Nintendo tricked me to update and fell into the trap. It asked me to update since I formatted my sd card to exfat and I thought the latest firmware is still 6.2, I updated it thinking that it will still 6.2 after the update. I did not realize that they have just updated the current firmware to 7.

Is there any hope of getting 7 cracked. I am really pissed. It was my own mistake

It was cracked before you posted your question! ;p

It may take some time to be implemented in CFW, possibly a week or two, though.

That’s a bigger mistake than updating to be honest.

The first official 'oops I updated' confession? Eh?

I don't care that much of getting banned. Usually, I don't make such a silly mistake but it happened.

So, it is already cracked where did you see it?

Why did I picture Mario showing up in your room and saying "Hey-a, look-a over there... it's Luigi and he's-a doing stuff!!" and while your back was turned he's mashing the A button to get the 7.0 update going lol. Just another rube tricked by Nintendo into updating...

Man, I just updated to 6.2.0 sx os a week ago to play smash bros. Now I have to update to 7.0... Come on nintendo!
don't update cause no games require 7.0 (yet) updates are different so you need to go to your avorite warez site to get the nsps i doubt games will need 7.0 for at least a month

This is why even though i wasn't banned yet, i gave in for the love ftp and wireless sx-os updates and went online in stealth mode, even updated some games in official firmware mode which i vowed to never go online with the hacked switch, i ended up saying screw it, i feel like it's pointless to try and hide from nintendo when the ban is inevitable.

Lol Nintendo what a bunch of clowns, why changing the version from 6.2 to 7.0 like it's some major release just to add a bunch of icons and new languages? Oh and of course the improved stability I almost forgot that :rolleyes:

Apparently it is a pretty big update, just most of the changes are behind the scenes (not just security stuff, but there is some of that too) https://twitter.com/SciresM/status/1090124214953111554

  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    yall im torn... ive been hacking away at tales of phantasia GBA (the USA version) and have so many documents of reverse engineering i've done
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I just found out that the EU version is better in literally every way, better sound quality, better lighting, and there's even a patch someone made to make the text look nicer
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    Do I restart now using what i've learned on the EU version since it's a better overall experience? or do I continue with the US version since that is what ive been using, and if someone decides to play my hack, it would most likely be that version?
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    @TwoSpikedHands, I'll preface this with the fact that I know nothing about the game, but, I think it depends on what your goals are. Are you trying to make a definitive version of the game? You may want to refocus your efforts on the EU version then. Or, are you trying to make a better US version? In which case, the only way to make a better US version is to keep on plugging away at that one ;)
  • 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
