The Nintendo Switch Has Been Hacked

[mrz84]

So a few different groups of people were doing some homebrew stuff or whatever and discovered a flaw in the hardware that could be exploited to hack the Swtich. Some people are already putting gamecube emulators on their Switches. But that is not why I'm making this thread.

It seems the hardware exploit cannot be fixed after the Switch leaves the factory of origin, in otherwords all Switches currentlly available can be hacked and Nintendo can't do diddly squat about it. Ever. So what does this mean for you feelow Switch onwers here? That's up to you on what to do with this info. I'm not gonna post the source on how to do the hacking (you could probably find it easily via google anyway) because ToS stuff (pretty sure that's under there along with emulator linkage so I'm gonna not do that)

Have fun with that.

Good, hope this costs them dearly.

They'll most likely just make sure the exploit is gone from all future Switches they ship and that will be it. In all honestly I'm not really one for throwing emulators onto consoles via hacking since I keep my older consoles anyway. This will probably not effect them much, but who knows?

Are there any Gamecube games that are worth playing on the go? I mean for the most part console games are designed to sit and pay full attention for a decent amount of time, and I know you can do that with the switch but I've mostly used mine on the go.

[mrz84]

Honestly can't say anything other than possible Paper Mario or maybe Luigi's Mansion (that's actually get a 3DS port so whatever)

So remember how the Switch was hacked via an exploit that can't be fixed? Well The Big N is cracking down on anyone who does by banning their Switch.

Being able to play games without handing them a penny after they called gamers, their own customer misogynists is more important than having access to online features.

Being able to use Quick Extender Pro regularly and play games without handing them a penny after they called gamers, their own customer misogynists is more important than having access to online features.

Wait, Nintendo called their fans customer misogynists lol? That actually rings true so much these days. And not only for Nintendo fans.

Handy guide for fandoms in current year:
Don't like the course Nintendo is taking -- misogyny
Don't like the course Star Wars is taking -- misogyny
Don't like the course Marvel Comics is taking -- misogyny
Don't like the course DC Comics is taking -- misogyny

Well, sort of. You have to read between the lines. By which I mean you have to see things that aren't there.
