​

Welcome, December, and welcome, new Nintendo Switch firmware update. We have officially reached firmware version 11.0.0, and it brings with it more than just stability. Firstly, you now get a Nintendo Switch Online icon added to your home menu, which allows quick access to anything NSO related. The album has also been improved, as you can transfer screenshots directly from your Switch to a smartphone. As of this update, users will also be able to prioritize which games they wish to have downloaded first, when downloading multiple games at once. For those concerned over homebrew access, for now, it’s advised to not update to 11.0.0 until a new version of Atmosphere is released.

A new feature that automatically downloads backed up save data was added to the Save Data Cloud.

• When using software with the same Nintendo Account linked to multiple systems, save data backed up from one console will automatically be downloaded to your other system(s).
  *To use this feature, it must be enabled under System Settings > Data Management > Save Data Cloud.
  *Save data will not be downloaded automatically unless save data for that software exists on the console. The first time only, users must download the save data manually.
  *A Nintendo Switch Online membership is required to use the Save Data Cloud service.

A new Trending feature was added to the User Page.

• Users can check what software their friends are playing or have started playing recently.
  Information will not be displayed for friends who have their online status set to display to no one.

Users can now transfer screenshots and videos from Album to their smart devices.

• Users can wirelessly connect their smart devices to Nintendo Switch to transfer the screenshots and videos saved within their Album.
• For screenshots, users can transfer a maximum of 10 screenshots and 1 video capture at once.
  *To connect, users must use their smart device to scan the QR Code displayed on the Nintendo Switch screen.
  For more information, please refer to the Nintendo Support website.
  *“QR Code” is a registered trademark of DENSO WAVE INCORPORATED.

A new Copy to a Computer via USB Connection feature was added under System Settings > Data Management > Manage Screenshots and Videos.

• Users can use a USB cable to connect Nintendo Switch to their computers to copy the screenshots and videos saved under Album.
  * A USB charging cable [model HAC-010] or a USB-IF certified USB cable that supports data transfer is required to connect to a computer.
  For more information, please refer to the Nintendo Support website.
  * Connection via the Nintendo Switch dock is not supported. Please connect the Nintendo Switch system directly to the computer.

Users can now select what download to prioritize when there are multiple downloads in progress.

• When there are multiple software, update data, or downloadable content downloads in progress, users can now select which they want to download first.
• You can set this under Download Options by selecting the icon for the software you want to download first on the HOME Menu.

User icons were added.

• 12 user icons that commemorate the 35th anniversary of the Super Mario Bros. series were added.

Users can now name preset button mappings with the Change Button Mapping feature.

Brazilian Portuguese was added as a supported language.

• When users set their region to the Americas and their language to Português, the language used on the HOME Menu and in certain software will be displayed in Brazilian Portuguese.

Several issues were fixed, and usability and stability were improved.

Sir, just be patient. What proof could be offered that would satisfy you? A link to *someone else* claiming it will be done within 24 hours? Think about what you are asking for.

i'm literally just saying to those speaking in absolutes to show any proof that tx is actually working on an update since they so boldly claim they already are... it's not rocket science really.

 

[ut2k4master]

So the NSO on home menu is just a shortcut to the eShop page for it? Or what?

no, its a different menu

I am still in 5.1.0 cause I want to hack my Switch someday.

Rather heavy price to pay for a remote possibility.

 

[Sundree]

Damn, one step closer to them giving us themes huh?

 

[Mrperson0]

If your talking about keeping say 10.2 emunand and 11.0 ofw - This was confirmed not to work on TX. I personally have not tested it though.

Can confirm AMS 10.2 emuMMC doesn't work if a Switch has been updated to 11.0.

Edit: Never mind. Above test with Age of Calamity inserted into the cartridge slot. Probably same issue with that TX user.

 

[TomSwitch]

Yeah, I expected as much. See if there is any further support of SXOS. Not gonna bank on it. Fingers crossed for a new solution to replace the SX Modchips if that ends up being the case...

Atmosphere is almost there.

 

[Ryupower]

it might be a few days or so before Atmosphere updated, lots of under the hood updates

This is a really large update under the hood, so please give atmosphere a day or two to get updated with support.

I'll be working my hardest/doing my best :)

I heard people get a black screen, i'm not gonna update anyway for now, but what will happen to me if I do the update on my clean sysnand and keep using my non updated emunand?

Probably nothing

Holy shit, actual new quality of life features?? I'm impressed that they finally caught up the cloud saves to the same degree as what the xbox 360 and ps3 could do in 2010

Meanwhile, I'm stuck with a Mariko switch that came with 8.0.1, and the tab says "wait for homebrew." well...

we're waiitiing...

yes, I get that covid is a problem. geeze, I don't need SO MANY REMINDERS of it.

 

[Nevermore]

The whole thing about the Save Data backing up to other consoles smells like new Switch model prepping to me.

That's the best news I've heard regarding my Switch all effing year, yeesh...

it bums me out because right now I have a physical copy of Saint's Row 4 I've been wanting to play through on the go, and I can't even launch it because the game demands a system update before it'll show up. And I know I'm going to want to play NMH 3 when that comes out. I at least want to be able to do more with my Switch before that drops, you know?

 

[Smoker1]

Am I the only one who thinks that now there might be a Exploit looked into for the Image/Video Transfer? LOL

The more usable exploits, the better. And given Nintendo (Legal)'s attitude toward even fan games and community homages? Bring. it. on. I won't shed a tear for a company that is so actively tone deaf to its self-reported fans.

Exactly. Not to mention, Users will want to test the Limits of a System, no matter what. Also, I swear I thought Jailbreaking was Legal, just as long as you do not end up use Copyrighted means?????

Maybe at one point. Laws are always changing etc.

 

[huma_dawii]

I guess this is the ultimate test for all SX OS owners

Edit: Turns out they are not doing that, and they will update lol, nevermind, stop putting thoughts in peoples HEADS!!

Finally, now I don't have to insert my SD card into the computer to get me photos out.
sorry about everyone who uses homebrew tho lol
Edit: I didn't read all of it and realize it could be useless trying to make a exploit through a method that already works. man i am TIRED geez
