Yeah, Pokemon SwSh doesn't have a lots of cheat support at 1.3.1 so I want to revert back to 10.3 but I can't start the game because the require update message. Try to remove ticket and reset version in goldleaf but it still not working. Delete the game and reinstall with old update isn't work either. Anyone have any idea how to do it?

Devmenu will do the trick for that

If you have a newer system version, or a save file that was played with a newer game update, then there is no way for you to reset the required game version if Goldleaf's reset required game version option didn't work.

That being said, there are plenty of cheats for the latest version of Pokémon Sword. Also, why is anybody using cheats at all with the existence of PKHex?

It is recommended that you update Pokémon Sword to the latest version and use PKHex or presently available cheats.

I was on 9.x.x and used to use NXrepack (I think it was called) to extract the NSP, and rebuild for lowest possible firmware. Most games worked for this, but in the end I just updated the firmware and update AMS: it’s easier.

IDK about cheats btw. Never used them.

Which CFW are you using? If you're using Atmosphere there is really no reason for you to stay on a lower firmware.

Yeah, no one write new patch for no exp share to work. The last update only work on 1.3.0 and the author specifically said there will be no update.

No, not firmware version, it is game update version. It check if you have the latest update or not and won't let me start playing if it not the latest one.

use DBI.nro to delete the update and reset firmware then use lithium or tinfoil to install the update

@linuxares is probably confused because you said 10.3 in your post, when you meant 1.3.0.

If you're on a high system version, the system knows you need a game update, and there's no way to fix that if Goldleaf didn't work, unless you downgrade your whole system, and that's not recommended for a lousy cheat for no exp share. In addition, if your save is from a newer game version, it might be impossible to downgrade without using an older save file.

My recommendation: Update to the latest game version and forget about it.

I see, so it is impossible after all.

Your issue is probably the system version, so it's probably impossible without downgrading the whole system and/or using an old save file. Yeah.

Also, if you downgrade your game version, you won't be able to play wirelessly with other people who are likely on the latest game version.

    i thought everybody knew cocktails are like 75% ice
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Yeah but not like this.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It's not like they're complaining that their Slurpee is 99% ice or something, but if the cocktail calls for "shot of vodka, shot of vermouth, shot of gin, shot of Campari, three shots of juice, squirt of lemon" and ends up being a thimbleful of booze, that's a problem.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    the funny thing is cocktails in norway are only allowed to have 1 20ml shot of booze
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    so..... yeah
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    we're used to only having a thimbleful of booze

    Booo.

    same thing if you want whisky on the rocks or something, you can't get a double
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    but you could buy as many shots of whisky (or anything else) as you want and ask for a glass of ice and pour them in
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    it's dumb
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Maybe.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    There was a comparison of the number of Ibuprofen poisonings before and after they limited the maximum dosage per box or per pill (i'll look that up). No limit on the number of boxes you can still buy as many as you want, so people argued it was pointless.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    But the number of (accidental) poisonings dropped because drinking an entire package of ibuprofen pills went from "I need a new liver" to "I need a new box of Ibuprofen".
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Here we have ketoprofen that used to be prescription-only because of the risk of toxic dosages, but then they halved the dose per pill and sell them in bottles of six pills apiece instead of twenty and it doesn't need a prescription any more. Yes you can buy more than one bottle but people simply don't.
