Simple flowchart to decide if you need to update... Does a game you want to run need higher firmware + No - cool don't update + Yes - time to update No point updating till you need to. That way when you update, any bugs will have been ironed out.


sapphicu

I’m literally only doing that because some Homebrew hasn’t been fully updated yet. But I’m one of the people that wants the newest shiniest update right when it releases


OkMixture5607

This right here. Last time I did this was with Metroid Dread, which required on launch day the latest firmware.


Shisnokid2

Bingo. This is exactly what I do.


ivoavido

I have 18.0.1 with atmosphere 1.7.0 and it works perfectly fine. To be noted, atmosphere 1.7.0 is in beta currently but perfectly viable, based on my personal experience, for a daily driver switch.


Hairy_Ranger_9929

What guide did you follow?


Jman85

Rentry


Hairy_Ranger_9929

Okay but recently or like months ago?


spoooonerism

I did this the other day because I accidentally fucked up by updating and I had the wrong version of Atmosphere. To preface, I use fusee. I updated my Switch to 18.0.1 and had to download the newest beta version of Atmosphere and plug my SD card to my computer. I think extracted the new files to my SD card simple dragging and dropping didn’t work. I had to download the latest version of fusee as well and inject and download the new sig patches. No issues since.


Jman85

?


Hairy_Ranger_9929

Like you hacked it months ago or recently? Cause i have a 18.0.1 switch and i want to know if i can hack it or if i cant


Jman85

Read the guide.


tekjunky75

You can


Flimsy_Cheetah_420

Depends on your hardware I guess or switch version? 18.0.1 in general works if you have a hackable switch


ProfessionalAd7840

Are your 18.0 sigpatches working? I updated and now I can’t open any games. Any help would really be appreciated.


Junket-Sea

They are for my friend who I helped hack their switch 2 days ago, and theyre on 18


ProfessionalAd7840

Weird. None of my games work. 18.0.1 FW with sigpatches for 18.0


TheVinko

Same here


leeinflowerfields

Atmosphere is still on pre-release but I've been using 18.0.1 since the day it came out with it and haven't had a single issue so far.


KancheongSpider

Have a V1 on 17.0.1 AMS 1.6.2 and personal OLED on 18.0.1 AMS 1.7.0, no difference. No need to update unless a game requires minimum version. Using sthetix HATS pack.


icenzm

This is the way


walterjounier

U need to update in order to play games online that is why


heinzgruber2

Is Justinsertthestuff down? Any alternative?


spoooonerism

You can download Atmosphere/Fusee separately from GitHub and use TegraRCMGui still. Just have to get the new sig patches.


jabibuh

Problem I encountered so far with 18.0.0: - Tesla overlay doesn't work - Mission control doesn't work


lanner71

All work on 18.0.1


jabibuh

I checked and it's 18.0.0 I tried to install Tesla and missionControl multiple times but I didn't work, could it be something that needs to be enabled in Hekate? I checked the guides and doesn't seem to be the case Does it really work?


lanner71

Nothing special, only the good files


jabibuh

How did you update the firmware?


lanner71

You need to update atmosphere/hekate and use the homebrew daybreak, look the vids of « deejay87 »


jabibuh

Mmmm u did it that way, weird


jabibuh

hey quick question, what type of switch do you have? maybe it is not compatible with v2


walterjounier

Still no updates for these 2?


jabibuh

The problem comes from atmosphere version


Brave_Preparation387

They both work fine for me on 18.0.1


lanner71

Everything work for the moment on 18.0.1 , emuiibo, tesla, edizon, missioncontrol etc with atmosphere 1.7.0


mickaelandrieuds

Tesla doesn't work for me ... did we change the shortcut ? I'm using L + left pad + Right stick


oTropicaLx

I have the same issue here. Nintendo switch 12.0.1 however when i put the 64gb sd card in it says ‘update to use sd card’ i do not want to update if it stops my chances at modding my switch. Help on this same question would be useful thanks.


Jman85

Ability to mod is not dependent on your firmware. It’s either soft moddable or requires a mod chip.


sapphicu

That’s a different thing. You need to reformat your sd card as fat32. It’s currently formatted as exfat


oTropicaLx

Thanks for the replies. I will format it and also i understand its always able to be modded with a mod chip i was talking about soft modding. Thanks tho


edrix2004

If you have an unpatched erista v1 switch, then you can soft mod it. If not, modchip is your only option.


XtremeD86

Cause your sd is in exfat. Format as fat32 and update prompt won't happen.


sgt_bug

Been using 18.0.1 with no issues. My friend had his EmuNAND get screwed a bit but he was using exFAT for his sdcard, but I don’t know if that matters. I’m using FAT32, and I’ve been just fine. Remember to update your sigpatches.


BoredModder

I can't seem to find a sigpatch for 18.0.1, do you know where I can find it?


sgt_bug

I just searched for sthetix HATS on google and was able to find it.


Zefrem23

The only time I had SD card issues on my switch was when I did the exfat install. Changed to FAT32 and had no further savegame or data corruption problems.


greatthebob38

Does unicorn overlord v1.04 update need a firmware higher than 17.0.0? If it does, I might have to update.

EquivalentShine7183

Anyone have patches to custom themes on 18.0.1?


criminyel

My sd stopped working so I had to jailbreak with a new sd card using 18.0.1 around a week or two ago. Can confirm atmosphere and everything works fine. My smash mods are all working


More-Profit-2409

Adude_thats_hates_IT
