Homebrew Discussion CFW vs OFW

[Zumoly]

Hi!
Just out of curiosity, I would like to know for you guys:

1. how often you go into homebrew (on daily basis maybe?)
2. what are the limitations with the current exploit? (RCM, payload injection method?)
3. is the homebrew 'preventing' you from enjoying your actual Switch games? (I know it does for me)

My answers:
1. Five times and I make sure to stay in as long as I can (due to no sleep mode in Hekate)
2. I use NXloader and I made sure to make my Switch case as minimal and complete as possible (check attached picture), so booting into cfw takes me like 15 seconds.
3. I hope I'm not alone here! I'm basically late playing BOTW, Bayonetta 2, Mario Kart 8, Skyrim (not started), Splatoon 2 (still at the beginning), ARMS (not touching)... I guess playing those fantastic megadrive and GBA titles in table top mode beats all those great great games

Oooh I like the stand. Can I ask where you got it from?

1. Very seldom, because sleep mode is unsupported.
2. It's still about sleep mode.
3. If I must say, it must be the troublesome booting (because of the unsupported sleep mode).

Thanks! It's actually a phone stand I came by in a shop. I have a different one but I prefer this one for the sake of portability. And it allows me to charge while playing as well (I just have to use the Switch case to make it stable.

Sleep mode goes a long way.

I'm on 3.0.0

1. One time a day, if I've even turned off the Switch - and not left it in standby. I mostly restart the switch (and redo the exploit) to get ftp going (the client doesnt survive standby/resume), or to watch/delete screenshots.
2. Pegaswitch browser exploit - takes about 50 seconds to 90 seconds to get into HBL from coldboot
3. I'm almost exclusively playing Homebrew currently, mostly because I'm on 3.0.0 - but I dont mind it.

(9 USD shipped, and I use them all the time, over many, many, many more expensive earplugs I've bought. )

or look around here, if you like the Earpods form factor:

Wow! That's the first time I'm told not to use apple earphone!
I thought they were among the best considering their build quality and premium pricing.

Ignore him with those knockoff cans.
Apple earbuds are trash though. If you want a good budget earphone take a look at Soundmagic e10 or sennheisers cx300

Still like you post mate!
Also thank you for letting me know that quality is not necessarily based on price (did not know that in terms of earphones)

i only got one nintendo switch atm witch is on 3.0.0 so its only for homebrew right now. And im staying there hopefully to have a easy acsess into cfw and ohter upcoming stuff Also i am allmost certain that there will be a possibility to play games even on lower fw tru cfw. hopefully there will be an option so that games can still be bought i know pirateing is coming. but hopefully there will be an option to still support nintendo. if not il probebly update ore buy another switch.

1. every day for gba/snes emulation

2. cant turn on switch without injecting payload. not a big deal to me since i carry my usb cable attached to my phone and just connect it to my switch to send payload with ease. autorcm makes it that much easier not needing a jig. but not having sleep mode is my biggest gripe.

3. why would it prevent you? in hetake menu you can choose to boot into cfw for emulators or just boot into ofw to play switch games.

What I meant is that I now prefer playing GBA and megadrive games instead of the actual Switch games.

Are you sure you don't just prefer free games

 

[Zumoly]

Are you sure you don't just prefer free games

I'm sure I have enough Switch games that I purchased to play.
I'm sure I am playing those old games I purchased back in the days.
I'm sure you're referring to yourself

Actually I like the new DKTC, but that's basically an updated version of a SNES game so it doesn't count either. In fact, the games I'd most like to see on Switch are remakes of F-Zero and Wave Race 64.

Actually I do like all of the Switch games cause I never got a Wii U back then.
Some of the games I would really like to see on the Switch are: Torchlight and Dungeons Defenders
