From what I understand: The Switch has a security coprocessor (TSEC) which until now has been pretty much unused by Nintendo. Now Nintendo is using the TSEC to handle key generation. We have access to the main CPU, and can forever run our own code without touching the Switch OS. However to run CFW and pirate games, we need to be able to get the master keys, which is no longer possible until a vulnerability is found in the coprocessor / the code it runs.1st... i thought the xploit thru the cpu that was discoverd last year was unpatchable (unless hardware revision).
and now everything is blocked?
2nd... i didnt see sciresM mentioned that its "possibly UNCRAKABLE". He only says he's impressed with the new security measures, maybe its hard for devs to crack it, but its not "possibly UNCRAKABLE".
Hmmm... Which salt might that be?
Yes it's only possible. We still don't know very much about the key generation for 6.2.0! Still very early days. Should hopefully be busted wide open soon thoughCould (POSSIBLY)... is that correct? I mean... isn't it a pleonasm?

But you lose sleep mode that way.Sx os
Ofw 6.2: legit games online
Cfw <6.1: backups offline
Can’t be easier
The TSEC was being used for other things like AES, now it has an added role of handling the decryption keys internally.
Sounds like this is unhackable. Oh well it was good while it lasted.
Everything gets hacked eventually. Could be a long wait though.
Smash won't include 6.2.0. The game has gone gold a while ago, which means production has been well underway before 6.2.0 released, so it's impossible for it to come with it or require it. Hell, even Pokemon doesn't require 6.0.0 or 6.1.0, it requires 5.1.0.
As for 2019 games, I am 100% certain 6.2.0 will be cracked long before the first game releases. Unfortunately for Nintendo, pirates having hardware access means there is nothing long term they can do.
Are u sure everything is the Xbox One hacked yet.
And if the wait is 5 years then by then people will move on lol
I lost it, but it's a good compromiseBut you lose sleep mode that way.
I thought the same. People on this subforum talk pretty big with 'it will only be a couple of days to crack, tops', but what they're essentially saying is 'it will only be a couple of days until a couple of developers exploit the processor developed by NVidia, explicitely for security purposes, in the spare time that they have'. What hubris you guys. The RCM exploit might have been a fault they overlooked, but if you think this will be fixed in a couple of days, you are dreaming. NVidia developed that processing unit specifically for security. You think an exploit for something like that will just happen in a couple of days? Userland exploits are far more likely right now.Sounds like this is unhackable. Oh well it was good while it lasted.
No, we are pirates ... just kidding I will buy smash originalSo if it takes time to have a workaround on this, can we still buy the carts and play on lower firmware?
