So I'm trying to get the Switch to stop asking if I want to update when I start a game, but the instructions on the first page didn't work. Has anyone else had these problems?

EDIT: Nevermind. User Boa posted this:

Hello :)

I just went into the recovery mode (without selecting any option), then use the power button to turn off the console, then turn it on into the "standard" mode and no more boring nag update message ! :D
I don't know if i got luck or if this method work for everyone, I just wanted to share this little find.

Sorry about my bad english :P

Worked for me!

Does anyone knows if this release list http://nswdb.com is trustworthy?
It has a couple of differences with our list, e.g. Tiny Barbarian DX is listed as 2.3.0

I can confirm that it asks for update on my 2.2.0 Switch. But that's all I know.
If it's true, I would gladly update to 2.3.0 just to be able to play 1 more game on my Switch.

As far as I know (can’t confirm it now while I only have One on 3.0.0 and 4.1.0) this is as it was back then.

I compiled a list using the nswdb.com release database. I listed only the games that are missing on gbatemp's list, and also the ones that have a different firmware requirement (those with * before their names).
Code:
1.0.0

Dragon Quest Heroes I・II for Nintendo Switch (Japan)
* Minecraft: Story Mode - The Complete Adventure
Minna de Waiwai! Spelunker (Japan)
Seiken Densetsu Collection (Japan)
* Troll and I

Code:
2.1.0

88 Heroes: 98 Heroes Edition
One Piece Unlimited World Red - Deluxe Edition
R.B.I. Baseball 2017 (USA)
Soldam: Drop, Connect, Erase (USA)

Code:
2.3.0

* Sonic Forces (USA)
* Tiny Barbarian DX (USA)

Code:
3.0.1

Cartoon Network: Battle Crashers (Europe)
Gear.Club Unlimited
* Ittle Dew 2+ (USA)
* L.A. Noire
Lets Sing 2018 (Europe)
Lumo
Nights of Azure 2: Bride of the New Moon
Rime
* Rocket League
Sengoku Musou Sanada Maru (Japan)
SUPERBEAT: XONiC (USA)
Wonder Boy: The Dragons Trap (Asia)
Maybe this list could be useful to reconfirm some of the games.

That could be added to B4rtj4h's "Games required Firmware" thread. (if they aren't already)
For all the cartridge revisions I have a thread listing all (to me) known revisions.
So ppl only need to use the search function ;)

I will compare this when I am at home and fill them in!

EDIT: What was missing I filled in. What I had different and what I tested myself I let out... Troll and I is definitely NOT 1.0.0!

Great job maintaining the list and preventing accidental updates!

Yeah, I found it weird they listed Troll and I as 1.0.0.

Anyone know about Dragon Quest Builders min firmware? I'd be willing to bet it's sub 3.0 but wanted to check before I attempt to launch it.

Check the launch date of the game kart and system version available at that time. If it was close, game could be version-1.

That's why I asked, it was released yesterday. nswdb doesn't seem to have it yet, I'm very patient so i can wait but my wife isn't so patient. lol

Does not work on 3.0.0. Works on 4.1.0. Tested today with secondhand cartridge. Serial on cartridge version 000.

My guess is around 4.0.0. But can not confirm.

  • No one is chatting at the moment.
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    @Sicklyboy I am wanting to fully change the game and bend it to my will lol. I would like to eventually have the ability to add more characters, enemies, even have a completely different story if i wanted. I already have the ability to change the tilemaps in the US version, so I can basically make my own map and warp to it in game - so I'm pretty far into it!
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I really would like to make a hack that I would enjoy playing, and maybe other people would too. swapping to the EU version would also mean my US friends could not legally play it
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I am definitely considering porting over some of the EU features without using the actual ROM itself, tbh that would probably be the best way to go about it... but i'm sad that the voice acting is so.... not good on the US version. May not be a way around that though
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I appreciate the insight!
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @TwoSpikedHands just switch, all the knowledge you learned still applies and most of the code and assets should be the same anyway
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    and realistically they wouldn't

    be able to play it legally anyway since they need a ROM and they probably don't have the means to dump it themselves
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    why the shit does the shitbox randomly insert newlines in my messages
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It does that when I edit a post.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It inserts a newline in a random spot.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    never had that i don't think
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    do y'all think having an sd card that has a write speed of 700kb/s is a bad idea?
    trying to restore emunand rn but it's taking ages... (also when I finished the first time hekate decided to delete all my fucking files :wacko:)
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @Karma177 that sd card is 100% faulty so yes, its a bad idea
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    even the slowest non-sdhc sd cards are a few MB/s
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    @The Real Jdbye it hasn't given me any error trying to write things on it so I don't really think it's faulty (pasted 40/50gb+ folders and no write errors)
  • DinohScene @ DinohScene:
    run h2testw on it

  • DinohScene @ DinohScene:
    when SD cards/microSD write speeds drop below a meg a sec, they're usually on the verge of dying

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Samsung SD format can sometimes fix them too
  • Purple_Heart @ Purple_Heart:
    yes looks like an faulty sd
  • Purple_Heart @ Purple_Heart:
    @Psionic Roshambo i may try that with my dead sd cards

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    It's always worth a shot

    @The Real Jdbye, I considered that, but i'll have to wait until i can get the eu version in the mail lol
