 Hey everyone. Yeah, I know crappy webcam again. Sorry My main camera's fine. I'm just having some lighting issues I got this new really bright light up here, and it's like messing with the other guy I got some adjustments to make but that's another you know there We have some big news to talk about here when it comes to Nintendo switch aka the switch pro Okay, I know it's not really a k a but actually we do have switch pros up to talk about because Nintendo did a really weird Firmware update a firmware update that seemingly did nothing before I get into that I gotta remind you I haven't done it a little bit. So don't get mad at me We do have a giveaway going on for $100 in cash money to enter All you got to do is subscribe to the channel comment on this video You get additional entries for commenting on every video in the month of April you get 10 entries for commenting on podcast episodes Details and all this are done in the description or the pin comment. All right So we have this information from Nintendo's 12.0 update so if you guys haven't updated your search is that go ahead and do it the patch notes basically just say hey look We fixed a bug with the data save backups And this is really really strange because the data save backup system and fixing a bug with that Well, that's nice in every then those cloud backups. It's nice to fix But why would this be a 12.0 update the prior version by the way was 11 point zero point one They literally jumped basically a full version. They didn't do anything in between Normally these like minor system updates are in between versions not full updates full updates contain things like new features The you know, the new little red Nintendo switch online icon, you know, the ability to reorganize our games That they usually contain like a slightly major feature or at least a significant one for some reason And this one didn't accept something's been discovered in the firmware So let's go over to Twitter So oatmeal dome is a well-known switch hacker And he says it appears the 12.0 point zero update has added the capability for the Docs internal firmware to be updated Can't see an obvious reason why cradle is the Docs internal name thanks to switch route and its maintainers So, okay, you know Cradle firmware updater don't input returns. Okay, so whatever right like okay So Nintendo is including this ability to you know update the doc Which is interesting because as you point points out the doc itself only contains USB chips a my DP to HDMI converter and then flash memory to store its firmware I'm not sure what the point of an update would would be considered how basic it is inside So I'm aware it has never received one before so yeah What's far as we're where the doc has never been updated before and this updater doesn't even claim that it's updated anything It's just it's giving the ability to update the doc And that's weird because the only real thing on the doc that you could think could be updated is the USB ports the USB ports are Like techno odd like technically technology wise their USB 3.0 ports That's what I was trying to go to but they don't run we've proven this over time They don't run at USB 3.0 speeds. They're running as USB 2 ports. You could argue a firmware update Potentially might be able to run them at USB 3.0. We don't know for sure We'd have to know what the exact USB modules are on the actual board It's possible that while the ports themselves are 3.0 It could have just been because they're in mass production and super cheap and the actual module on the board is only a 2.0 module We don't know this for sure You don't start ripping off chips and all this stuff to figure that out So at this point, we're not even sure that it can run at 3.0 despite having 3.0 ports But you could argue anyways, okay, maybe Nintendo is finally gonna enable those 3.0 ports Which really aren't going to do anything for Nintendo If anyone thinks this means oh, no, this means you can hook up an external GPU You know, we're gonna get that external compute device that was in those patents years ago No external GPUs run on USB C and Thunderbolt Exclusively those ports are twice as fast if not faster than USB a 3.0 ports And even on those faster ports the GPUs are still gimped. So yeah No, this isn't gonna be for an external computing device I know the only reason really upgraded to 3.0 would be I guess for better latency with wired controllers Maybe I don't even know I mean Maybe Nintendo is gonna release like a webcam module because certain webcams obviously run way better with USB 3 So there are devices out there external devices that are better with USB 3 and specifically USB 3.1 But as far as we're aware, there's not really anything in the works for a Nintendo that should matter or need that kind of dock update But turns out there's more details in this. So when you leave it right here, you're just kind of like a whatever Where does switch pro come into play? We'll scroll on down more information here What's this say? Nintendo switch for more update about my earlier tweet about the 12 point will be in the upgrade the dock firmware There is also this setting is crda underscore FW underscore update underscore supported CRDA is Cradle dock for Alula Alula is the codename for the new switch model We learned that Alula was codename for the new switch model a while ago from scryers M and others out there But here you go here it is CDRA FW update supported. This is not referenced really anywhere else CDRA again Alula guys This is an update This is an update for well, you know according to Mike Heskin here is backing this up By the way, this is an update that looks like it's specifically for the upcoming switch pro It's an update for the new dock now again We don't have that dock and as far as we're aware this update has done nothing to the current dock So here's what this does kind of confirm it I think we've always known the switch pro is gonna have a new dock, right? It's going to have a new dock I think we've always known that the current dock cannot output at 4k Even if it wanted to it just can't it doesn't have the capability it doesn't have the right HDMI port It literally couldn't do it from a hardware perspective So they were gonna need to have a new dock anyways if you were gonna get 4k output and this update appears to be for that Now you might say well why the hell do they have an update for a platform That's not here and not even announced publicly yet Because devs have it and these updates also go to dev units and when they go to the dev units It updates their dock what this update does to their dock. We obviously don't know because we're not developers does this change Potential outputs does this change specs, you know is Nintendo locking in the final specs for docked mode Is that what this updates about even though you would think those specs would be internally? Maybe they're not maybe they're handled through the dock Maybe it's it's changing power delivery on the dock to hit and certain I have no idea We don't know what this update does because we don't have a dev unit We don't have a dev unit in our hands to look at what this update factually changed on the dock And I don't we're gonna hear about it because despite the fact that we have had some leaks from the dev units come out to the public in terms of capabilities of the switch pro We're not getting everything people seem to be pretty You know pretty stick to it when it comes to the NDA on this platform, which is fine Nintendo is Very very sticklers about the NDA stuff So the fact we've even heard the dev units out at all is already kind of a miracle So yeah, this is just this is something that we're gonna have to keep in the back of our minds That this is just another confirmation our second confirmation in the firmware that switch pro is real guys We've been talking about this for a while that hey everyone's looking for evidence everyone wants to know How do we know the switch pro is real? Nintendo's already referenced it once in a prior firmware update and now they've referenced it again with something That's updating the dock which already goes to just further evidence that we're getting like a doc update at all Is already evidence but having the doc update specifically reference a Lula is We got it folks which pros coming It's not like you didn't know already But for the doubters out there the evidence keeps stacking up and I get it for some people until Nintendo announces it none of it matters and I understand that sentiment just get ready. Am I saying E3? I don't think they're announcing an E3 and I realize when E3 comes and goes and it's not announced all the people that are doubting It are gonna be like ha ha suck it all you people. It's not real wait till September. That's all I'll say Wait till September ends wake me up When September ends Yeah, I just green-dade your ass. Alright guys. Thank you guys so much for tuning in I am Nathan and RoboJazz from the center prime and I'll catch you in the next video
