Hacking Do not update your Switch and find a 1.0 if you can

[Souloibur]

SciresM said 1.0 is the best firmware and the one who have most (huge) flaws so be patient and do not update your switch to 3.0 yet.

Seems like good hype, I wonder what may be up his sleeve.

This is the most obvious information I have ever seen relating to console hacking, lowest is ALWAYS the best firmware to be on for vulnerabilities.

Just update your damn system and play some games already jeez. 99% if the newbies on this forum are probably already wetting themselves thinking this will been an exploit run to pirated games.

Well, I know but i saw a lot of people updayting so not everyone knows this.

NO SHIT 1.0 is the best......yet another classic newb post

 

[Jayro]

I'm not waiting around on a crusty-ass firmware for hax. But if a flash cart comes around, I'll do that.

 

[Souloibur]

Well ok, delete this post if everyone in this forum knows that. I only wanted to help people that ask if they have to update to 3.0.

 

[thekarter104]

Well, stay on v1.0 for nostalgia purposes

 

[DarkOrb]

Well, @Daeken said that it's best to update to 3.0.0. If there were something huge on 1.0.0 for the end-user he would already told us. I trust him and update.

You can count on me testing homebrew with my Switch Firmware 1.0

The problem with 1.0 is that it has no browser. It will take some time to find a primary entrypoint that doesn't rely on it. And who knows if anything will even be released for 1.0? Right now the devs are all coding for 3.0 and because most people interested in homebrew are on either 2.x or 3.0 that'll likely be the firmware most people will be coding for for the foreseeable future, until someone discovers an exploit in newer firmware. Look at how long it took for the 3DS to get an entrypoint for 2.x, and that still relies on the browser. The only thing that works on 1.0 is the Cubic Ninja-based NAND dumper, because even though 1.0 is less secure, there were so many changes between it and later firmwares that things have to be coded specifically for it to work. For most of the 3DS' life only 4.x and then 6.x and 9.x were hackable.

and updatuing +.+

to stay on topic, i am glad to see a dev saying it is also okay to stay under 3.0.0
i will just wait and see what that rohan stuff is, if it seems interesting i will only then get the pokken game to updatuing to 3.0.0

if not i will just stay on 2.3.0
it was weird how everyone was like update to 3.0.0 some day ago.

i mean they (devs) were always like anything under 3.0.1 would be fine so yeah.

i am assumin 1.0 was its launch firmware good job ive not touched mine since the first few weeks when i completed that lame zelda game and the console has had nothing worth buying.

Better keep Splatoon for 2.0 around then.

Edit: Pokkén Tournament comes with the Firmware 3.0.0.

Launch units also have the most hardware flaws. It's all meaningless if you have to send it in for repair.

Having a 1.0 and not updating it is one thing, but specifically seeking one out is something entirely different, and probably not even possible anymore

 

[ehnoah]

I was about to buy a switch, then I noticed 2018 no good game get released and all will use 3.0.1 Crypto so, another few month in Dust the Switch =/

 

[Miles54321]

Yup i'm on 2.1.0, its better than being on 3.0.0, can't wait to see the great stuff we can possibly get in the future!
It's a pirates life woot!

 

[JerryShaw]

Already on 3.0.0 now...

But who still has a 1.0 Switch?
