Firmware versión?

Firmware versión?

Already asked on twitter, fucking HOPING he says something other than 3.0.0, especially after 34c3.

 

[ehnoah]

It is all 3.0 as far as I know.

 

[V-Temp]

It is all 3.0 as far as I know.

It is, yes.

Im happy with 3.0 but it would be amazing to be able to use homebrew and go online latest versiom

1.0.0.


If you updated, you made a mistake.

If you updated past 3.0.0, you made an even bigger mistake.

1.0.0.

Splatoon 2 was my bigger mistake

 

[V-Temp]

Splatoon 2 was my bigger mistake

*insert squid girl* will ease your soul.

 

[SoslanVanWieren]

Nintendo can still make a mistake in a newer firmware that happen with the 3ds with features that are going to get added to the switch it could happen

--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------

Splatoon 2 was my bigger mistake

I think being able to play games is worth it over homebrew since yeah you can run any game you want on an android tablet any was.

 

[blinkzane]

1.0.0.


If you updated, you made a mistake.

If you updated past 3.0.0, you made an even bigger mistake.

What about playing newer games? I only updated because I wanted to play new games, I love the homebrew scene but it's so early ya know.

 

[LukySplatoon]

1.0.0.


If you updated, you made a mistake.

If you updated past 3.0.0, you made an even bigger mistake.

2.3 is good firmware?

 

[sarkwalvein]

2.3 is good firmware?

Yeah, it's good. It doesn't bite.

 

[the_randomizer]

Yeah, there's no effing point in getting our hopes up for 4.x.x firmware, and those on earlier firmware, yeah, you're the lucky ones. Whatever.

 

[ootnes2]

1.0.0.


If you updated, you made a mistake.

If you updated past 3.0.0, you made an even bigger mistake.

For people already past 1.0.0, but not at 3.0.0, (like 2.0.0 and 2.1.0) is there any reason not to update to 3.0.0?

 

[Kioku]

Yeah, there's no effing point in getting our hopes up for 4.x.x firmware, and those on earlier firmware, yeah, you're the lucky ones. Whatever.

What's with the pessimism?

 

[the_randomizer]

What's with the pessimism?

1.0.0.


If you updated, you made a mistake.

If you updated past 3.0.0, you made an even bigger mistake.

Pretty obvious to me, no?

1.0.0 = A-OK
4.x.x = No dice


Anything past that, you're screwed. It's being realistic, not pessimistic, developers are only interested in older, easier-to-exploit firmware. Newer versions will patch more exploits and weaknesses, so yeah, okay. Maybe I am being pessimistic, but it's not something that I can easily change with the flip of a switch (ha).

How can you be so sure that newer system firmware will have exploits? Yes, people cracked the Switch's security but only in older firmware, it's a very vicious cat and mouse game this time around, and it seems like Nintendo's winning. Prove me wrong.

No, "realistic" would tell you that it IS possible. Maybe not right now.. But really.. Why should it matter?

You also miss the fact they're dumping post 3.0.0 games now?

 

[the_randomizer]

No, "realistic" would tell you that it IS possible. Maybe not right now.. But really.. Why should it matter?

Maybe because I shouldn't have to buy a second bloody Switch just to get homebrew? Why does my pessimism bother you so much? There's so much we don't know, from hackers or Nintendo, so what's wrong with wanting 4.x.x to be exploitable some day? I'm just stating what I think, 1.0.0 has a lot of security exploits, 4.x.x does not, as Nintendo's wising up on making things more secure, I just don't see it happening, nothing more.

This is why I give up, this is why I'm being negative, because whatever light at the end of the tunnel someone sees, I sure as hell don't see it for people on newer firmware.
