any bar/sprite. It will just change the width. Ok good luck and have fun. I'm off to go shoot some pool at the bar. Talk to you later.
