For this mod I used a 32 gb sandisk micro SD HC. Im hearing SD XC cards are not compatible because they ask for update to system which you want to avoid. Also here is a link that talks about firmware and how to update to 3.0.0 if your firmware is lower switchbrew.org/index.php?title=Version_Table
8 Bit Flashback hey I got the switch with 3.0.0 but when I put my mini SD card in it says A system update is required to use the microSDXC memory card.
DEE981 i believe my card is hc not xc. Mine is just a cheap sandisk 32gb. So sounds like memory card issue. also you can try formatting it on a pc fat32 format then put back in switch to see if it works.
PSA: On Windows 7, 8, 8.1, and 10, you do NOT need WinRAR, 7-Zip, etc. to extract ZIP files, as Windows allows you to do that within the Explorer. You only need external applications to extract RAR, 7Z, and other archive formats.
This will be possible on all firmwares of the first model switch soon thanks to an exploit related to the tegra chip, so buy one asap if you want cfw/homebrew, its a matter of weeks before the fabled new model comes.
got my switch yesterday i was kinda scared seeing that 5.0 firmware was out i was SO revealed to find out i fell on a switch that was on 3.0.0 by default :)
it has been done! still, they need to get it actually running in the switch's os. the best part is, it works on any firmware and is unpatchable (unless you have one of the new consoles, which, as far as i know, aren't being sold yet.) so, 17.8 million hackable switches out there.
I kinda dont wanna be that guy and this pretty cool and all but.... Wouldnt it just be easier to buy a tablet for less than the price of a switch and just run through that?
They are hoping or tying to rip the carts so they can all get free....Err... I mean "back-up" games so they don't have to support or buy anything. Just like they did with the Wii and Wii U.
@8 Bit Flashback Great video! My switch is currently on 3.0.0 but lately been seeing many cfw vids on 4.x or 5.x I am just curious what benefits we still have being on 3.0.0? Also latest best CFW method currently available? I did see Team Xecuter has their own CFW which involves you to purchase their dongle
If Nintendo ever sorted their virtual console out, as in uploading every old game, letting me play one purchase on different devices and setting a price cap of say £5 for the better ones, I’d have given them hundreds by now. I think loads of people would have.
??? He's not talking about default save location, he's talking about backing up to SD, which very much WAS prohibited to prevent hacking. The time it takes to write a save is negligible anyways. People run entire games from SD. A save file isn't gonna make a difference
lyianx They only wanted physical releases? Cuz the default 32gb was not going to cut it. If that's the case then they didn't think very far ahead and should've put a much larger storage, like a terabyte at least.
What are you talking about? My comment has nothing to do with physical releases or the internal storage size. Also, news just broke that D-ram manufactures considerably jacked up the price right around the time Nintendo was finalizing and starting production of the Switch which in all likelyhood affected the cost of internal storage. So i really find it hard to blame Nintendo for the storage, and more blame Samsung and the other few d-ram manufactures. If they hadn't jacked up the price, Nintendo would have likely shipped with more internal storage.
I haven't bought a switch yet, mainly because there's no way to download and play backup switch games so far. My wii can handle all of the emulators as it is by far the BEST console to play emulators on
is there a way to flash a new switch with this firmware needed ? i was looking at getting 1 but its only new from stores here or on ebay no sellers saying what firmware it is.
This is considered to be an old hack for the Nintendo Switch. There's a hardware hack now that works regardless of the firmware revision. Keep an eye out for a hacker group called FellOverFlow. Proof of concept coming soon. Nintendo has been advised of this Tegra chip flaw. So you can expect to see a "New Nintendo Switch" on the store shelves soon with improved features and a chip that can't be hacked.
Hugo Silva i believe they have got switch games running on pc switch emulators but not on switch consoles yet. Posting videos about actual backups of switch games will probably get pulled from youtube with copyright claims so it might be a while before we see videos on it.
8 Bit Flashback Thank you for your answer. I was only asking if you know when will it be possible to run backups on the Switch. I was not asking you to post of it. Thank again.
No worries i just was letting you know why you probably wont see videos about that for a while posted from anyone. Being its new copyrighted games Nintendo will be on top of it with flagging those videos.
I got my switch at launch I've done a few updates since but none it quite a while. Right now when i try to check my software version it just says theres an update available. Is there another way to check what version in running? Or what would happen if I tried to install homebrew on a system past 3.0 0
kublaikhan1215 it's true that the latest hardware exploit lets you run things on any firmware but it's better to stay on lower firmwares (at least below 5) until we have more information because it might be easier for CFW to be installed

