Team Reswitched has made their webkit exploit toolkit known as PegaSwitch available to the public! The newest version now supports up to firmware version 3.0, and comes with an Open Sourced SDK known as libtransistor so homebrew developers can get started on the console. They -even- released a Switch Homebrew emulator (they made it clear it will not emulate games) so you can debug and test homebrew without having to use the Switch every time!

With Switch homebrew still in it's infancy, don't expect anything crazy for a while still... but what an exciting time for the community!

Nice to see they finally opened the homebrew development to everyone.
It makes me want to buy a Switch, but it's a little expansive just for PongSwitch

That's a joke of course, there are games I want which will be released soon, but will require an update... no, I won't buy two of them!

 

[m_babble]

Nice! Keep up the good work, ReSwitched! Looking forward to watching the developments!

 

[Sketchy1]

dosent it sting to now see how they've sacrificed online play for a bit?
granted it was only for a bit though

 

[netovsk]

Hi,i think it would take some time ,years probably (and i hope because the console is begining to make developers decided no create more games for it).Team Reswitched is smart and i am sure they will only release an userland exploit which would allow homebrew,emulators,modding games-saves?(i wish they create some tool as wii Riivolution/Cafiine),install game updates without fimware
upgrade ,fimware spoofing ? i hope this

Don't you remeber the 3DS CFW drama in 2014? It can happen.

Maybe there is a God 0.o

Anyways I can't wait to see how much this improves in 6 months.

yes,i know it can happen but i wish it take some time.I will lie if i said i never pirated some games nor i like CFW but i think
the best for the console successfull is it take its time : if the console is easily pirated the developers,more in concret 3th party which are begining to trust on switch will stop and it is contraproducent.
if you wanna play pirated games buy a wii u and enjoy its amazing games : it is a console which would have no more huge games.

In fact ps4 dumps was available some time ago (and i am sure than probably backup loader was also) but until recently it has no been available.

Imagine playing local multiplayer homebrew Tetris with the two joy-con.

 

[yardie]

Wow

 

[The Catboy]

I guess I have to eat my own words.

 

[Costello]

Keep up the good work Sonyette

There's this vicious circle on consoles: the more console units there are, the more developers are interested in making games for them, and the more games there are, the more people are interested in buying the consoles, and so on.

It's why Nintendo invests heavily into a good games line-up at the beginning of each console they release, to get people interested in buying the consoles, and once enough people bought them, more developers are interested (because nobody wants to release a game on a platform that barely has any users).

...and piracy can help with that.

I have collected around 30 "legit" PSP games since I bought a PSP Slim the day 3.60 M33 came out - games that I would've never bought otherwise. Think of it this way, the PSP was hackable since day one and piracy was rampant on the damn thing, but developers took a look at those 50 mil units sold and said "yes, there's a large potential market, we'll release a game on it", while on the Vita it was just the opposite. I think the lack of piracy is what killed the Vita. If more people bought the Vita (outside of Japan), developers would've released more games on it. I'm sure of it.

 

[Taffy]

Yaaaay we're making progress!

we have full control now

Can't wait to see the first non-browser exploit for this thing.

 

[yardie]

Ok time to buy a switch

Good luck getting one on 3.0.1
