October 2018?i've held my switch hostage for 2months now without update, i will be getting oddysey, please let me know if we will most likely go through all october with NOTHING so i can just fkn update. lol
October 2018?
It kind of sucks having just bought a Switch and not having anything good to do with it.
Honestly, I'm just hoping for a "Prometheus" type of situation like there was with the PSP, where games that needed 6.00+ fw could be decrypted, patched and then re-encrypted using 5.xx keys to work on 5.03 GEN on the PSP 3000. Same thing on the PS3, patching games that required a higher firmware version with 3.55 keys.
Would dumping and decrypting Switch games need a kernel exploit? Or would ROhan (userland) be enough?
I'd like to see the Switch kernel running on an Nvidia Shield TV. I wonder if the system image can be cloned and installed on the Shield TV..
I got Pokken Tournament DX today just to play with this, but before I do I am unclear about something... in the instructions it says to use the IP of the machine running PegaSwitch as the DNS and then run a connection test. My worry is that the switch can only access my machines IP if it is connected to my network, which has the internet. My question is, is it safe to run on my network since the DNS will be pointing to my machine, and not the internet? Or should I set up a mobile hotspot on my machine and simple disconnect it from the internet, and connect my switch to that?
If you have to ask such a question you should be careful with pega. You can brick your switch...
You'll be fine, set it up like you normally would, then go to internet settings and change your DNS and point it to the Ip of your computer, at that point it won't be online anymore and is redirected to the pegaswitch server.I got Pokken Tournament DX today just to play with this, but before I do I am unclear about something... in the instructions it says to use the IP of the machine running PegaSwitch as the DNS and then run a connection test.

Hmm, if he just fork the public version, I don't think he can as Pega is pure memory stuff?
The only way this would happen is if someone leaked their encryption. Crypto has come a long way since the PSP, you're not going to somehow find/have the keys to decrypt higher FW software, and they could always (and will) change it if hackers get closer to higher FW compromises that could threaten their software.
Either someone leaks them (never going to happen, and they would face potential jail time) or you crack higher FW software to a similar degree as how far we are now and bypass the encryption by letting the Switch read the software as it would normally and then dumping said software in a raw form.
I am aware that the DNS would prevent the Switch from accessing the internet, but was worried if (possibly)
A) You cannot edit the DNS setting before choosing a network ala 3DS, and
B) Upon choosing and confirming the network Nintendo might try to snipe my firmware with an upgrade
I just wanted to be clear that these were not both true, as if either were true individually it would not be a problem. Upgrading my Switch after all the trouble I went through today would be a bummer, although it sounds like from what I've read on the ReSwitched site that there are in fact other exploits that they (for obvious reasons) will not reveal until they are already patched, so an accidental update wouldn't be the end of the world I suppose. It sounds like from what you guys have said though that its safe.
As for bricking the device, I acknowledge the risk is very real. I am a decent developer, but this is like uncharted territory for anyone (outside of Nintendo). That said, as the good book says,

The one thing I really want is a fw spoofer so that we can play newer games on 3.0.0
only way that is going to happen is with a flashcardThe one thing I really want is a fw spoofer so that we can play newer games on 3.0.0
i guess then bring on the flashcartonly way that is going to happen is with a flashcard
