I updated to 4.0.1. I wanted to play mario and zelda. I guess I might buy another switch, and give mine to my sister.

Might be too late for that ...

So if someone were to release a homebrew for it, how would we run it? Through a game, browser, etc.?

With this hack do you think that we could be able to extract and install files like dlc and games updates?

All regions are 3.0

Even new/sealed ones being sold in retail stores currently? Or would it be better to buy a used copy?

Ähm, no.

This is more of the ability to now create homebrew, code execution is opening the door. Now we need to make usable tools and UIs, and so on. Though userland limits will limit what one could conceivably do to some degree. Good day for homebrew, probably going to be secretly disappointing for those who just wanted piracy.

Grats to @Daeken and good luck on whatever lies ahead!

Sorry to bother but I'm a noob when it comes to homebrew. I thought homebrew also meant the ability to play games downloaded from the internet like in the Wii.

When you say "Good day for homebrew, probably going to be secretly disappointing for those who just wanted piracy." what do you exactly mean?
Also what practical uses could we have on the Switch from gaining homebrew other than piracy? Are SNES or NES emulators for example also not probable to happen despite the recent advances?

Thank you.

So this exploit is essentially what Plutoo and friends achieved? If so, this is groundbreaking since I imagine we'll see a prompt release, rather than it being held away from the community.

Could anyone confirm that new/sealed Pokken Tournament DX games being sold in retail stores currently still have 3.0 on them or would it be better to buy a used copy?

Too late for what? You can easily but a Switch with FW <3.01. Hell, you'll probably be able to find one relatively easily even in a years time. I bought a Vita with FW 1.80 last year for the same price as standard Vita. The eBay seller had something like 50 listed all with years old FW.

Do they sell new Vitas above 3.6? All the ones I've bought had less.

Not sure about new Vitas, but for used Vitas it was fairly easy when I was buying one last year to find a loads on really low FW. Was defo a buyers market.
