We already knew that @noahc3 and the rest of Team AtlasNX were up to something since Kosmos v12.1.1's release. The pixelated teaser image was clearly showing some kind of launcher but, at the time, nobody knew exactly what it was. However, the cat is now out of the bag, as the team's members have just unveiled PegaScape, complete with a video showing it in action!

PegaScape is a launch portal for PegaSwitch in the form of a custom DNS for your console. PegaSwitch alone has been out for a long time now, however, in order to run unsigned code on your console, a user would have to set it up on a machine on his network and run it locally. This is no longer the case with PegaScape, as it provides an easy to use interface with some useful bundled scripts and exploits that can be executed with the click of a button! More importantly, both the Nereba and Caffeine exploits are supported out of the box, which will provide an easy way to launch RCM payloads without the use of a jig/dongle on firmware 1.0.0 and 3.0.0 on all consoles! The latter has been announced to work on other versions, with 4.1.0 and thus patched Switch support being almost ready, however, users will have to wait until they're updated to do so: in the meantime, userland homebrew can still be executed via hbmenu.

​

PegaScape will work on any Switch compatible with PegaSwitch (firmware 1.0.0 requires Puyo Puyo Tetris, while later ones can use FakeNews or the Web Browser Applet methods). No release ETA has been given yet, however, an early Patreon release may come in the near future.

So any browser (including the shop) can't be opened unless you have an active DNS connection, which defeats the purpose of the cache.
If you need a DNS you might as well use Pegascape, so this looks like a dead end.
I'll probably do a write up of all the stuff I found out, and hopefully someone works something out one day...
