Hacking PegaSwitch 3.0, libtransistor, and more

[leonmagnus99]

Time to get Pokken or Mario+Rabbids then!
Let's hit that sweetspot.

read through the whole thread now, and it seems rabbids is not coming with 3.0.0, no biggie.
but it is weird how we are now advised to upgrade to 3.0.0, always thought anything under 3.0.1 was gonna be fine *sigh*

"Rohan"... I don't like it. It's like Gohan. But worse. Buuuuut I'm sure you've got your reasons for naming it as such. Either way, thank you for your contributions!

the name rohan actually reminded me of the Jojo's bizarre adventure character XD

I just KNOW that if I order pokken today, some new game that I actually could play like Skyrim will come with 3.0.0.

I'm in the same boat, got FIFA 18 last week and thought it comes with 3.0.0 but seems to be 3.0.1 from what I read. Not sure how to check myself since the one i use already has 3.0.2. My homebrew Swtich is still sealed.

 

[leonmagnus99]

pokken might be the new game for them scalpers to fetch i guess.

Its great that the Switch homebrew scene is moving forward but I hate to be a damper on it all but as far as FW1.0.0 - 3.0.0 that is as far as its going to get for the Switch homebrew scene, even lets say in piracy terms you wont be able to play any games beyond that firmware and at the moment there is only a handful of games that play under the 3.0.0 threshold and as far as any sort of cfw or emunand happening that will be years down the line, it will probably be dead on its feet by then. You cant use any online features unless your on the latest firmware, you cant use eshop and tbh if your willing to sit out for a very long wait and not play Mario Odyssey for a very very long time, then is it really all worth it? in my opinion and I'm only saying for me before I get jumped on, its not!

You know, there is this thing called firmware spoofing, which lets you use games and access to the online services by spoofing to the latest firmware... You obviously might already know what it is, so dont forget it could be a thing for the people with a homebrewd switch just like it happened with the wii u and 3ds.

I thought the eFuses stopped this being a thing on the switch?

Werent efuses just for preventing firmware downgrading?

 

[isoboy]

Don't make this conFUSing.

If you spoof the firmware upwards it’s going to blow fuses isn’t it?

last time i checked the efuses thread there was a talk about involving downgrading not being possible, so idk.

 

[WeedZ]

I'm glad they're going back to the way things used to be done. Keep the work open for community contributions. Now watch how fast this thing gets completely pwned and kiss my ass with that "more people will have it if they wait until it's patched to release" nonsense.

 

[FunThomas]

is it possible with pegaswitch 3.0 to access the save files of botw ?

 

[lordelan]

The only thing I care about is RetroArch for Switch.
So this might be a fantastic release to make this happen anytime in the future. Good work guys!

1. Would this lead to dumping backups and running them on the same system?

2. Would this allow Unreal Engine 4 projects (built for Switch) to run? Or do you need a Nintendo developer account to be able to install them on your Switch?

ReSwitched is proud to announce that a large portion of our development, previously done behind closed doors, is moving to the open. From the beginning, we have strived to be as transparent as is possible; today’s shift follows through on that commitment.

PegaSwitch 3.0 is an extensive exploitation toolkit for Switch OS 2.0.0-3.0.0. With complete support for IPC, a brand new API, and automatic gadget hunting, it gives us a new window into the Switch platform. https://github.com/reswitched/Pegaswitch

libtransistor is our open-source SDK for the Switch. Designed from the ground-up to make use of the LLVM+Clang stack, we intend for it to be a highly-accessible, community-driven platform for homebrew development. https://github.com/reswitched/libtransistor

Mephisto is a high-performance emulator for non-game Switch binaries. Mephisto features a high degree of determinism, GDB debugging support (even allowing source-level debugging of sysmodules in IDA), and compatibility with a large number of Switch OS features. To clarify again: Mephisto is not for and will never be for games. But it is an invaluable tool for development. https://github.com/reswitched/Mephisto

SwIPC is our project to define a canonical specification for IPC messages. Covering the majority of the system, we are able to automatically generate both client and server code. This means that improvements to SwIPC automatically improve all our other projects.https://github.com/reswitched/SwIPC

The development of all of these projects will now be happening 100% in public, with the entire community encouraged to contribute. While private development has its place, there are a lot of very capable individuals in our community – we want to work with all of you.

To that end, we’re also announcing that we have a mechanism, which we are calling ROhan, for userland arbitrary code execution on Switch OS3.0.0. The development of the requisite exploit is not complete and will now be shifting into public. For the nitty-gritty technical details, please see ROhan.

None of what we’re releasing today is ready for anyone but the most dedicated hackers. However, we know that by shifting development into the public where anyone can contribute, this will be ready for end users far faster than if we were to continue our work in private.

Thank you for your continued support and we can’t wait to work with all of you.

Why would it? The spoofing is done from within the current firm environment. Only actually updating (or downgrading) would require a check from the bootloader..

You always get will be able to update to 3.0.0 if you are below it, so if you are just an end user, be patient by the time something worthwhile comes out you might be able to update for free.
Maybe not, but I'd rather wait until buying an game specifically to update, unless I need to.

why ?
Reswitched and Switchbrew are 2 different teams, Switchbrew will only list their exploit, not other people stuff.
Even if the Switchbrew team is a bit more "mysterious" with their stuff, they don't claim everything they find unlike ReSwitched

switchbrew as far as i know is just a page that lists general hacking stuff and news

They didn't listed the PegaSwitch 2.0, so I doubt that they'll care to write a small news about the 3.0 one. anyway it's not for end users so "not a big deal"
