It seems that TX has found a way to modify the latest Switch consoles, including the newly released Lite

Since the new 'red box' Mariko units appeared, people have been asking when will it be possible to run CFW on it, well today MaxConsole was in touch with trusted TX reseller, that been given some advance news on a new solution that is coming soon, and that it infact works on all new Switch models, not just the 'patched' ones, but even the 'mariko', and 'lite' models as well, see below what they mentioned:

TX has recently taken the time to demonstrate to us some of their Work-In-Progress. Notably for 'patched' and 'mariko' units which is very advanced, and works flawlessly. We were not given a firm date or prices yet, but knowing TX we know the price will be very reasonable. We also saw early beta for Switch Lite console as well.

So that above is great news, and we will have more in the coming weeks, as we have requested to get an early sample from the trusted TX reseller, so that we can share more info with our loyal readers, on how TX's new solution works and what is involved and pics of course!

They are gatewait wym?

Gateway had a history of promising things they never delivered and having some really shady business practices towards the end of the 3ds's life cycle

Gateway was irrelevant way before the end of the 3ds's life cycle.

Please don't bring UK politics into this.

please stop trolling SX threads . if this is fake or not time will time,

but what was the point of all this 'misinformation' by Hexkyz

1. The second half of your sentence literally makes no sense.
2. What misinformation?

I wouldn't know, i only got into that particular scene at around the end of the 3ds's lifetime

[Ashura66]

Do you have proof that it's missinformation?

 

[Essasetic]

What's wrong with that? It seems suspiciously coincidental that after over a year of silence. Two days after SciresM posts a tweet about dumping 8.1.1 they announce a Mariko hack with no evidence or proof of its existence.

The burden of proof falls on him though. If he’s going to go round and state a whole bunch of stuff he should back it up. Just like everybody demands of tx. But when hexckyz does it or sciresm truth doesn’t matter.

 

[TheZander]

Why is it coming through a trusted reseller instead of tx themselves. I thought they talk to at least the op. Nobody talks to tx directly? Can i email that main email to confirm this supposed second hand news?

Truth is what matters the most. You have to admit the timing of this" news" is highly suspicious. And since
JoeBloggs777 is claiming with such certainty that it's misinformation, the burden of proof is shifted now to them. Besides, sciresm and hexckyz don't have the same shady background that TX do, as whenever those two say something they always present evidence of their claims in public spaces(Twitter usually) whereas TX...well let's just say that they have been CLAIMING to have a solution for ipatched units since SX OS 1.01 and yet they have presented nothing to that effect, not even poof that they are working on it, it's been nothing but fake hype. There's a reason why people usually take hexckyz and sciresm up on their word at face value, because they are trusted members of the scene, tx not so much

I...don't think that I am happy about this...if it is true and gets released. And I don't think that TX are lying. I don't hate them, I don't like them, I just think that hacking the latest Switch revisions / Models is not "fair" against Nintendo.

Look, we all know that while Homebrew is very cool piracy is not so cool. And we all know that homebrew leads to piracy.

From the view of a consumer Nintendo fixed nearly all the major flaws they had with their last few consoles:
- No region locking
- Good, quality games and a very stable 3rd party / indie support
- Improved Shop/Account System (yay for beeing able to just buy from the JP eShop)

Sure, they fucked up the (paid) Online system, and you can argue that the NES / SNES App aproach, and drip feeding us with games for them, sucks. But the Switch is so much better than the Wii / WiiU in every other regard.

My main reason for hacking consoles is, most of the time, to remove the region lock (i need my japanese shmups / rythm games!).
We have more than enough "vulnerable" Switches that can not be patched. We don't need hacked Mariko units, and we especially don't need hacked Switch Lite units.
At least for now - maybe wait for a year or something like that and then release the hack/exploit?

I am very active in the Bemani hacking/release community - and there is an unspoken rule that we only release game data when the "old" game is at least one year old so that Konami can still make a winning. I would be happy to see a stance like that in the console hacking community. I know this will never happen and I know that this is a very unpopular stance, I just wanted to give my thoughts about the current situation.

Personally I want a new exploit purely for portable retroarch alongside good battery life.
I don't really want sx os, just switch Homebrew menu on patched switches
Lol god knows I'm not going out of my way to get a non patched switch

This is a total wash of misinformation being spread around, and seen as truth. I bet my ass that the script kiddie that wrote and spread this information is getting off to the fact their rumor has gotten this far. Like really? Something like this with no information to back it up. Especially two days after Sciresm shows off him making progress to be able to dump the Switch lite's firmware and maybe BootROM, etc? Seems all too fishy to me and surely doesn't deserve front page until a product is shown, working

 

[smf]

What's wrong with that? It seems suspiciously coincidental that after over a year of silence. Two days after SciresM posts a tweet about dumping 8.1.1 they announce a Mariko hack with no evidence or proof of its existence.

Or maybe it is a coincidence?

I bet my ass that the script kiddie that wrote and spread this information is getting off to the fact their rumor has gotten this far.

It's more likely they would get off on the people who try to disprove it.

 

[PoiRan]

If true, and time will tell, this isn't necessarily good news. It will make Nintendo crack down harder, and new firmwares could check for even traces of a hack (such as auto-rcm) or new games might require latest firmware and/or online accounts. We were lucky millions of unpatched Switches were produced before mid 2018, if there indeed is a new attack vector Nintendo will patch it sooner this time.

As of now, Nintendo seems to tolerate Switch hacking (and almost promote Wii/U and 3DS hacking), but if new models can be hacked, ouch.

 

[Essasetic]

Or maybe it is a coincidence?

I find the timing too suspicious for that to be the case.

 

[smf]

I find the timing too suspicious for that to be the case.

That is a fundamental part of coincidence, that it appears suspiciously like the two events are linked even if they aren't.

You might be right, but you have no objective way to evaluate it. It seems more like prejudice.

 

[JoeBloggs777]

This makes it even better.

Hexkyz has just confirmed this is bullshit too:

Truth is what matters the most. You have to admit the timing of this" news" is highly suspicious. And since
JoeBloggs777 is claiming with such certainty that it's misinformation

didn't you read the capture of the post from hexkyz which was posted by Essasetic ? , he says 'I wanted to see how far misinformation goes within TX' so he admits to spreading misinformation

 

[Dr.Hacknik]

It's more likely they would get off on the people who try to disprove it

I meeeean. I'd think they just want to stir up a riot and could care less who comes out on top.

Regardless, this information is meaningless until proven otherwise. I'm sure both sides can agree on that one
