There's a new custom shell for the left joycon that gives it a proper dpad instead of buttons
Nintendo consoles dating all the way back to the NES with the lockout chip have always been the red headed stepchild to hackers/modders/exploiters. Always being the target of a good flogging. And I think it may have something to do with Nintendo's philosophy. You play by our rules, do as we say, and maybe, just maybe, you'll turn a profit. People started making NES cartridges that bypassed the lockout chip, because Nintendo wasn't playing nice with their licensing program. At least that's how it started out. Now, I have no idea.
Either way, it's funny that Nintendo has taken this long to tackle security for their consoles in a serious manner. Now...if only they put that much effort into their online services...
Do you have a link, sir? I did a search but I can't find a d-pad shell for sale. I see people have modded their own though.
Amazon, seller BASSTOP. Includes other shell parts of various colors.Do you have a link, sir? I did a search but I can't find a d-pad shell for sale. I see people have modded their own though.
I hardware mod my equipment. I can make it have delicious M&Ms for buttons if I wanted. Its quite the fun little project, and even if you screw up its just 50-60$ bucks and not a bricked Switch!
I expect Nintendo to launch d-pad joy-cons any way.
That's what I plan to do if a good 1st/3rd party solution doesn't present itself. Mod in a d-pad that it. Not the M&M buttons. Though since they melt in your mouth, not in your hand, it might be a good implementation. That could be frustrating for friends who are playing your Switch though.
Friend: What button jumps?
You: The 'M' button.
Friend: Which 'M' button?!
From what I'm gleaning of the Switch's security, downgrades are impossible, combined with specific version upgrades being difficult (can only upgrade through online AFAIK), if an exploit is version specific, folks are really going to have to be careful about how and when they update their Switch.
You can cart upgrade, but do have to mindful of print runs and changes in the loaded firmware (and other signed patches) in newer runs. Exploits being version specific is a problem because of the downgrade protections. Going up is always easy, going down is impossible.
So the problem will always be that someone will find themselves at a higher firmware and be stuck.
Being at a lower firmware will take all of one visit to eBay to find the right cartridge!
So they're still doing upgrade-on-cart nonsense? I thought they would have learned by now.
still confused about the fuse system... since the burned fuse count changes from fw to fw there must be some sort of data flow which tells how many fuses should be burned in the current fw. Can someone explain to me why it should be impossible to intercept that flow (on a compromised system) and compromise the value?
(Sure this won't be enough to fw spoof (keys missing) but im curious about this fact)
Wondering what that game was ?First Vampires win the Splatfest, then I find out I have a game that's worth 400 bucks and some other expensive games laying around in my house and now this? What a great night.
the only reason I havent had an issue with the hax thing is that without context I wouldn't even know pegaswitch is realted to hacking the switch, not everyone is always in the ring of knowing everything going onBacking a name off of what it uses is different from using the same naming scheme for almost every exploit. It's lazy to simply take the exploited item and slap *hax on the end. No creativity in most 3ds exploit names.
