Plus, what you're doing is EXACTLY what OP was talking about. He thinks the guy just used that trick to display a simple website. He doesn't believe there is actually an exploit being used there.
Hacking The Switch is NOT hacked.

To clarify because some people here seem to be confused:
Going to random web-pages and (obviously) executing javascript there has been possible for a while and is not hacking at all.
The new development is that there is an exploit for the web-browser which gives us some (very limited) permissions. That is an actual hack exploiting a known vulnerability that exists on the switch because Nintendo shipped their console with an outdated browser-engine.
If you want to learn more about it here is some kind of proof of concept using this exploit that somebody made. (not doing anything useful yet but it proofs that the vulnerability exists on the switch)

Looks to me like its just a video being played in the switch browser. You didn't actually think it was hacked and able to play PS games right?

no that one is false. How do I know, well no one is able to work that fast. the only reason the webkit exploit was discovered on switch is because the ios hacker from 9.3.3 decided to test it by stripping down his ios code, and just having a webkit exploit, which lucky for him it worked.

There were code dumps ~48h after launch, the iOS dude was extremely late.
Oh yeah, totally forgot about that. Was this also through the web browser, or through some sort of hardmod?

What is the actual story? Is there a known vulnerability in the Switch or isn't there?
There's threads saying there is and threads saying there isn't. I'M SO CONFUSED

There is a vulnerability and since a few hours ago an easy way to exploit it to call system-functions as the webkit-process (still not really that useful for the end-user)
https://pegaswitch.com/
Right, the switch has a vulnerability, so I'm assuming the purpose of this thread is to unnecessarily point out the disparity between a console having a "vulnerability" and a console that is "hacked"
The two definitions have been interchangeable for as long as i can remember.
Well they better hurry.
It'll silently connect to any available open hotspot or Public Wifi with an access program, connect to Nintendo's servers using a specialized encryption channel and rotating IP addresses, and then automatically installs the update when it's analytic engine guesses you are away or asleep. There is a core function where on wake from sleep or startup it will connect to Nintendo's servers the same way and downloads a tool that detects currently used hacking shenanigans, such as spoofing the firmware version. If any is found it will download an up to date clean image and reset itself to factory defaults.

Doesn't work. It will still silently connect. Why do you think the Switch can only get 4 hours of battery at times?

Sicklyboy:
I'm not familiar with the technicalities of the differences between the two versions, but I'm wondering if at least some of those differences are things that you could port over to the US version in your patch without having to include copyrighted assets from the EU version -
@
TwoSpikedHands:
@Sicklyboy I am wanting to fully change the game and bend it to my will lol. I would like to eventually have the ability to add more characters, enemies, even have a completely different story if i wanted. I already have the ability to change the tilemaps in the US version, so I can basically make my own map and warp to it in game - so I'm pretty far into it! -
@
TwoSpikedHands:
I really would like to make a hack that I would enjoy playing, and maybe other people would too. swapping to the EU version would also mean my US friends could not legally play it
-
@
TwoSpikedHands:
I am definitely considering porting over some of the EU features without using the actual ROM itself, tbh that would probably be the best way to go about it... but i'm sad that the voice acting is so.... not good on the US version. May not be a way around that though

@
The Real Jdbye:
@TwoSpikedHands just switch, all the knowledge you learned still applies and most of the code and assets should be the same anyway -
@
The Real Jdbye:
and realistically they wouldn't
be able to play it legally anyway since they need a ROM and they probably don't have the means to dump it themselves -

@The Real Jdbye it hasn't given me any error trying to write things on it so I don't really think it's faulty (pasted 40/50gb+ folders and no write errors)
