Sorry, this post is really out of date... I can't keep up with all the news around the Switch anymore due to personal stuff.
I'd love if someone would help keeping this up to date tho! Please contact me via DM and we can arrange something, thanks

Like in the "old Wii U days" where we had an active and ever so blooming thread with Homebrew, Discussion, Suggestions, Drama, Trolls and more I'd love to see something like this for the Switch again.
This is the reason for this thread. I'll try and update this post with useful information as much as I can and you guys can help doing so! If something new arises from the hacking community simply post it in here and, if possible, mention me so I'll see it instantly. I can then easily update this post to reflect the newest and hottest Switch news.
Of course, inspired by @filfat and a huge thanks for the Wii U thread he made which sadly over the past few months went more and more inactive.

- None
FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions)
- Can we run Homebrew yet?
No. It's far too early but the hacking community makes steady progress.
- Should I stay on FW 1.0.0?
Probably not. You'd have no way to run the exploit since there's no browser or anything else helpful.
- Should I update beyond 2.0.0?
No, stay on 2.0.0 for now since everything still works like online play and downloading games when using the above mentioned DNS.
Yes, Nintendo has disallowed low-firmware Switches to go online. Update to 3.0.0 as long as you can.
- What's with all these Emulator videos popping up online?
All fake. These are simply videos played via the web browser with some of the above mentioned tools.
