Homebrew Switch Hacking & Homebrew Discussion

[Kourin]

Could it theoretically be possible to perform a jpg-exploit by attempting to open a modified .jpg with the built in image viewer?

Just tried replacing a screenshot with an image of the same dimensions and file name and it comes up as 'The data could not be displayed.' Also I can't edit/post it anywhere so perhaps that's out of the question.

What about using the method in this post

To navigate to a custom website that enables homebrew, similar to how browserhax on 3DS worked?

Obviously someone will have to discover an exploit and figure out how to code one into a website but at least we have a way to navigate to any website "natively" on early firmware (works on 2.0.0 and 2.1.0)

Maybe we can get matching checksums

just curious, any way to strictly update to 2.0 from 1.0, instead of 2.1?

Sadly there is no way to not get 2.1 when updating, but the homebrewing for switch is kinda early. I would recommend to still update from 1.0 to 2.1 as it will ad some great features and hopefully the amazing modders on switch hacking forums will find an exploit later on to get homebrew other ways.

eh, well too late already. I'll just have to put a sign on it for the future saying "do not system update"

This, homebrew likely isn't going to happen for a year at best. A couple at worst and it's not going to be anywhere near 3DS-tier for a long time. You may as well update now, even if you miss out on an exploit the console being open to others is going to speed up the process of finding other entrypoints for later firmwares.

I buy my switch this week end so i will update it and it will be in 2.1 but anyway by the time it is hacked it will have other exploit and i might find some too

 

[BlastedGuy9905]

yeah... um...
i updated to 2.1.0
(im pretty sure you already know my question)

 

[KanterZ]

I'm about to get my Switch and I was wondering..
How do I update to 2.0 (considering that 2.1 is already there, if I update normally, I would be at 2.1)

I don't think there is any way to currently choose specific updates. I believe some have tried but I haven't heard any updates on the matter.

 

[TimX24968B]

honestly, its a little early to decide something like not updating to latest.

 

[linuxares]

Jesus just update already. Any exploit on 2.0 will most likely work on 2.X as well. That first "exploit" wasn't really anything useful for us peons anyway.

I was on 1.0.0 version and then asked me for update. Now I'm on 2.1.0 sh*t

honestly, theres nothing for the regular user yet, or even close.

Yes I know. I think nintendo is improving the web browser. Because they must know they have vulns because of the web-kit

And now 2.2.0 is out

 

[ARMster]

Is there spoofing only up to 2.0.0 for the Nintendo Switch?

 

[Justin20020]

And even if homebrew is possible on the switch, it takes time to get some homebrew apps on it (like games, ftp, custom theme, emulators, etc)

Hello


I now have version 1.0.0 on my switch. (In this version there is no internet or anything useful) then I was thinking about updating the switch but I did not know if it was going to update to version 2.0.0 or some later. Anyone know? Thank you and sorry for my English.

2.0 was probably the best time for you to update. Does the webbrowser thing for logging into access point portals even exist on 1.0? If not your boned. Updating to 2.0 isn't possible now since a later version is now available. If you do a system update it will update to the latest available firmware.
