3.x simply means all firmwares which includes "3" as the first version number xD
Now the question is: if we get the CFW, we could play all Switch games, even the games which requires newer firmware?
No one should have updated after the initial TX announcement and they still did it. It's gonna happen now as well and in the end most of them cry about it afterwards.No one should be updating to anything,
@SciresM
now I expect the CFW
Now let's not get ahead of ourselves and pressure the guy. It'll be done when it's done. Remember what happened last time GBATemp peeps pressured a Dev.... Give em time.
If I read their wiki correctly one of the main entry points (memory controllers) was fixed on 4.x making it uncrackable (for now) so I'd expect CFW and the like to be out sometime this year.They won't release anything before it gets patched anyway.
The last firmware release was december 4th 2017, so if we are to trust their 1-2 month gap between new firmwares, we might see a 4.2 or even 5.0 soon.
I wouldn't say "hopefully", but for the sake to push releases out sooner, it wouldn't be too bad if some vulnerabilities get patched with 4.2/5.0
Well, it's Nintendo we are talking about, the ones with a HackerOne program which hasn't stopped hacking, the company which released nothing but "Stability" updates on the 3DS for more than 10 updates in a row, yet the console is still hackable up to the last firmware, and also don't forget the Wii and Wii U, which despite updates, are still hackable on latest firmwares.But they're the ones that know how their own machine works. They can just cross-reference their own documentation to what SciresM and his team found out, and patch it appropriately for future games. It's not that hard for a multi-billion-dollar corporation to play catch-up with a small team of amateur devs.
I mean, apologies for any fear-mongering you might take from this, but I'm just relaying a warning.

I won't link the article to avoid giving them clicks, but basically once they sound the alarm like that, Nintendo will probably notice and start devising counter-measures.
Devs don't come here as he have a pretty bad reputation (often on the RS server we talk about "GBATemp-like bs") but please don't pressure them.Now let's not get ahead of ourselves and pressure the guy.

That's also why you won't get an answer in there.
Kernel doesn't allow CFWTrustZone allows full hardware access.
Kernel allows CFW.
Userland allows homebrew.
Scires has mentioned in Discord that kernel alone could yield cfw, but would be like "stabbing yourself in the dick" without TZ.Kernel doesn't allow CFW
I believe it was "biting your own dick off"Scires has mentioned in Discord that kernel alone could yield cfw, but would be like "stabbing yourself in the dick" without TZ.
Edit: Reading back what I just typed I realize this probably means little/no effort towards TZ-less cfw, so you're technically right.
