Hacking The Hacking

[colanwiser]

Hi, I actually recently went to walmart and got the mario bundle switch with red case and joy-cons. Unfortunately It wasn't until later in the car I found out that it ships with 3.0.1! Not only is it a download only game (didn't come with the card), I have to update to download the game. What a flying pain in balls. I was wondering a couple things. Does anybody know any of the switch hackers personally, because they said they have a few hacks up their sleeves and I've been looking for as much information as possible. Sure, I wish I could play mario odyssey, but frankly, on my gaming pc I have just about every mario game ever, and I haven't finished any of them except Sunshine. So that should keep me happy for a while, but I want to know things like.. how long before a hack for 301 ( lol nobody probably knows). I seriously cannot wait to see zdoom on my switch.

Most people here will tell you that if you're already on 3.0.1, then you might as well update and play Odyssey. If any hacks are released anytime in the near future, they will very likely require 3.0.0 or lower.

It's your risk to take, of course.

I don't know anyone personally but if you want to keep up with everything I'd recommend you check on reswitch's Twitter page & check back on gbatemp othen for any new changes on the subject.

As far as how progress has been going. Not a lot has happened, so far we know of a major exploit for Homebrew for 3.0.0 and lower firmwares, game carts have been dumped but they are unuseable and websites can be used to launch some code.

If your on 3.0.1 no one knows how long it will take for a new exploit to come out. Your best bet if you want a 3.0.0 or below console is to just go to a local store, return the product, and basically look for any older consoles. Typically the best one to get imo would be the original Switch bundle (with no game.) Or the switch bundle with 1, 2 switch (Mine came with 1.0.0 I think.)

If you want to play certian games on it to, well you have a problem as well because some games are only available in the eShop or need to be updated on a higher firmware to run and if you want to update a game, you can't; even if you own a 2nd switch and update it that way you still can't use the update data on the cart with the switch that cannot update.

So it depends why you bought a switch. Do you want to play all the games in the eShop and at retail stores or do you want to wait for HB and basically just play a few of the games out there without online functions and updates.

Your name Betrays you.

My suggestion to you, and people alike,
is; if you really want a hacked switch, buy a new one, when an exploit comes out.
Because You won't be able to Downgrade to a lower Firm, Period.

Or do what other people suggest.

But imagine Zdoom on switch. Lol, I'm excited thats all.

Either ways you're going to update it to 4.0.1 to redeem your game
just return it if hacking your main reason to own switch

This was the most disturbing comment from your entire post!

If anyone had any info they wouldn’t be saying it to you, they’d post a separate thread. Stop posting useless junk that’s been answered 100 times, which you even acknowledged yourself
