Good and bad news+

 

[omegasoul6]

Brace yourself for the noobs to start asking how to run their Switch roms.

 

[EmanueleBGN]

Reminder that Vita dumps existed years before the thing ever got hacked.

3DS roms dump too

 

[the_randomizer]

My question is how on earth were they even dumped? And yeah, get ready for the influx of "where can I get Switcch gaemez?"

why does it always have to come back to OH NO PIRACY , OH NO THIS WILL BE BAD , OH NO

AP sycophants will undoubtedly lose their shiz over this. I don't see anything being viable with dumps for years. Same with Wii U, Vita, 3DS, etc.

what's the bad news?

what's the bad news?

That dumps somehow equates to a console's death. Which it doesn't.

Do you think there are any exploit found yet? I mean, private and not released yet

 

[proflayton123]

This is, good for the scene but also a negative? Well, running backups seems to be a future worth living for

Who knows? Personally I couldn't give a rat's ass about Switch ROM dumps or even loading them, I just want emulators lol.

Awww... Does Nintendo need more:

• Further improvements to overall system stability and other minor adjustments have been made to enhance the user experience

?

They need to cut the PR BS and just say "fixed exploit that can lead to unauthorized use", instead of sugarcoating it with crap.

*goes to youtube and sees 30000 videos on cartridge dumps and how piracy will come within the next month, and then troll videos of people like "i hacked my switch already"*

ooooooooo so this is why everyone trolling

 

[retrofan_k]

i cant believe the people who did this, piracy is gonna end the switch im so ashamed of this toxic community sometimes, another psp situation smh. if were lucky piracy will happen after the gen is over so my friend nintendo wont suffer from lost sales. cant imagine all the third party publishers looking at this thread right now already dropping switch support.

Piracy has never killed a console you mong and nothing can be done right now to use these dumps, which the same can be said with PS4 and Xbone dumps released by the same release group. If you don't like it here then leave.

As i said one post afrer, FAKE NEWS

 

[petethepug]

It should be intresting to see how Nintendo handles themselves with the future. Considering people are hacking this thing so early on it sounds like we could get CFW or Homebrew in no time.

(and maybe at some point flashcards.)

Yeah, the click bait and fake scam vids will appear soon enough after this news, along survey crap to fake downloads.

Where is you're source for fake news? Bigbluebox are a known release group that releases PS4 and Xbone dumps, which have been available for a while now.

to be fair you are preaching anti piracy on a hacking forum. so theres that, lol.

but there isnt exacly a direct correlation between piracy and a systems failed sales, take a look at 3ds. its still going on pretty strong, and new 2ds is still gonna make sales, because nintendo is the master of selling you the same sh!t twice. the nintendo wii, everybody went crazy for, and it got piracy pretty early on. now take the dreamcast, which had no copy protection, failed instantly.

 

[AkitoUF]

Well that didn't take long.

 

[BlastedGuy9905]

Errr... This has absolutely nothing to do with the kernel -_-. And it has zero purpose anyways, OMG I PLAYZ ON OMGNSWEMULATR ON ANDRIDNGAT

Ugh. Why, did you want your system hacked and then games dumped 2 years after?
