Hacking Discussion What are/should 1.0.0 users be waiting for?

[abk14459]

I have a launch 1.0.0 switch. I've kept it all this time without updating, playing only zelda and mk8. I haven't bought jap puyo puyo because I'm hoping I won't need it when a cfw comes out if that's even possible. I've been reading about the exfat issue and how only 4.0.1 FW can get it. Should I update and use the team executer dongle or are there better options to get exfat compatibility? Also, what are other 1.0.0 users waiting for or what have they done to theirs?

Buy Japanese Puyo and get ready for coldboot soon™️. No need for exFAT driver if you format your SD to FAT32. (But you can install it if someone dumps it for you.)

1.0.0 - 4.1.0:
- Atmosphere CFW
- possible coldboot (which might never come)
everyone else
- Atmosphere CFW

and you don't puyo for CFW, if you are okay with hardmod.

Isn't there a limit for Fat32. I was planning on getting a 200gb+ card and I believe it can only register as exfat. Can I install the dump on 1.0.0?

So there's no way around it for softmod then?

can be installed on any FW IIRC
And fat32 has 2TB limit.

GParted should be able to FAT32 it.

Can I install the dump on 1.0.0?

Not sure since 2.0.0 was a launch date update.

fat32 limit is 2TB and IIRC you can install that dump on any FW.

there is for 1.0.0 right now (you need puyo for it) and there will be one for 4.0.1 and lower in the future once Atmosphere launches (I think).

hekate>homebrew launcher works right now on 1.0.0 through rcm so wait for atmosphere and emunand so you can keep 1.0.0 and update the emunand

if you can get puyo and install fake news and resell it go ahead.
im on 1.0 and cant get puyo so im mainly going with a diy modchip or rcm untill something comes out

Yeah. Figured. I just ordered a used copy from Amazon. After I install web browser, I'm just going to return it for full refund.

 

[Milenko]

Would be funny if it's the same copy being refunded over and over

you need a jap version of puyo not the normal one

--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------

there are no used jap puyo on amazon, they are more expensive than the new one make sure your getting the right copy

There's a couple of used jap copies coming from Japan. Costs a couple of dollars more than new ones but eligible to get full refund through Amazon. Cant return new copies that are opened for full refund so got used one.

If you don't want to buy Puyo Puyo Tetris, it should be possible in the near future to install Fake News using RCM.

thats what im hoping for honestly.
i guess it shouldnt be impossible

If one were to port the Fake News installer to a homebrew NRO, then it should be possible to load the Homebrew Launcher via RCM/Hekate and install Fake News on 1.0.0-3.0.0 today.

 

[Xandroz]

i guess its doable, but we are a minority, so leta hope for the best.

I just bought a new switch a few days ago after learning about the recent hacking scene developments and my unit is on 1.0.0. I've read through various threads here and I see "emunand" brought up a lot but I don't really understand what It means/what it would allow me to do.

The two main things that I have so far discovered I can't do on my 1.0.0 firmware is using my 256gb micro SD and playing DLC 2 of Zelda BOTW (requires 4.1). This thread leads me to believe I can just reformat my micro sd to FAT 32 to solve my first problem, would "updating my emunand" allow me to keep my 1.0.0 firmware for easier homebrew stuff AND let me play games that require higher firmwares? If so I'll definitely stay on 1.0. Otherwise, the games take priority for me I think.

Yes, this is the whole purpose of EmuNAND. It allows you to retain a low firmware on your Switch, or SysNAND, while enjoying all of the benefits of being on the latest firmware using EmuNAND, which is an emulated NAND partition that is being ran off your SD card. Just be aware that if you use any hacks on EmuNAND, you run the risk of getting banned. Its not a guarantee you may be banned, but its a risk to definitely be aware of.

Likely yes, definitely stay on 1.0.0.
