Hacking Huge exploit found on firmware 3.0.0: smhax

[ScarletLetter]

Sorry if this is too off-topic.
Out of curiosity, is there any way to update games while blocking updates from Ninty?

No, there is not.

 

[8BitWonder]

No, there is not.

Alrighty, good to know.

Thank you for the quick response.

i think he means retroarch released by the retroarch devs

But for it to get on the Switch wouldn't you have to have a Nintendo-approved cartridges or Homebrew or some other hack to install or run it?

Probably been asked already but what firmware are new Switches currently sold with?

2.3.0

you know nothing yet
lol

 

[Kioku]

The reason I love and hate exploit announcements.. Speculation..

 

[chartube12]

clearly dumbass

access/registration/unregistration to/of any arbitrary service.

2.3.0

Well that's somewhat useful. I might try to push for finding a new one somewhere since there's nothing I want to play on it, haha.

And are there any cartridges that force 3.0 upgrade?

 

[Kourin]

RIP, updated to buy Sonic Mania. ;;
With any hope because the Switch will be blown more open people can find something new too.

3.0.0 is not needed for this exploit. It yields no real advantages over 2.3.0 at this point.

clearly you admit we know nothing

I have a feeling you aren't the first person to feel screwed by a Sonic Title.

What we DO know? It's like root for the Switch.

my god, did you read what I quoted?

"access/registration/unregistration to/of any arbitrary service."

I get that. It's a bug that exists on everything there and prior. Just was curious if there was a way to get to 3.0 without too much hassle, haha.

Whelp, time to start digging for a Switch before the native firm is too far along. Also, wasn't there something about firmware spoofing not being possible with Switch due to some hardware stuff blowing fuses or was someone spouting random stuff?

 

[thomasnet]

It was about downgrading.

Its kinda like the post 7.0 Situation on 3DS with Gateway.
The keys to decrypt the game werent available, so they wouldnt start.
