Hacking Most likely a firmware update incoming

[RyanTheArchivist]

A glitch was found that will cause everyones play history to reset when the clock hits march 3rd due to nintendo only tracking it by month and day this will most likely be patched with a firmware update within a few days so as always if you are interested in homebrew and cfw dont update when this update comes out

Is it just me, or have I seen this post like 8 times already?

OMG Y2K IS REAL!?

Sounds a lot like the millenium bug lol

...I don't see that being exploitable.

 

[Absintu]

does the big N know what the exploit for 4.1.x is?
if they dont, they can fix that bug, but it would still be exploitable...
If they know and fix it in the next update, it will be time for public release

if this is real, how could they manage to mess something up like that lmao, did they not expect the switch to last a year?

No, but Switch/Nintendo haters wanted it to fail.

I seriously don't understand what the issue is. if I change my clock right now will it erase stuff?

Actually, OP is referring to this serious issue here:

@Zyvyn Please add this to your post.

I doubt that with an update it will correct the exploit that has not been published.

 

[blinkzane]

the exploit is based off of a bootrom glitch that cannot be fixed without a physical patch. the only difference is that ninty could switch around some more keys and make it a little more complex, but it would still be doable.

Wait so...who...what are we talking about here again?

what are you referencing?

Doesn't matter if it's not exploitable, it's not professional and any hardware developer worth their salt would want to iron it out if they have the opportunity to

 

[DeslotlCL]

At least it is not like the 3ds era where everytime there was a maintenance people started to create like 30 threads about a possible firmware update incoming xdddd

If TX promise its future proof, only hardware change can fix it, right?

you dont need TX, they're trying to steal your money.
but that is correct, only a hardware change can fix it.

Its not stealing if there's a legitimate product.

Also, I'm sorry, but this bug is hilarious. As long as save data isn't deleted, nothing of value is lost.
