Hacking The maker of the iOS 10.2 jailbreak managed to hack the Switch

[Arecaidian Fox]

so any names for the switch hack stuff homebrew
like will we continue with the "Iine"/Coffee stuff?

is it ios? (im like 99 percent sure it does not but since the entry point is ios related)
if yes ill start:

I-load=(loadiine)
I-dump=(dumpiine)
I-gecko=(gecko)
I-xploit CFW
I-hack CFW
I-break CFW

this is fun

I think naming conventions in the vein of "Switcheroo" are more ironic and fitting. Just imagine the "Switcheroo Backup Loader" being a thing. It's a great name on several levels

That's pretty much every hacked console, with the exception maybe of 'flash carts'. The amount of people who actually bother to keep an eye on the scene regularly enough and even risk hacking something in the first place is miniscule.

It's easy to think that because we're members of 'hacking' forums and surround ourselves with likeminded people or even that we find it easy to follow some '3ds.guide', 'brazilian method' or 'cbhc' that everybody is doing it.

The reality is most end users don't even know these things exist, let alone risk trying it in the first place. You have to be pretty diligent to get in before an exploit is patched or wait for a console to be on it's last legs.

This is true. If the Switch were to load backups tomorrow there'd be virtually no difference in sales. People in poor countries won't suddenly have money for games, and everyday people won't suddenly become tech savvy enough to mod anything.

The only real difference would be whether or not companies could use piracy as a scapegoat for their own failures.

Luca (qwertyoruiopz) is a known troll to the jailbreak community and loves to do things like this.

He actually is very capable of making proper hacks though, but I doubt this was a serious tweet.

He made an iOS 10 jailbreak in just 24h.

He ported his ios jailbreak from ios9 to ios 10 in just 24 hours.

But this is a lot less than a jailbreak (which requires multiple vulnerabilities and iOS is very secure), just read+write memory as webkit right now.

awesome... now we just need a retroarch port <3

A hell of aot more to go before we get a retroarch port. And I'm sure a proper emulator will be much better than retroarch anyway.

Been over a week and still nothing, clearly this console is never actually getting hacked.

Now you need to head over to his Twitter account and ask him "wen iz swich jerlbrek plez?! son?"

Indeed. This is only code exec.

Hehehe. "Only code exec." I like that.

That's true. Here in México the Switch costs U$500 because there's no Nintendo Mexico or Nintendo LATAM and the thing go worse if you go to South America. I heard that the Switch is about U$700 in Chile and even more expensive in Brazil and Venezuela.

 

[Bladexdsl]

there goes 3rd party

 

[mooglux]

I'd consider retroarch to be a proper emulator...

 

[Ssseth]

I just opened my Switch. Safe to update to the launch day patch I assume?...

It's about 750$ here, at the current black market rate that is the only one normal (non-government) people can get. So yeah. Not. Worth. It.

Literally unplayable

I payed $850 for mine in canada, crazy as every outlet has been sold out since launch, only place to get them is ebay and they sky rocket like crazy because of it

 

[alexj9626]

Here in my country (Panama) the Switch costs 350$ and for what i have found, is the cheapest country to buy it arround here.

 

[thomasnet]

In France the Switch's price is 299€ (around 320 USD) so it's much cheaper here.
