Hacking [List] Games required Firmware version

[godreborn]

I bought ys 8 a couple days ago. it didn't ask for an update, so I assume it requires 4.1.0 (what my system is on).

It's confirmed that Octopath Traveller is a 5.0 game from the leaked release today.

Proof (look for master key revision):

I confirm this, game refuses to load on my 4.1.0 console

any chance to remove the updates from xci files? would be great to be able to stay as low as possible for software vuln

 

[godreborn]

don't newer games require different keys, so staying on low firmware and removing updates would be meaningless?

Is there any game that contains the 5.1.0 update ? I would like to update my switch without online/burning fuses (https://gbatemp.net/threads/how-to-...nofficially-without-burning-any-fuses.507461/)

You can update via internet holding VOL+ before the first reboot to enter direct to RCM mode, then set auto RCM with Hekate or SX OS and every time enter on system using RCM and a payload.

Moto GP 18 contain 5.0.x update in .XCI

European version of Octopath Traveler can be dumped with version 4.1.0, but has 5.0.2 update on the cartridge and definitely needs 5 to start.

So all new games is now asking for 5.x, hope emunand or firmware spoofing come out soon cause I don’t want to update

How’s Captain Toad?

5.0

 

[mbaran]

5.0

boooooooo. I guess the eventual 4.1.0 hack will be better than playing captain toad today

Looks like I'm hanging on to my copy of Octopath Traveller until my 3.0.2 Switch gets emunand =(

Patience. Is. A. Virtue. --- do I really believe that?

Taiko no tatsujin have 5.1.0 update?

 

[stephrk398]

So is this the trend then? If a game requires a higher FW then we're screwed for now? I'm fine with updating my FW to play newer games but it looks like I got to get banned in the process since I'm on SX OS...

 

[Raverrevolution]

Sonic Mania plus is asking to update and I'm in 4.1.0. So this is a 5.x game. Bahh, don't know if I should update to play it.

 

[Lunalik]

Can someone here confirm that mega man legacy collection requires 4.1.0.

The new games (july) needs firmware 5.x.x. For anyone with SX OS that wants to update without burning efuses, just update from a pure NAND (without any hack) and before the system restart, hold VOL + (with JIG) to enter RCM. Make a backup of this new firmware too with heckate then Inject SX OS, activate auto RCM, and you´re good to go without burning Efuses. I did this with mine 4.1.0 Switch and now I´m on 5.1.0 without burning efuses and playing Sonic Mania, Octopath Traveler, etc.

*Don´t let the system boot in original firmware after the update!!! This will cause the efuses to burn. That´s why you hold VOL + with the jig inserted.
** After the update and you entered RCM DONT FORGET TO TURN YOUR ROUTER OFF, otherwise when you boot with SX OS the system will connect via WIFI and you risk sending info to N. Turn router off, clear internet settings and enter airplane mode, after that you can turn your router ON again.
