Nintendo Switch Firmware 4.1.0 released
Nintendo has published Switch firmware 4.1.0 a few hours ago.
The official changelog doesn’t say much except for a fix with a recent motion controls bug:
- General system stability improvements to enhance the user’s experience, including:
- Resolved an issue that caused motion controls to respond incorrectly when playing games that use the feature
It is unknown at the moment if the update fixes any security vulnerability. If/when hackers find out, such information will be made available on the dedicated page of the switchbrew wiki.
The last publicly exploitable switch firmware (in usermode) is still 3.0.0 as of now. If you’re waiting for hacks and homebrews on your Nintendo Switch console, the best to do for now is to stay on a lower firmware. Hackers have recommended to upgrade to firmware 3.0.0, but there is no public exploit past that.
As with all modern consoles, the easiest way to achieve the best of both worlds (hacking and gaming) is to have two consoles, one for homebrew (that you’ll keep at a low firmware) and one for gaming. At the time of this writing, Amazon have the Switch available at MSRP (temporarily out of stock but will ship as soon as available).

The switch scene is full of drama queens like the ps4 scene’s qwerty.

He’s right.
I agree. He is.
HA, so very true. So was the PS3 scene until it eventually blew up, but I digress. Updated my PS4 for Origins (which ended up being a mistake on my part), but don’t see anything happening yet with that.
Queerty…
First!
*its
Idiot.
Stability intensifies
It’s ineffective!
Is there a recommended way to avoid updates besides disabling the auto update in the system menu? I’ve seen posts about proxys and alternative DNS servers, are this necessary?
As long as you keep it in airplane mode you should be fine.
Oh, so no way to get online without the risk of getting a System Update?
Does this update fix the discovered USB debug mode?
