Nintendo Switch firmware 5.0.0 released

hooray...

 

Well, guess that I'll be holding on 4.1 for a while. I expected to see more changes that could make me go straight to 5.0.

 

Inb4 @the_randomizer updates his switch then complains when we will have exploits on 5.0.0

 

why quoting him?
I'm 99.999% sure there are lot more
so why him specifically?

 

Jealous?

 

lmao wow thank goodness I updated 3 of my games yesterday tho multiplayer wont be an option for now.

 

just a bit

 

So that's what a update looks like.

 

It's just a pictures, doing it with your real engine is way more orgasmic than simple pictures

 

Ah yes. Means nothing for those waiting for the CFW scene. Terrible update btw. No ground breaking features?

 

Wouldn't it take them a few months before they start shipping the new Switches with SOC revisions? If not, I expect to see a lot of scalpers with exploitable Switches for sale.

 

I mean the only game that needs online is splatoon and i didn't enjoyed it that much
So yeah if there is a game i need to update to play i will without any hesitation but otherwise I'm good on 4.x (forgot the x)

 

There will be scalpers even if takes a few months..

 

Exploit still work or nah?

 

Bootrom vulnerability will still work for current Switch owners.. But Nintendo included SOC revisions in the update. This means that all future Switches will not be exploitable through that avenue. Also, we might see exploit drops very SOON™.

 

When you finish updating your games and download all the free stuff, just to be safe, and you hop over to the computer to see what's new:
5.0 FIRMWARE RELEASED!!!

 

Oh shut your festering gob, I haven't updated as I've DNS blocked my Switch, so there. You're hung up on something I did in the past, let it go FFS.

 

I wonder why it's 5.0.0, it doesn't seem like a huge deal to me, is not like "Here is a web browser, capiable of playing video, audio and downloading images and stuff" Thought to be honest if it was gonna be a browser, i expect a eshop download not firmware update.

What a bad reason to have such a version number. I guess it does add some new features but the numbers are just improving too quickly. Pretty soon, it would be higher than WII U and PS4 with in 3 more updates before the end of the year, and those systems been out for years and still can't even do more stuff than both of those systems.

 

It's getting as stable as a fucking wall!

 

If I actually cared about 5.0.0 I'd unblock the DNS blocking method

They only did it to patch the game time display error, so it's a fan service
