Hacking UPDATE 4.0.0 RELEASED

[boscocraftXD]

So, like always the switch has a new update.... and this one is major. We can now transfer saves from one console to the next.... could this be a possible exploit? Or do you think Nintendo is going to make this overly difficult?

Naw, I think when you deactivate one console and activate another on the same Nintendo Account it will transfer the data over. That means all save data is uploaded to a server when an internet connection is available.

The instructions state that both systems need to be connected to the Internet, but it doesn't mention both have to be on the same network.

This update also includes 30 second video recording (…only for ARMS, Breath of the Wild, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, and Splatoon 2), synchronizing game updates with nearby consoles, and pre-loading eShop games… Oh, and apparently new icons from Odyssey and Breath of the Wild.

Also video recording.

The instructions seems like it will work the same way as the 3DS system transfer. So the data goes through Nintendo servers, but it's more of a direct transfer than a backup / restore.

Shoot, only 30 sec vids. Nothing more.

Server authentication is the biggest problem here, and unique Switch signage.

I wonder if a blacklisted Switch could even transfer saves. Probably not.

Yeah I read that now.

At leat we got system transfer much earlier than the Wii U. We didn't get the fricking system transfer till 2015 on it, and it was so freaking slow, beause it was sending the data through the Gamepad IR sensor.

Yeah no, not gonna happen.

If we are in 3.0.2 should we update to 4.0.0 or not?

Modern attention spans can't handle anything more anyway.
In fact, you could say .... <zoogie changes tab back to cat videos>

That sucks. So if one day Ninty decided to stop the online service, all Switches will become garbage. At least Sony let you backup your saves to external devices.

(And that means homebrew is more important than ever just to do backup w/o Ninty.)

I'm sure that it will not come with 4.0.0. I was asking because sometimes they announce like 5 days later a new fw is released to not update sometimes and I don't know if I should.

@iAqua Remember when I made a thread on a potential exploit with Wii U Chat, and got destroyed? Thought the same would happen here. Guess it was just me.

After the Wii U, you think they'll just throw another browser out there?