Tbh i would love to homebrew my switch but after hearing that nintendo will ban consoles now, I dont wanna risk it. I've homebrew my wii u but aside from that, thats it.
Samponsite 23 you can but if the switch gets any errors when playing or testing out a game it causes your console to reset then you have reconnect to internet to run homebrew menu. Picodrive, snes9x , and pfba seem to be fairly stable and error free for the most part so i can play those offline.
Great video! Not for me (don’t want 2 switches)... but btw it’s just called the root (of an sd-card) not the rùh... had to listen a few time too understand you ;)
Reality Jake alright good lol, I see too many people saying that homebrew means the switch is ruined even though we're like years from any hacking on online games being possible
Magic Lemon Years? Maybe, piracy is the real issue and that isn't years off, I doubt it's even months off. It's the reason the PSP stopped being supported even though it sold exceptionally well.
@@wschippr1 3 years have passed, and no working *SWITCH* pirated games... Yeah, its still years from happening. Maybe when nintendo releases their next console and stops supporting the switch
If u do hack your Switch say for instance like in this vid, is it gonna compromise anything? Like for the future? Say buying new games for it? I'm just heaps sketchy about doing it. If theres no problems it'll cause then I might think of doing it. I might watch a bunch more vids on it. Its probably why you've bought 2 I'd say. Mmm tough choice!
@@Yukki64_ but i guess thats a patch, thus it's patchable Xecuter also bricked switches if you wanted to have fun in it's code, and sucked as a *paid pirating software*, using other ones using the same method as you would get the xecuter to work work better and are more open to user modifications, soooo

Yea I personally used 7-zip back when I used Windows. Nowadays the GNOME Archive Manager is my goto (Looks better than 7-Zip or WinRAR :P).
Oh shit I clicked this thinking it was an April fools joke and was totally surprised! Great video, I'd try this but i'm on firmware 5.1.0
Yea i thought about doing an april fools joke saying it works for 5.0.1 but i figured i would piss a lot of people off so i decided not to.
8 Bit Flashback thanks
8 Bit Flashback I was gonna be pissed lol
Glad i didn't lol
Same here.
still waiting for 4.0 hack
I sold one then bought this one for modding
Hey c cat
Probably isn’t going to happen.
it will eventually
It won't. Fail0verflow's hack method is fully hardware-only, and I doubt he'll ever release that hack method publicly.

Imagine getting Dolphin to run on this.

You can do that on anything. That's like hacking a PS4 to play PS1 games.

This will finally make the switch worth getting
Cool, but if I install the homebrew launcher hbmenu, will I get banned Nintendo for that?
Hope to see a version for firmware 5.0.1 in the future
the gensis looks like if it had some vsync it would be fine it seems to be just some screen tearing
Sadly I’m up to 5.0.0, and I can’t even purchase another Switch, so I’ll just have to wait for a new sploit...
Thanks My Dude!
sweet. will this only be removed with a reboot? can you keep it by putting it to sleep mode? :)
Erik Johnsen yea sleep mode works but quite often you'll have to go ahead and restart the process anytime you get a error
Thank you :)
it just shows me the prompt to look at details
If Nintendo ever sorted their virtual console out, as in uploading every old game, letting me play one purchase on different devices and setting a price cap of say £5 for the better ones, I’d have given them hundreds by now. I think loads of people would have.
If I were to play a game online. Would it still be safe for me to have Homebrew on the Switch? Or would I have to remove Homebrew.

@@gremsa but at least its better optimised and lets you play online...
Switch Online.
And everyone wonders why Nintendo doesnt want to allow saved games on the SD card.. THIS is why. Because that is exactly how people hacked the Wii.
lyianx or because... You know.... Saves are tiny and infinitely faster when saved on the hardware directly.
??? He's not talking about default save location, he's talking about backing up to SD, which very much WAS prohibited to prevent hacking. The time it takes to write a save is negligible anyways. People run entire games from SD. A save file isn't gonna make a difference

Try again
must a older video, i heard you're suppose to hold r when launch to hb menu to release max ram
Will you get banned when you do that?
Of course not, just dont play online with pirated games
My biggest question is, do people really used microsoft edge?
only really EDGY people. Or to download a different browser lol.
@@plasmaoctopus1728 nice pun lol
This didn't take long
When modded is there a work around to play newer games that require a higher firmware like Mario Odd. and Smash?
Animeist72 Mario Odyessy is unplayable on any version under 4.0.0 so no to the higher framerate
Does your Nintendo Switch still run regular games?
Yes
Is there an updated video for this? The error message I'm getting is 2110 - 3127.
Thats not a glitch. Its screen tearing. Does the emulator allow you to force v-sync ?
Prolly. Retroarch makes it an forced option, if i remember correctlly
I haven't bought a switch yet, mainly because there's no way to download and play backup switch games so far. My wii can handle all of the emulators as it is by far the BEST console to play emulators on
affansonicfan when you say "backup", you mean games you've downloaded off the internet, right?
Robert Higgins that's right. The term "backup" is just an innocent term labeled on pirated games lol
affansonicfan That's a lie psp is the best console to play emulators on.
GrChrisandGrGiannis Chris you have a point. I absoulutely love playing GBA and GB games on the PSP, however SNES and N64 emulators are not very good.

Isn't be possible to flash any version of the firmware now that we can use the bootloader properly?
Yes
But you can just homebrew it using the bootloader too
What firmware does the Nintendo Switch come with now?
John Jones hard to say newest firmware is currently 5.0.1
I have a gift card and I could buy a Switch but I want to do this hack. I do want to gamble and get 5.0.1. Thanks for the info.
will cheat codes work?
One question
If you remove the SD card will it leave any traces of it?
I think the homebrew "channel" wilk remain, since it's triggered from the system's Album page/tab
I cant get the error it doesn't show up
But I can't access my screenshot now on album.
Please help?
I have a Nintendo Switch on 2.2 firmware can that be HomeBrewed or do I need to update it to 3.0 firmware.
Did you ever find your answer?

Can i do the same for the current version as to what you did for this?
No
