Hacking Switch Update 5.0.1 Released

[TheCyberQuake]

*Yawn* Another attempt at Nintendo playing cat and mouse

What was there to really patch after 5.0.0? Most everything known was patched already. I would say this one is more bug fixes with third party accessories than vulns. Though it's likely some kind of vulnerability was patched that wasn't public.

Something trivial no doubt, Ninty's getting desperate.

Disagree. I like it in the code block better.

eh, i thought the code looked better too

No guys it looked like this

I was expecting a relatively soon minor update after the recent major update, probably bug fixes. From the dates of previous updates it seems to be a pattern, as I would have guessed. Once a major update is released, it's bound to show more bugs up immediately than a minor update.

...I was hoping that this new update would give a new grace period that might let me download game updates and eshop shit, but no luck so far. I'll try again tomorrow just in case it didn't kick in yet.

... Or maybe they may have fixed an issue with third party accessories? It's not always about closing holes in the system..

Don't make dumb comments. It's their job to plug holes and update their consoles

Ok, how about this, let's all stop guessing and assuming what it is immediately like idiots. Just wait like a day and I'm sure someone will know what it all does.

I agree, I like to speculate though.

Personally, I think it is probably improvements and bug fixes to KASLR. Knowing Nintendo they probably did a "quick patch" to add that and now they are fixing anything broken beyond the known entrypoint. Maybe something like a semi-predictable dataspace due to their implementation if you do manage to run some arbitrary code somewhere.

And I think that looks better. Just my opinion.

Well, it does make you wonder what made them release this patch and what exactly it does...
Still nothing worth updating for so I'm staying on 4.1

 

[matias3ds]

Nintendo is getting scared

 

[8BitWonder]

I can't imagine they patched anything too crucial. If they did wouldn't they have burned another fuse?

 

[MochaMilk]

Is it safe to update?

Edit: Nvm i accidentally updated my console
This post is sarcastic LOL

Too real...

Too Relatable.

Well, Nintendo has been sticking to their general "stability improvements and nothing else noted" BS, so I wouldn't count on it.

Third-party docks not frying Switches could technically be considered stability

Only way to find out is to have someone try it out. But then again, I couldn't care less about third party docks, so.....

[Captain_N]

The stability is over 3000!!!! but its still much less then 9000!!!!.
The 3ds stability has surpassed 9000!!!

 

[Bladexdsl]

ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh........sooooooo STABLE!
