Stay on 1.0.0. (Lower is always better!)

And don't believe the whispers of snake oil salesmen.

stay on 1.0 but buy pokken, just in case

You should just play the games you want to play.

in the thread https://gbatemp.net/threads/switch-hacking-homebrew-discussion.464282/
it say "Nintendo has disallowed low-firmware Switches to go online. Update to 3.0.0 as long as you can" Is this True ?
and is pokken & just dance have the 3.0.0 update it them or you have to download the update online ?

I think this comment was aimed at playing online, not at going online at all. I highly doubt that Nintendo will ever disallow users to update their Switch just because they are on 1.0.0

Do not update from 1.0.0 if you want custom firmware/emunand!

1.0.0 is the only publicly known firmware with a kernel and trustzone exploit, that combined will allow for custom firmware.
SciresM has made it his goal to get emuNAND working this year on 1.0.0, which will allow you to play newer games from 1.0.0 without updating.

Thank you all for your replays, i will stay on 1.0.0 FW for now ...
but why does we have a pined thread recommending to update 3.0.0 when you are in lower firmware ? it seems misleading to me

The spread of information is very convoluted at the moment due to several large announcements and teasers. But the lower your firmware the better, and right now 1.0.0 is the golden firmware.

1.0.0 > 2.X.0 > 3.0.0
If anyone reading this is on 2.X.0 and thinking of updating, hold off. SciresM has mentioned on the Reswitched Discord that there is a good reason not to jump to 3.0.0.

...

emuNAND from 1.0.0 should allow people to play 3.0.0 games and up.

Be smart dont listen to anyone but me

https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_od...e.TRS0&_nkw=nintendo+switch+homebrew&_sacat=0

List it on ebay for $1001.

No 1.0 firmware on ebay,

list for $3000

Trade for 3 switches from devs

But somehow aquire another switch.

Update to latest firmware enjoy and wait for TX

profit.

Where did you manage to find a 1.0.0 switch

True, but it's at least guaranteed for 1.0.0 without a chip, and actively being worked on. While higher firms might never get emuNAND without a chip.
