Hacking Should I stay on firmware 1.0.0 or Update to 3.0.0 ?

[yardie]

You're welcome.

but my point still stands, that on 1.0.0 , the OP wont be able to play alot of games until this emunand gets released...if it even does

If you update to 3.0.0, and an emuNAND solution comes out for 1.0.0, you can't go back to 1.0.0, because of eFuses (tiny connections in the CPU that burn off after each update).

efuse prevents downgrade

That's true.

@AzizR
The SwitchHaxing Reddit wiki lists some 1.0.0 games if you'd like to know what you can and can't play on 1.0.0 at the moment.

You found a 1.0 Switch new?? Lucky! If I were you, I'd go out and buy a lottery ticket right now.

Where did you manage to find a 1.0.0 switch

in my country you can find 1.0.0 FW everywhere (no one buy's Nintendo's Producers) , they are a little bit expensive (i bought mine for 450$ with a starting pack kit and Mario cart and 2 animal crossing amiibos)

And don't believe the whispers of snake oil salesmen.

Now I suppose you could argue ends justifying means in one case, but considering how we got here, heh I'm sorry this comment just gave me a bit of a chuckle. :|
Also if you've been paying attention (and I know that you have) for whatever it's worth, the one you are referring to found a pretty good snake.

Doesn't hurt to wait until you've actually seen the snake.

Its oil might work out well in the beginning, but what if your arms fall off after a few months?

Perhaps I should have used the word 'talented' instead.

1.0.0 will take longer, but has exploits that will allow emuNAND and playing newer games, unlike 3.0.0. I would wait

 

[ShadowOne333]

If you are on 1.0.0, my suggestion would be to wait on that version if you are interested in hacks and the most juice out of homebrew and possible CFW.
The "Update to 3.0.0" motto mostly goes for users which are between 2.0.0 and 2.3.0, as right now the only development is being done in 3.0.0.

But yeah, try to stay in that version the most you can.

I just bought a new switch and it came with firmware 1.0.0 ... Should i update to 3.0.0 ? and what is the best way to do so?

Stay on 1.0

The spread of information is very convoluted at the moment due to several large announcements and teasers. But the lower your firmware the better, and right now 1.0.0 is the golden firmware.

1.0.0 > 2.X.0 > 3.0.0
If anyone reading this is on 2.X.0 and thinking of updating, hold off. SciresM has mentioned on the Reswitched Discord that there is a good reason not to jump to 3.0.0.

I'm on 2.3...should i buy pokken, just in case? isn't possible to play games >3.0.0 in the future?
Otherwise I update , i really want to play to mario odissey and already bought it

Pokken is your call, imo it would make sense that a hack allowing 3.0.1+ games would come to earlier firms (besides 1.0.0) before it came to 3.0.0. But who knows if Nintendo is going to start rolling out 3.0.1 Pokken cartridges too.
As of right now it's only confirmed that 1.0.0 will be able to play newer games with emuNAND. Though Team Xecutor's teased product claims to be able to bypass security features of the switch that may allow firms higher than 1.0.0 to also load 3.0.1+ games.
If you can wait, my advice is to at least see what Xecutor's product is capable of before updating. They mentioned either a release or more details (can't remember which) in Spring 2018.
