Hacking Question What could we see for the future of Switch hacking?

[Dr.Hacknik]

I bet Nintendo will give us an official browser. We already have ways to access the one they've implemented. No reason to not just give us a real browser at this point.

Hacks? I mean, the 3ds and Wii U were hacked using one.

The goals are obviously to please the leeching pirate community.

Well, it's not like anything with a browser can be hacked to the end user's advantage. >>

But the switch have an hidden one and we already exploited it so there is no reason left for nintendo to not release a complete one

This is the unfortunate truth...

If the switch have no public hack released (because dev / hacker keep it for themselves) scince i will also try to hack it, i will release it unless nintendo put pressure

I don't know if "exploited" is the right term... but we found a way to access it.

I have theories as to how it could be hacked, but I hope it'll be like the Wii homebrew scene.

It will never be like the wii himebrew seen, wii was a real strainer in term of security while 3ds have encryption and more locks, adding to that the switch's kernel is similar to the one of the
3ds so switch hacking scene will look more like 3ds hacking one but whitout a9lh

I have some ideas that I want to investigate, slim chance I could figure something out for userland. :3

I would like to see moonlight on the switch, or better yet the actual nvidia gamestream since it's basically using the same chip.

 

[SmellyPirateMonkey]

I'm hoping for a way to Backuo save files and restore to another console. Me loves my save backups

 

[ItsTheWolf]

I really want to see the Switch hacked so modders can mod the flying **** outta Switch games, anything from uncensoring Treehouse bull**** to undubbing games with no dual audio. But I hope that ability will come later, like 1-2 years later, since that can open the door to piracy and hurt the Switch a lot.

Think we can run steam games like the PS4 can?

 

[So Solid Jedi]

I am excited at how nintendo have hinted at the virtual console stuff, I'm sure I read some articles recently stating that they will release VC titles with online stuff, I'm picturing mario kart, Mario Kart 64, Mario Golf 64, etc with Nintendo network play... ...well, a guy can dream

 

[Alkéryn]

No it won't happen or at least not with decent framerate, the ps4 is more PC like
the switch is ARM based and on top of that use uncompatible hardware
So you won't be able to launch any steam game apart from the ARM one if they have tose

 

[Kioku]

Think we can run steam games like the PS4 can?

Not all too likely. We would see Moonlight before native play. I believe The PS4 has an x86 based processor which allowed that to happen. The switch, I believe is based on ARM. So the likelihood isn't all there. Dont know for sure..
