Switch firmware version 12.0.0 seems to include code related to dock update
Posted on 4 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 0 comments
If you’re a Switch owner looking for new features and functionality, the console’s new 12.0.0 firmware may have come as a disappointment. The official notice mentioned that Nintendo merely fixed an issue with save data backups. However, after coming through the contents of the update, dataminers have come across an interesting discovery.
As relayed by Twitter user OatmealDome, version 12.0.0 apparently allows for the dock’s internal firmware to be updated. It’s a curious addition as there’s not much to the device – it only has USB chips, a MyDP to HDMI converter, and flash memory to store its firmware. It doesn’t seem as though Nintendo has ever issued an update for the dock, and there may not be much of a purpose in doing so given its limited technology.

Site health status update
Posted on 4 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in Site updates | 0 comments
Update: Contact form is working again, but we still cannot receive any messages sent directly to NintendoEverything.com at this time. Please use the contact form to get in touch with us for the time being.
If you’ve been wondering where we’ve been for the past day and a half: no, we didn’t take a break! The site unfortunately experienced a massive issue, but I’m happy to say that we’re back.
I don’t want to delve too far into the details since I barely understand the situation myself. The main takeaway is that our entire host went down and has yet to recover – additional websites other than just Nintendo Everything were affected. Eventually, we regrouped and moved the entire site elsewhere, and thankfully our constant backups came in handy. Due to the size of NE (we’re talking about 13 years of content here), having an extremely small team working on the situation (myself and one other person), and some other factors, it took a bit longer than we would have liked to get everything back online. It was especially frustrating since things were out of our hands initially – if the issue was specific to NE, we could have addressed things ourselves and gotten back online sooner.
