What do you mean? And yes?
I bought a copy of botw (direct from best buy, sent from their factory and not a store) and it is revision 001 but only has the base 1.0.0 launch version of zelda. I was able to confirm that european rated copies of revision 001 have a newer patch on the cart but I haven't been able to replicate it with a North America copy.

So base off the list, I can use "Kirby Star Allies" cartridge to update to 4.1.0, correct? I am currently on 4.0.1 and like every one else patiently waiting for the cfw. I just like to confirm. So I don't make a stupid mistake or if there was a revision out there.

P.S. Hope I didn't accidentally double post. Sorry If I did.

Yes, you can. You can check the revision on the back of the cartridge.

Setup my switch today only to find out that its on 2.2, but I have 002 copies of both Zelda and Mario Kart. I havent checked my Odyssey copy, but I assume those are all 3.0.1 (or 2) firmwares?

It seems then Zelda will require 4.1.0. And Kart will require me to be on 4.0.1 at least

I don't want to "not" play my games, but is it really valuable to stay at 3.0 or below? Or should I not be concerned and just move up to 4.1.0?

So I bought Doom on a cart (used) and I with DNS updating blocked, the game launches (says it needs updating though), then I get a an error because the game is trying to check some server, but the game keeps going until the I got the confirm page and even though A works for my confirm, I can not move the cursor down to the continue button at all. Which means I can't play the game.

Now if I turn my normal DNS on, it tells me in game that I need to restart & update the game. Gives me a later & restart options, but later just keeps bring up that screen.

Any work around for that? If not, you might need to make a note about the Doom game since it doesn't run from the cartridge without updating it anymore.

I'm on 4.1 firmware.

Popular games got new revs often dont own doom so maybe theres alredy 001 cart. Switchdb says 3.0.1 but its aaa and popular game.

I'm going to see if they have any other doom carts first. Maybe i can find one that will work without internet & update. thanks for your replies.

Doom is a really nasty One when not updated! There are treads all over the internet aboug it. This is the frozen cursor glitch. You need to shut down your switch. (Really by holding power and chose shit down)
