Hacking derrek: we also got the #NintendoSwitch TrustZone code!

[MichiS97]

It really would.

Nah

 

[Kioku]

Nah

Belive me. I'd be laughing my ass off. Sometimes I wonder why people release certain Hacks or exploits.

 

[BlastedGuy9905]

Nah they wont release befire 2019

You don't know that.

 

[Ryccardo]

Wow, the Switch must have some pretty horrendous security.
Is there a console out there that's been hacked open to this extent this fast or faster?

PSP launched at the end of 2004 in Japan (or march 2005 in America), public homebrew - usable by the public without special games or hardware - before June as long as you were on 1.50 or 1.00

To a lesser extent (but in part because of the slow console launch, its commercial unpopularity, etc) Dreamcast had the first pirated game (of European region) on 2000-6-23, again without game exploits/swapping/modchips, less than 9 months after the European launch

The Ouya can run homebrew in 5 clicks 10 seconds like almost every Android product but it's so easy it doesn't count

Atari (2600 at least), Nintendo until N64/GBA, PS1 with parallel ports, etc are also technically without any security and got homebrew and/or piracy during their generation, but not for the price of a blank CD or card

The 3DS is quite dead!

Pokémon Go is quite dead.
The 3DS is NOT dead yet. TrustZone me on this one.

One step closer!
Trustzone is basically the deepest security module, it's like arm9 on the 3DS, and IOSU on the Wii U. (I believe at least.)

Aswome...!!!!

This is true. if it weren't for Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon coming out later this year, I'd have already sold my 3ds. Hell, I was considering it, then the surpris

 

[Bladexdsl]

This will be sold to Nintendo

already has

 

[punderino]

oh, hey, didn't think someone downloaded it. I thought it was gone!

Did you make the original? I cried laughing at the OTP version of this.

 

[GerbilSoft]

And who released the hack?
Gbatemp ofc
Where would their name comes from else?

GBA's "protection" was virtually identical to the Game Boy: it only checks for a logo at the start of the ROM. There's no other copy protection.

 

[V-Temp]

The biggest thing I've actually learned here is that the Switch has fuse protection. That's going to be the biggest problem going forward. People will find the bypass but a lot of users are going to be spooked from how easy it is to brick a console that has this hardware-level protection. When Nintendo gets sold new exploits, they will roll updates with new triggers on the fuse as well.

This is going to be a bloodbath on hardware nuking if its done too quickly.

I know people who are spooked hacking the 3DS and that has almost no failstate, add a failstate and the more casual audience on the hacking scene are going to run for the hills.

It really would.

That's the point of the program that Nintendo is running. This will almost assuredly be sold to them eventually or even soon.

Here's hoping there isn't an update before I can purchase Sonic Mania..... Because I'm thinking of shelfing my Switch until hax..... Hell, maybe try get a 2nd one......

 

[Bullseye]

This is interesting news. But we always go back to the same game. The waiting game.

 

[smileyhead]

Did you make the original? I cried laughing at the OTP version of this.

yep.

oh, and the redraw is live: https://gbatemp.net/threads/theyve-got-the-iosu-redrawn-and-updated.478670/

Now this... is the real news. Screw all the other tweets, this is half of the nails in the coffin for Switch hacking. Now the only remaining question is, will they release any of it?

Do you SERIOUSLY think that ANY of this will be release until SciresM jumps into it? There is no way in HELL that Derrek will release ANY of his work. He dumped boot9 on the 3DS 4 years before anyone else dumped it. It would be a fucking miracle if Derrek released anything.

He likes to hack and then gloat he did something without ever actually releasing anything.

 

[bennyman123abc]

This just in: We've got the Windows kernel. C:\Windows\System32\NTOSKRNL.EXE

Welp, looks like Windows is a dead operating system.

Wasn't it already?

Again, that is SigHax

And who released the hack?
Gbatemp ofc
Where would their name comes from else?

The name GBATemp comes from the original purpose of this website. In the early days of GBA flashcarts and ROMs, the creator of GBATemp wanted a place where he could temporarily host GBA ROMs for his friends to download. Thus, GBATemp came into existence.

This is true. if it weren't for Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon coming out later this year, I'd have already sold my 3ds. Hell, I was considering it, then the surpris

I'm not even slightly considering selling. Hell, I'm getting the N2DSXL on Friday (USA launch date )

 

[c4p0]

already has

Sellouts . Then again I don't have the knowledge to create an exploit on my own so I guess I shouldn't be talking..

 

[Deleted User]

noticed he still doesn't have the balls to tag nintendo directly.

derrek left a bad taste in my mouth after he released sighax just a few minutes after boot9strap's release. it was a shitty tool and worthless to most because of the installation of the firm vs. loading it off of the SD card. Besides, Hedge was working on glitchammer about a month before 33c3, and 33c3 just talked about stuff already on the wiki
