Ready for an update? Nintendo has just pushed out a new firmware for the Switch, bringing the system's software version up to 12.0.1. Per usual, "officially", this is just a stability update, so keep an eye out and wait to see what's really under the hood before you update your Switch, if you care about homebrew.

Ver. 12.0.1 (Released April 19, 2021)
General system stability improvements to enhance the user's experience.

Minor update; Atmosphere 0.19.1 works totally fine. https://t.co/W3my32fm4M

All these updates so close together.

Cant nintendo make a good system, as we never see any improvement, botw still lags.

But wait, they cant be arsed to make new games either.

Maybe they're implementing a means to track sx os activation as its odd their website is still active.....

It's not that stable, I tried to update from ninty servers and now have the blue screen of death. I couldn't get rid of it so now I am flashing a nand backup to restore.

Cyberpunk has a lot to learn from Switch's stability updates.

More stable than my aunt's failing marriage.

Computer, find a funny stability joke

I cannot hold that much stability! OMG!

The Switch is getting the 3DS's stability.

That's an interesting thought. Which console has had the most updates?
3DS: Nintendo Support: System Menu Update History

Switch: Nintendo Support: Nintendo Switch System Updates and Change History

Looks like the 3DS had 60 updates and the Switch is up to 38 so far.

I updated to 12.0.0... and almost all my homebrew got seriously borked up. I can't Use Tesla, forwarders or Checkpoint anymore. If Nintendo didn't screw me with the first update, they'll definitely do it with this one

This might now come as a surprise to you, but it generally makes sense to check your homebrew applications for updates/whether they already support the latest firmware version before updating to said firmware version and then complaining homebrew apps don't work anymore

Just a few more versions and it will be as stable as the 3DS.

Tesla is working fine for me on 12.0.0 w/ atmo 0.19.1. I just had to update all components of it (Tesla-Menu and nx-ovlloader).

My sisters, best friends cousin came to visit and she brought a brother who was her now sister and she had her niece too, and she had 3 dogs and one was 2 toed and it stepped on the update button, now what do I do? jk but waiting to see those posts.

Any news on bluetooth audio for sysver 12+?

I didn't see any support for it updating my OFW console to 12.0.0, and don't expect to see it when I update to this version. Or ever. I don't expect to see it ever, because Nintendo's pretty much given up on rounding out the Switch experience it seems.


As of my thoughts on all this, check @Scott_pilgrim's full signature.

No it's getting the NES's

If people would actually check rather than doing the same old overused joke. They seem to have fixed stuff with the bluetooth function of the Switch. So yeah, it might actually be proper to use of the normal Nintendo lingo.

Also they updated NgWord2... for some reason.

You mean expecting Tempers to actually do a bit of research instead of making the same tired fucking jokes? Surely you jest.

Yeah I'm asking for to much, I know.
