Scene developer Zecoxao might be known for their contributions to the PlayStation hacking world, but this time around, they've got something major for the Nintendo scene. The longtime scener teased the existence of what they claim to be a $3 modchip for the Nintendo Switch, and which is said to work with Mariko and OLED systems, though not patched Erista consoles. A teaser video was also uploaded, where the modchip itself was revealed to be a Raspberry Pi--specifically, a RP2040 Zero unit, soldered into the Switch board, demonstrating Hekate launching on an OLED unit.

Given the tease of "coming soon", we can expect to see more details about the exploit eventually.

i see, totally forgot about the other thread. some big developments over there from what I'm seeing

Maybe. They sure talk about encryption a lot atleast

 

[saladus]

encrypted code is better than no code at all i guess

What other thread are you talking about?

[impeeza]

i mean it's still gotta be stored stored somewhere right? or is it stored on the chip itself?

yea sure om the coder's hard drive

Ok so, in this thread as far as I understood, people are throwing shet at each other... but anyway it would be great if someone could please explain to me what is happening now to the software, it seems like it got leaked (?)

Well, everything is calm, if it had leaked the communities would be crazy but not everything looks calm so I doubt it

It did get leaked, but as it's encrypted, it's currently not useful. The firmware is keyed to an individual RP2040-Zero and will not work on another, for now.

Thank you

I am just gonna say it, this isn’t coming out

We've got a leak and that's enough for us to reverse engineer for the time being to figure out if it works or not.

We have video proof of it working, and the firmware for the chip has leaked. It's going to happen, just give it time.

Idk how real this is but this just popped up

 

[saladus]

here's the archive so you guys don't have to go through ads to download. kinda busy rn, can't analyze it.
