A new Nintendo Switch firmware update is on the horizon. System software version 15.0.0 is available to download now, bringing only some minor updates that include the traditional stability, and Bluetooth and Ethernet related tweaks. Given the major new firmware number, there's not much to see here, although it does break support with Atmosphere CFW. 15.0 apparently patches a kernel bug, though SciresM is already working on getting Atmosphere working with the new update as soon as possible.

I'll be working to get Atmosphere updated for 15.0.0 as soon as I possibly can. https://t.co/k1jDhmD2h5

I think the point is offer something of value to give someone incentive to update. not this rearranging crap or system stability shit. I mean if they hold back for fear of exploits, then there's something really wrong with the company. to care so much about a userbase, who aren't buying your games and factor at a fraction of 1%, as opposed to the 99% who are, is fucked up. someone in upper management needs to be fired. that's just not the way to conduct business.

We wait patiently for the new Atmosphere and then update our dear Nintendo Switch.

"patches a kernel bug" is likely to give hope to the multitude who have a patched Switch and don't like the idea of installing a modchip, but the next thing you'll see is them complaining they accidentally updated to 15.0.

Hey I'm still on a patched switch with 12.0

Don't bother updating until Atmosphere-NX, the sigpatches and lockpic_rcm is updated or you won't be able to play anything apart from homebrew.

although I own around 200 games on the switch, that was mostly due to having not owned either other console, at least that wasn't exploited, and I wasn't about to update. my main now is the ps5, and it's the same for some of my friends as well, like @Hayato213 and @Glyptofane . the switch just seems to offer very little outside of exclusives. however, it's a very stable console no pun intended. the series x, while I love dev mode and retail apps (not having to exploit the system for homebrew), I have a lot of problems with sleep mode, black screens, no sound, etc, like Microsoft are a bunch of idiots. the ps5, while it did have some issues on earlier firmware, seems to be pretty solid now. I've also grown accustomed to trophies after not playing games for about 15 years, since they kinda show your progress through the game without you having to look it up (don't use guides). the only thing the switch has is cloud saving, and while I think they'll have bc with the next system after the switch, there are no guarantees. I like to have some sort of fingerprint, which is why I like trophies. I don't want them for bragging rights, just to know that I've completed everything for the most part. and, you already know about my issues with the series x. I mean quick resume doesn't even work with every game, and the problems I've had are from the normal power off, are unacceptable for a company worth as much as they are. I have no problems with the switch or the ps5. that's my two cents.

and, mind you, having to shell out the same for a gimped switch version as opposed to a ps4 or even ps5 version, which in every case but the last of us has been the same price, is bull shit. it makes no sense whatsoever. I'm a legit user, and I must say I'm very disappointed in Nintendo, more so than the other two.

The last atmosphere update has been a long time ago, time to anticipate what the next release will bring. A atmosphere release is more exciting

PS: you don't need to update to 15

I mean it's open source. You can just look at GitHub to see what they're working on before release. Nothing interesting it seems. https://github.com/Atmosphere-NX/Atmosphere/branches

 

[fvig2001]

Ooh so many updates already on the 15.0 branch. 11 commits so far while 14.0 branch had 41 commits. I honestly will probably wait for 15.1 since it's a pain to update multiple sd cards.

That's got to be the dumbest set of words to ever call an exploit. If I'm even pronouncing it right, it sounds like an overpriced perfume.

I'd probably call any exploit I find something silly but not pretentious sounding like that, y'know? I'd have named it Banner Bomb Rush Blush or something, both as a funny Wii reference and Splatoon reference. Or maybe something relating to how it relies on the RCM, and being tethered to a PC? Or considering how you "inject" payloads, it could've had a drug/needle related name? Like maybe NotMedicine™? (reference to a running gag in many gmod vids)

If my Mariko switch still has firmware 14.1.2 flashed on it and I don't flash 15.0.0, would there be a THEORETICAL chance, no matter how small or tiny, of installing homebrew? If not full homebrew, at least partial?

If this kernal bug would allow homebrew on mariko then you will hear about it pretty soon.

If you don't update for a while then you haven't lost anything really, so sure wait.

Do you know you can have private branches?

(I do love me some Splatoon... )

But yeah, they shoulda just called it Frozen Rocket in plain English then.

It's meant to freeze the rocket that want to fly over Japan.

By the way anyone updated yet? Please do post some thanks to Nintendo for their wonderful work that brought joy to so many children and adult alike all around the world.

I thank them, but they could slip some actual content into some of the updates... Like features. Or sell us themes in the eShop for gold coins.

Hey Apple already on 16 so Nintendo need to catch up.

Did you know that not everybody in the world's first language is plain English?

Well the dev team aren't even French but yeah

Maybe so. I just reckon "everything should obviously be named in English so it sounds right to me" isn't a great attitude.

 

[TomSwitch]

No worries, 16 will have a name that everyone is going to like, a market search is going to be performed and user feelings surveyed.

 

[NeoGranzon]

@mrdude ,of course!!!

The only reason it's called fusée gelée is because the two words rhyme and the first word is like the word fuse.

The english translation is meaningless, does it offend you?
