Lately, I’ve been seeing a lot of posts asking questions that have already been answered in the community’s pinned posts. Honestly, it’s getting a bit exhausting. Even if you’re a newcomer and have no idea how to perform certain actions, there’s this magical thing called the internet. How hard is it to look up some information instead of creating a new post without even doing a little research beforehand, especially when the questions have already been answered? So, here are a few tips and recommendations from someone who’s also a complete newcomer to the Switch 2 scene. 1. The only entry points you really need to know about Forget everything else for now. The only methods worth keeping in mind are SmileBASIC4, CiVSwitch, and any of the demos based on the Artemis engine. 2. About 90DNS and Nintendo’s firmware update requirements I’ve seen a lot of questions about 90DNS and why Nintendo seems to be forcing users to update their system firmware to use SmileBASIC4 and Civilization VII. After doing a little research, there’s a theory that many users have 90DNS configured while IPv6 is still enabled. This could potentially cause DNS settings to be bypassed, eventually allowing the console to connect to Nintendo’s servers. This might explain why some users are being prompted to update their firmware before they can use these applications. 3. What about games running on the Artemis engine? For now, the issue mentioned above doesn’t seem to apply to games based on the Artemis engine, such as Nora Princess, Seedsow Lullaby, and others. However, the Seedsow Lullaby demo is no longer available in any region, so unfortunately, there’s currently no workaround for that particular entry point. 4. Got a firmware update notification and want to get rid of it? Turn off your console, then power it back on while holding down both volume buttons. This should boot your console into Maintenance Mode. Once there, simply turn it off again. This should clear the pending firmware update and remove the notification. 5. Have Civilization VII but haven’t gone through the process yet? There are two options. The first one is to follow the instructions provided in Gezine’s repository: https://github.com/Gezine/CivSwitch Here’s the link. If you find the process a little complicated, I’ve also put together a private playlist containing three videos that should be helpful: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLE3Z\_egH8WqY&si=xugfQyiSO\_N6Ih27 One of these videos demonstrates how to carry out the process using a modded Switch 1. 6. Are you just an average user? Then don’t do anything. Leave everything as it is. Disconnect from the internet, enable Airplane Mode, and keep enjoying your physical games and whatever you already have downloaded. There’s no need to rush into anything. 7. Please avoid unnecessary posts. This subreddit is already flooded with pointless posts. If you’re going to share shitposts, at least make sure to use the appropriate flair so people don’t mistake them for actual information. 8. If you’re not on X, you’ve been living under a rock. Here is a list of accounts worth following if you want to stay up to date with relevant developments regarding the Switch 2 jailbreak scene: https://x.com/sonic\_iso?s=11 https://x.com/coxxs?s=11 https://x.com/yufrombg?s=11 https://x.com/gezine\_dev?s=11 https://x.com/\_\_alula?s=11 https://x.com/jamesmykil?s=11 https://x.com/ravensclawx?s=11 https://x.com/pepsipu?s=11 https://x.com/byizmysh?s=11 And that’s pretty much everything I wanted to cover. I’m sure I’m wrong about quite a few things, and there are probably people with much more knowledge who will want to correct me. Everyone is welcome to contribute, share their knowledge, and use this post as a community resource where we can all help each other out. Have a great day, everyone, and God bless you all!   submitted by   /u/starina988 [link]   [comments]
