People in the wii scene said 3ds was unlikely. You don't have to be a named hacker to see patterns. The only thing that has ever kept a console from being hacked is a lawsuit
Last I checked the important 3ds hackers didn't come from the wii scene. That's the difference. The majority of the switch hackers came from the 3ds scene, so they have actual experience in both. And they have said it's far different this time around.
That's exactly my point someone else will come along. I'm telling you bro lol. Bunny huang did the xbox, dark Alex did the psp, twiizers did the wii, smea, yellows8 and the like with the ds scene. There will be someone more familiar with the security that will come along.
The shield portable is powerful enough to run anything that would run as homebrew on the switch. And at a lower price point. I still don't see why anyone would buy another switch just for homebrew when other devices are much better at running homebrew natively at a lower cost. The one thing I've heard people look forward to for homebrew is emulators, which is one of the main things I use my shield portable for.
Then slay the snake (Microsoft started this... not Sony or Nintendo). Also protest? I'm not paying for online anyway so... I guess I protest already?
For the sake of saying they did it I guess. I bought the switch to play its games. Homebrew? It's nice to have the option, but it's not integral to me enjoying the platform. People confuse me.
I also don't care much for emulators since the only games I wanted emulated would never probably never run good on the switch like GT4 from PS2 which even on my I7 at night races it lagged like hell on my old GTX570, didn't test on my RX480 though...
How do you figure? Nintendo's online does not appear to be a server side thing, or mostly server side thing (though this not fatal to this), and there have been plenty of such things before. Indeed it is mostly an effort thing, with no money and no bans for customising games historically being the two main driving forces.
If you had taken the time to read the thread, I've already proven that it has been done before for various consoles and can be easily done again.
I've said it a million times, but you can't base anything off of other consoles. ESPECIALLY much older consoles that had much worse security.
Well, considering current Gen consoles are based on the architecture of their predecessors and networking hasn't changed at all in the past 20 years, I'd say youre basing that on an ill informed opinion. Those "much older shitty security systems" were the last gen. Not atari's.
You are factually incorrect on literally everything you've said. All three consoles changed architecture, and networking protocols have changed too, and they constantly change. I know because I had to learn it as part of my Cisco CCNA training.
Then explain nonemulated backwards compatability and the fact I can boot w98 and browse google.
Ps3 had ps2 hardware in the phat, everything else actually is software based backwards compatibility.
So again you are factually incorrect about "nonemulated"
Did you just quote me twice? The switch is marketed as a the next gen home console but is actually a handheld. An upgrade of the ds/3ds. Which is also arm. Which is also the console we're talking about. Don't get so caught up in being right that you lose sight of what we're argueing.
For the sake of quoting twice, there is no reason why an alternative online service cant be made. You tunnel the network connections of several consoles and create a centralized service to manage it. May take a fully exploited system to circumvent security, but it is possible. It's been done, is the part you guys keep ignoring.
That's like saying because one arm device is hacked all arm devices can be hacked. Which isn't at all how it works. Arm is the architecture, but they are completely different chips with different instruction sets and hardware. The 3ds and switch are not very similar in terms of hardware other than architecture, which again means nothing. You won't be playing ds games via hardware compatibility on the thing, you'd need software because the hardware isn't similar enough. You need more than architecture. You have very limited knowledge in how hardware and networking actually works. And given you've given nothing but false information so far you have nothing to back your claims still. You were wrong about the architectures of the other two consoles and wrong about non-emulated backwards compatibility. Just leave it to people who have an education for and work with hardware and networking. You seem to not really know what you are talking about.
I'm saying the same thing about you. If you're going to tell me I'm wrong about the possibility of third party online services, then the burden of evidence is on you. If you can't explain directly why it isn't possible without argueing several other tangents, then your input means nothing. I've seen it done on systems a gen prior to the switch. The only problem I see is security, which is only an issue of time. So instead of telling what a misinformed fool I am, share that authority of expertise and enlighten me. Why isn't it possible?
