Hey guys quick question, I'm going to buy an unopened switch from August 2017. The seller told me the serial number is xaw100153 what are the chances that it's 3.0.0 or lower?

You can use this chart to check
NXSERIALFIRM_revision007x2.png

Looks like 100%

XAW40006 has version 3.0.2
Bought this one from eBay from the 5000 unit seller manhattanproducts bought March 9th.

Hope that helps. Didn't see it on the list.
I figured the W400060s were all 3.0.2, but if you add another digit on the serial, I'll be able to add it as a notch onto the chart!

I guess ill be reporting on the first high value one possibly tomorrow in the 1000 series (got XAW1006###). ebay purchase on march 9th from downpat99 but shipped a bit after (uk store) with U.S storehouses. basically in the borderline between 4.0.1 and 5. Theoretically, I don't think nintendo shipped anything with 5 yet, so im expecting 4.0.1 but who knows. I'll be physically getting it possibly tommorrow

I'm still in the hunt... Saw a Mario Odyssey bundle and was wondering what are the chances of it being a 3.0.0
~40% of all Super Mario Odyssey units are 3.0.0, according to approximated data ranges

Why do tildes look like minus signs on this forum

When do you think will units with 5.0 preinstalled come out?

Also, SMO bundles all come in 3.0.1 right?
Just checked, the release of 3.0.0 was on 20.06.17 and the first reported console with 3.0.0 was on 22.08.17.
I'd say the first consoles with 5.0.0 preinstalled will hit early may. Might also be earlier because of speed up
production.

  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    I'm not familiar with the technicalities of the differences between the two versions, but I'm wondering if at least some of those differences are things that you could port over to the US version in your patch without having to include copyrighted assets from the EU version
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    @Sicklyboy I am wanting to fully change the game and bend it to my will lol. I would like to eventually have the ability to add more characters, enemies, even have a completely different story if i wanted. I already have the ability to change the tilemaps in the US version, so I can basically make my own map and warp to it in game - so I'm pretty far into it!
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I really would like to make a hack that I would enjoy playing, and maybe other people would too. swapping to the EU version would also mean my US friends could not legally play it
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I am definitely considering porting over some of the EU features without using the actual ROM itself, tbh that would probably be the best way to go about it... but i'm sad that the voice acting is so.... not good on the US version. May not be a way around that though
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I appreciate the insight!
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @TwoSpikedHands just switch, all the knowledge you learned still applies and most of the code and assets should be the same anyway
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    and realistically they wouldn't

    be able to play it legally anyway since they need a ROM and they probably don't have the means to dump it themselves
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    why the shit does the shitbox randomly insert newlines in my messages
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It does that when I edit a post.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It inserts a newline in a random spot.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    never had that i don't think
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    do y'all think having an sd card that has a write speed of 700kb/s is a bad idea?
    trying to restore emunand rn but it's taking ages... (also when I finished the first time hekate decided to delete all my fucking files :wacko:)
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @Karma177 that sd card is 100% faulty so yes, its a bad idea
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    even the slowest non-sdhc sd cards are a few MB/s
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    @The Real Jdbye it hasn't given me any error trying to write things on it so I don't really think it's faulty (pasted 40/50gb+ folders and no write errors)
  • DinohScene @ DinohScene:
    run h2testw on it
    +1
  • DinohScene @ DinohScene:
    when SD cards/microSD write speeds drop below a meg a sec, they're usually on the verge of dying

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Samsung SD format can sometimes fix them too
  • Purple_Heart @ Purple_Heart:
    yes looks like an faulty sd
  • Purple_Heart @ Purple_Heart:
    @Psionic Roshambo i may try that with my dead sd cards
    +1
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    It's always worth a shot
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    @The Real Jdbye, I considered that, but i'll have to wait until i can get the eu version in the mail lol
  • I @ I-need-help-with-wup-wiiu:
    i need help with nusspli failed downloads, can someone respond to my thread? pretty please:wub:
