My understanding is kernel has been achieved on 3.0.0, although it's currently private. Enough information was released during the conference that one should be able to figure it out and make it public.

I really hope this is the case as I have my original switch sat on FW 2 waiting.
Kind of off topic but I picked up a 3rd switch, Neon version, on FW 3 from Scan Computers yesterday if anyone is looking for one. Good luck
Kernel has *not* been pwned on 3.0.0. It'll likely be a long, long, long time before it is.
Why are we being told to update to 3.0.0?
Don't update to 3.0.0 if you're on 1.0.0. I've been very clear about that.
You've been told to do that because that's where homebrew loader development will be taking place. If you want eventual nice things that come from kernel + trustzone hax...stay on 1.0.0.
Any benefit to staying on 2.x or should people just update to 3.0 if they are on 2.x?
It must be very annoying for devs to see everything they say turned into a breaking news thread...
You have no idea, particularly when the questions asked were in a PM conversation I wasn't expecting to be public.
It's fine for all this to be public, I mean, but I'd have liked some notice (or to be asked) before a GBAtemp thread got made...particularly for something as low importance as this.
If anyone gets their hands on a dev switch (if that even exists), that'd probably be one of the keys, at least to figuring out something.

Yea I pretty much figured that was the case. Whenever Smea or derrek or whoever say shit it always gets blown out proportion or taken out of context, especially if its something that can't be put into practice yet. This is why devs don't even like responding anymore.
If your gonna quote someone, always get permission and clarification on wtf your talking about.
Not necessarily. Sometimes changes can introduce new bugs.
You can only get the 3.0.1+ keys from a 3.0.1+ console. Patching trustzone isn't going to help you get those keys.
No one has announced an exploit on 2.x that doesn't also work on 3.0... BUT it is always best to remain on the lowest firmware possible until something is released. Upgrade is always possible, whereas downgrading is often not possible/prohibitively difficult. If releases start popping out left and right for 3.0 then you can update then if you wish - it is not as though you are risking anything by staying on 2.x for now.
The only time that I could say updating early might have been beneficial is when 3.0 was the latest firmware - as you wouldn't have needed access to a game with the 3.0 firmware in order to upgrade to that firmware at the time. But now that the Switch is passed that, there is no way to update to a manual version besides a game with your desired firmware, and the only one with 3.0 that I'm aware of is Pokken Tournament.

yall im torn... ive been hacking away at tales of phantasia GBA (the USA version) and have so many documents of reverse engineering i've done -
@
TwoSpikedHands:
I just found out that the EU version is better in literally every way, better sound quality, better lighting, and there's even a patch someone made to make the text look nicer

@
TwoSpikedHands:
Do I restart now using what i've learned on the EU version since it's a better overall experience? or do I continue with the US version since that is what ive been using, and if someone decides to play my hack, it would most likely be that version?

Sicklyboy:
@TwoSpikedHands, I'll preface this with the fact that I know nothing about the game, but, I think it depends on what your goals are. Are you trying to make a definitive version of the game? You may want to refocus your efforts on the EU version then. Or, are you trying to make a better US version? In which case, the only way to make a better US version is to keep on plugging away at that one -
@
Sicklyboy:
I'm not familiar with the technicalities of the differences between the two versions, but I'm wondering if at least some of those differences are things that you could port over to the US version in your patch without having to include copyrighted assets from the EU version

@
TwoSpikedHands:
@Sicklyboy I am wanting to fully change the game and bend it to my will lol. I would like to eventually have the ability to add more characters, enemies, even have a completely different story if i wanted. I already have the ability to change the tilemaps in the US version, so I can basically make my own map and warp to it in game - so I'm pretty far into it!

@
TwoSpikedHands:
I really would like to make a hack that I would enjoy playing, and maybe other people would too. swapping to the EU version would also mean my US friends could not legally play it
-
@
TwoSpikedHands:
I am definitely considering porting over some of the EU features without using the actual ROM itself, tbh that would probably be the best way to go about it... but i'm sad that the voice acting is so.... not good on the US version. May not be a way around that though

The Real Jdbye:
@TwoSpikedHands just switch, all the knowledge you learned still applies and most of the code and assets should be the same anyway -
@
The Real Jdbye:
and realistically they wouldn't
be able to play it legally anyway since they need a ROM and they probably don't have the means to dump it themselves -
