Hacking Huge exploit found on firmware 3.0.0: smhax

[Thirty3Three]

The guy is an elitist with low self-esteem. Also completely unaware when it comes to how he's perceived. A net bully and smug elitist.

The fuck? Hahaha!

What I am asking is, if I get another Switch, which one should I update to newest firmware? The old or the new? Im guessing the new would be on 2.0 - 2.3...

Its up to you really their are sacrifices both ways, its a matter of a possible earlier homebrew against a less stable switch with less gameing compatibility and wifi usage.

 

[digipimp75]

I have a Switch on 2.1.0 and just snagged a second one from Best Buy... not sure why :/ On one hand it sounds like it would be worthwhile to keep a spare on low fw for any future homebrew possibilities, but on the other hand it's a colossal waste of money lol. Meh, will just return it if I change my mind in a few weeks.

Great, we´re bak on track!

so Jackson, what do you mean by less gaming compatibility and wifi usage (i asuume on early firmwares)??

And please guys, stop attacking each other, it´s all conjecture as of now (will it 3.0.1 be hackable in the furure, how long will we wait for a public hack, etc) and if someone has one of they own respect it (kotaku said this or that...).

Do you have your own arguments? Or do you do nothing other than read what you want to read, ignore the rest, aswell as apparently interpreting what you've read in your own way, and then go jeer at other peoples. Because in everything you've posted noone has actually gained anything useful at all? By the way I wasn't criticising the fact sarcasm was involved, but the fact it was ALL that was involved in the post? Nothing came from it? As to the earlier post, I often don't generally reply to purely stupid comments without an intelligent point to make, its not a matter of catching on. You do realise aswell trying to tear apart someone elses arguments doesn't actually provide you with your own?

if we measured the internet and it's conversations based on what people "gain" all we'd have is porn

what are you even getting at

Even on 3.0 if you update, not just prior. Also you dont have to worry unless someone is trying to engage an intelligent discussion Ill just leave it.

But Jackson, i think the user was asking if he has a switch on 3.0.0 and buys another one on 2.3 ¿which one should he "conserve without updating" for future hacking?

 

[Deleted-355425]

Rule is always stay as low as you can so you have a more vulnerable console but if he has the SDXC patch installed on 3.0.0 and has better wifi then before becuase of the patches then keep the 3.0.0 on that firmware and update the new'er one.

To put things simply- What I'm getting at is that people are trying to provide information based on the latest firmware, and if another will be released or when(things related to the topic), and in that particular post aswell as many of your others, all you are doing is sarcastically trying to shred a comment, instead of providing useful information based on the topic? Or based on why you think how you do? People won't buy that. The article you are jeering at stated a hacker with 10 yrs worth of experience stated his opinion being that the switch will get hacked no matter what at some point? Aswell as stating someone saying it was the only source of information going in the current direction? Do you really think people will listen to you if you're only comments are sarcastic and tearing apart other people, again it doesn't provide you with an argument in the backwards direction. If your using sarcasm only to tear an argument apart you don't actually have anything to go on.

Definately keep the 3.0, its a later more stable firmware which has access to smhax, update the other.

Ok, say I update the new one. According to Nintendo's site, if I link my network ID, all my purchases activate on that newer switch. I can deactivate the old one or just leave it as is and still have access to everything on it now, right? So, when the 2nd Zelda DLC comes out, I could get it on the new switch without buying the dlc again, right?

Correct. Aslong as you deactivate your 3.0 switch you can indeed get all your titles on the new one after reactivating the AC. Correct.

 

[nickerous]

Nevermind. Need to read more indepth. Only one activated switch per id.

You see, while i am not exactly suggesting everyone to update their switch i wouldn´t blame those aboard the update boat:

*The console is in a very early stage right now meaning that the current userbase hasn´t still reached its peak not to mention that the game catalogue is really scarce meaning that by the end of the year with the release of games such as mario oddyssey and xenoblade 2 (which will most likely come with a forced update) the amount of users with a <=3.0.0 switch will be almost non-existant. Sorry, but you can´t blame these other users with a >3.0.0 console for either updating or obtaining a console with >3.0.0 pre-installed.

*Nintendo console´s users have been spoiled with some very good hacking scenes in the recent consoles, even the wii u which didn´t spark as much interest as the 3ds has a working exploit on most recent FW; you really expect these spoiled users to take you seriously when you tell them that the switch is on a whole new level security wise and that this FW could be the last exploitable one?.

*While nintendo has indeed created a more secure console it is still difficult to compare this console´s hacking scene to that of the ps4 or xbox; generally speaking, nintendo consoles have somehow attracted more attention to hackers. No matter how robust a security might seem, if there is interest it will end up being breached sooner or latter. Just look at iOS, if someone has constantly stepped up their security that is apple, yet they always end up being jailbreaked (although a little less often than before).

So i advise some of the users who opted to not update their consoles to stop being so elitist about it as if not updating is the smart choice. Your best case scenario (and not the most likely one) is that <=3.0.0 ends up being the only exploitable FW but you will also have a nintendo switch collecting dust in a shelve for atleast 1-3 years not to mention that since <=3.0.0 users will somehow be scarce the hacking community will also be small further discouraging the creation of homebrew. So i respect whoever chooses to either stay at <=3.0.0 or update, both decisions have very valid points; i am just pointing out that if <=3.0.0 ends up being the only exploitable FW it will be detrimental in a way in which perhaps not updating wouldn´t even be worth it (unless you are a pirate and have a spare console).

Im very inclined to pretty much believe this or something along these lines. In fact I'm more inclined to buy my first switch when a few more games have been released and possibly a version with a greater internal memory then 32 gigs base thats slightly more powerful? Hoping for a similar scenario based on 3DS to NEW 3DS, if it comes.

The new 3ds came out 4 years after the original came out. At best you won't see a "new" Nintendo switch for at least 2 more years.

i was able to put a splatoon 2 cartridge in my switch and boot to it offline but not sure if you can still play one player in terms of multiplayer i can confirm mario kart worked with me on 2.3 and and my buddy on 3.1

splatoon comes with 2.3.0 but can't be played online

I think they meant local multiplayer
