I don't know to be honest, this'll probably be open source in the future but, it's really just something I wanted to do to kinda skill myself. I love the portability of the Nintendo Switch (especially during travelling) and for me personally, the console will always be better than any emulator, even if it's my own.

Yes, the console is much better. Laptop with emulator also can be portable but no fun with it and many problems. Switch has been made for giving best experience, which is called as Handheld and Console (HAC), and I can use it anywhere as I want.

I'm in shock people haven't been shouting FAKE!!! etc with no real proof, usually topics like this end up in a fight about if the thing exists or not :/

Looking forward to the video today :D
Same here, to be honest. Even if that was the case, I believe the best way to handle a situation like that (as the poster/presenter) is to just not argue at all. If you truly know what you're working on is real, then it's real. I respect everyone's opinion, and if someone says it's fake and it isn't true, in the end the best thing to do is just ignore it and not get yourself involved.

No release, no source, no questions, no nothing. I see zero reason for this thread to even exist. Are you in need of attention, dear?
Dammit @lintu you jinxed it

Why you're so impatient? This is a very early project. If you're very impatient, then go and use Yuzu or RyujiNX.

Can we get some sort of video or something?

Yes. Once it's been released, me and my friend will make showcase video about it.

Can't miss it
Happy to follow the progress, you have technical documents for your progress? Reverse engineering?

Reverse engineering and coding are not same. Who don't even know coding, he/she can do reverse engineering also.

My point of view, and that if you don't know a programming language, how can you understand what you are disassembling? ( Or understand what you're looking for, and where to look)
I understand your point, but I don't know anyone in this case.


Hello,

A very good knowledge of the x86 (x64) assembler is a prerequisite for reverse-engineering (RE) under most common O.S.

That said, the assembler does not do everything and it is impossible to get away from the underlying system (Windows, Linux, etc.), because each system has its own specificities: executable format (PE, ELF, etc.), system API, internal mechanisms (allocation, scheduling, etc.).

For the BR, the assembler is therefore only a necessary basis on which to add many other concepts and knowledge that must be put together to have a general idea of the target being studied.

As far as languages are concerned, C and C++ are very important because of their dominant shares in the world of programming and also because they are "close" to the machine.

I would advise you to learn C in parallel with the x86 assembler. Compile your own programs in C and see what they look like when disassembled (beware of C++ which can be quite difficult to understand when disassembled).

Welcome to the exciting world of RE

Got it, but I know a guy who does reverse engineering. Anyways, it may go off topic. But understood what you wanted to mean.

Okay, no problem, you and I understood each other.
See you soon
Just that when I was studying computer science, the best section was the ones learning reverse-engineering and language, assembler, we went through c, then the best ones learn to assembler it, but what could be more difficult than that?..
( or very hard malbolge) never used But here you can see the kind of

We learn at school that only the best hacker (Re) can offer his services in computer security, because he would be the most competent.
