of course i knew there'd be something more beyond 3.0. SciresM had been hinting towards having done things with odyssey for a long time darnit and those hints were for all to see.
All just an excuse just to attention-seek and not release anything for more weeks.
yes i know it could get patched but that might happen anyway even without spreading word.

Ok, whatever
You do realize they do that in order to keep the vulnerability in as many firmwares as possible. Keeping it secret benefits the community long term as it opens up more firmwares. It also allows users to benefit from features in newer firmwares while still having vulns exist for homebrew.

But why guarantee it be closed off if you can potentially keep it open allowing it to work on later firmwares

Holy crap, that is nice. I'm currecntly on 4.x because Gamecube controller support, and it appears I need it anyways, otherwise we couldn't have a 4 player MK8 Deluxe with friends.
Time to stay on 4.x!

EDIT: Is there any known way to block updates on the Switch?
Is it also possible that it unfortunately may be autoupdated?

Thanks.
Yes, The switch auto updates itself. Just go to settings , updates and turn the auto update off. The best thing you can do is turn the wifi off. That ll prevent your switch from any attempt of trying to update itself

I should have bought a Switch earlier but that's life. 2.3 is still a good place to be.

And having Gamecube (USB) controller support!

Good that this has been brought up as clarification.

People have been toxic and licking TX balls enough as is. Nobody released a product yet, so they are all on the same boat.

Whether TX or someone else does it first doesn't matter. It's just a matter of time before the switch will be wide open.
