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

[baselhamad]

The Wii U is pretty stupid, but the 3DS has better security IMO. The main issue is that Nintendo changed the way the 3DS' security worked a few times, opening new security holes in the process. (They did change it, right? or am I just remembering something wrong?)

yes, they changed the 3ds security by locking up browser for 3DS which makes no one launch homebrew launcher on 3DS by browserhax, and they did an automatic update for 3DS to force you to update, they even changed the 3DS to prevent installing Legit or not legit CIA games or apps.

Can't wait for the bad switch game by ubisoft.

I fully expect the first attempts of piracy to be flashcart based since the console is going back to cartridge for media storage.

With that said, someone should email Gateway about it.

Can someone please tell me if ps4 Neo is hacked yet

Also Nintendo are fools to allow internet browsers in their gaming systems. Do people actually use those seriously when the average user has a PC or phone which greater specs and features to browse the internet with.

Lets hope the Switch comes with a browser too.

It was not so long ago that we were all making jokes about phone browsers being awful, or only used in a pinch.

What will be the naming trend for Switch homebrew?

Wii : ii (ftpii, riivolution, etc.)
WiiU : U (AstUroid, Upaint, etc.)
Switch : ? (yeah, we don't need a trend, time to find proper homebrew names )

Switch: NXES (NES), NXtp (FTP), GBX, (GBA)

FAKE of course, but just had to shop this.

If you want to hack your Switch:
1. Buy a Switch at day-one
2. Don't connect it to internet
3. Don't update it
4. Don't play with it, either
5. Wait.
6. Wait..
7. Wait...
8. An hack is released
9. Hack your Switch
10.???
11. Profit

No.

or only offline?

No.

 

[BurningDesire]

Well for entry points I was thinking since the dev kit is supposedly called hac it could be Entrypointhac instead of Entrypointhax

as for apps
FTP
App Store
etc....

nothing too fancy

 

[plyscho]

I'd say program names like BitchFTP or WitchFTP sound good. Or Stitch, if you want to be PC.

Itch, Snitch, Pitch, Rich... nice idea

I'm pretty sure after the 3DS and Wii-U, Nintendo learned a few things when it comes to security. But hey, this is Nintendo, so who knows

 

[Harsky]

Buys several hundred dollar device.
Asks how it can be hacked to play emulators.

I have to be able to emulate all my stuff on all my other stuff, otherwise what's the point?

 

[gamesquest1]

go with the NX homebrew naming theme, USBLoader NX, FTPNX, NXCHEAT

....yeah switch doesnt invite any obvious naming trends

Isn't it ridiculous - the Switch is not even out, it probably won't get hacked within a year, but we are discussing how we should call homebrew software? [emoji23]

Anyway, I'd use NX or NS. "SwitchCheat" sounds weird. Well, how about "Switcheat"?

 

[Mikemk]

Well, I hope we get a Swiss Army Switchknife of toolkits.
