Homebrew PSA: we don't know anything about homebrew or piracy on Switch

[Kolyasisan]

So It's been stated that you can update console's firmware through the other switch. One with the new firmware can send an update to the other. I think this is a thing that we should investigate when it releases.

When gen 8 Pokemon games come out on this we are going to have to breed again if its not hacked by then.

I'm sure that people want to hack the Xbox's security, they just can't. You'll see with the Nintendo Switch, some smart people will try to hack it and they won't be able to do it.

Nothing is hack proof if you're dedicated enough, have the technical know and the required resources, equipment and money.
Strategies such as lockstep cores or asynchronous clocks with dummy cycles may go some way to make life difficult but a FPGA based glitch attach
will generally work out eventually once the glitching parameters are deduced (which of course is the hard bit)

I went ahead and made this simple little website to help people out.

hastheswitchbeenhacked you add the com to the end. Just a simple statement that it's not hacked yet and how many days since the official release it has been.

I dunno, I was bored. :-)

Just got my Switch and I don't plan on playing any online games soon (got Zelda to keep me company). I'm wondering if it would be cautious to hold off on updating for any potential Switch hacks or exploits that may come out. On every other console I've owned I've always missed out on the initial homebrew scene due to always keeping my consoles up to date. Anyone else going to hold off on updating to see what may happen in the next few days / weeks?

if you really want to be among the firsts to have homebrew, then yes, dont ever update your console.
personally, i prefer to keep it updated to have all features offered by nintendo. ill stop updating when temp begins to talk about potential exploit coming soon, even if theyre not released yet.
thats what i did with my wii u and my 3DS

doing that usually gets you to the second wave of exploit which is sometime more stable, like with the wii u and the 3DS

I'm pretty sure the Nintendo Switch is hacked for homebrew

What the hell are you talking about

Seeing how awesomely pc's are with ps2 emulation, I'll say no, or at least not at any playable speed.

pc emulate perfectly ps2, why does the switch couldnt emulate it?

1. They don't.

2. Lack of raw power.

you ARE aware of how much slower ARM processors on the whole are, compared to even cheap pc's, right?

oh i see, youre the kind of guy who wants 120 fps, not a single frame drop, no glitch at all, am i right?
then go buy a ps2 and maybe youll get that.
for those like me who can handle some frame drop and play at 30fps, todays ps2 emulator are perfect
