Ready for an update? Nintendo has just pushed out a new firmware for the Switch, bringing the system's software version up to 12.0.1. Per usual, "officially", this is just a stability update, so keep an eye out and wait to see what's really under the hood before you update your Switch, if you care about homebrew.

Ver. 12.0.1 (Released April 19, 2021)
General system stability improvements to enhance the user's experience.

Minor update; Atmosphere 0.19.1 works totally fine. https://t.co/W3my32fm4M

I guess they got pissed off atmosphere released CFW in a few days after 12.0.0 release? Either way I'll still update my switch lite.

And it doesn't have anything new... suspicious...

Unfunni alert! Do not read past here unless you want to see the unfunni!

The Switch is getting the 3DS's stability.

More stability jokes. YAY!

Man they're fast. I've still not updated to 12.0.0 yet

Sorry if this is obvious/already known, but I can confirm this update does not break Atmosphere as I just updated on my second modded Switch.

I just recently made the switch from SXOS to Atmosphere, so I am still an Atmosphere newb and I wasn't sure if these minor updates usually patched Atmosphere or not.

So apologies if I am saying something here that is old news or obvious

The switch is more stable than the van!

Any news on bluetooth audio for sysver 12+?

I rather update my clock on what time it is.

Does Hekate need to be updated? I am not excited to update all my emunands.

Another day, another featureless software update.

Does sigpatch also confirmed working on the latest?

So stable you can make a coffee table out of it.

For Atmosphere, it seems 0.19.1 already works on 12.1 according to Scires.
FS & ES patches would probably require an update though.

Same
Lazy to do it as everything still work fine and dont care of online

For me, everything works, so probably this update is not an anti-atmosphere by any means.

My guess is that this version have bug fixes and have not security changes nor new features.

I updated to 12.0.0... and almost all my homebrew got seriously borked up. I can't Use Tesla, forwarders or Checkpoint anymore. If Nintendo didn't screw me with the first update, they'll definitely do it with this one
