I mean.... you bought the 300 dollar tablet for the games you want first, yes?
to be fair, save money, dont buy a switch as its littered with wii u ports.
That's a super "eventually" thing.
On < 8.x Erista units, TrustZone can be compromised if you control the bpmp at wake-from-sleep.
In practice, this means a full userland compromise is needed.
You can maybe do some stuff with tsec or GPU dma if you compromise nvservices, but it needs research and isn't straightforward.
So, pieces needed for cfw on a < 8.0.0 erista console:
* Console is not update nagged (this is unfixable).
* Browser exploit.
* nvservices exploit.
* Further userland escalation.
* TrustZone compromise.
Stuff we have:
* TrustZone compromise.
Stuff we kind of have:
* Browser exploit (I have a webkit 0-day, but I would like to avoid burning it for something like this when it might be useful to me if I want to look at PS5 or a future console).
* The userland escalation bit via tsec or gpu, but this would probably be 50-100 hours of research/work once an nvservices compromise is in hand.
Stuff we don't have:
* nvservices compromise.
Nvservices is pretty dogshit from a security pov, and it's all nvidia code and not Nintendo code -- this means it's lower security.
I'm sure nvservices vulnerabilities exist to be found, but I don't actually have one.
Combining all those factors, it's just super low priority. I expect "eventually" it'll happen, but like...don't expect it any time soon, and it's not an area of active work on my part, especially since it would be so much work and so few people will benefit from it.
Even ignoring the fact that I and other hackers don't support and aren't motivated by piracy, it may surprise you to learn that the fact that you don't want to pay for games doesn't make exploitable bugs magically exist.
Perhaps a clear analogy: I'd prefer not to have to pay my rent. Unfortunately my apartment's lease, like Mariko units, doesn't have any exploitable bugs. My not wanting to pay my rent doesn't make any bugs exist in my lease.
My options, then, are to pay my rent or live somewhere else.
Your options are to buy switch games, or not play games on your switch.

the ones who complain about a $60 game are the same ones who get pissed off at theflow for making 10 grand for disclosing an exploit on the ps4. they do absolutely nothing in the scene, yet they feel entitled.
SX Core and SX Lite are no longer manufactured so don't bother to hunt for this and cost is going up due to higher demand.
You have to wait for next clone in near future.
I have no sympathy for people whoever pirate the game and you just contaminated the CFW that supposed to use with homebrew, save sharing and cheating, so you gave Nintendo a major reason to crack all of us who use CFW down because you want to pirate the game.
Go find a job or ask your boss for pay raise if they don't pay you enough.
I'm not going assist with people whoever want to pirate the games and you are on own.
SX Core and SX Lite are no longer manufactured, anyway.
Edit: I don't mean to be rude to you and it is very bad deal to bring up about pirated games.

People have been trying to install CFW but it's very hard to find a bug that allows it. HB channel may be different but no one try experimenting with basic homebrew anymore.

Mariko is almost impossible to install cfw on, but what about plain hb[/QUOTE]
My analysis is basically the same.
Getting plain hb requires full userland compromise.
Mariko fixes the GPU DMA bug; getting just homebrew isn't impossible but isn't happening any time soon.
You'd have to find an exploitable bug in FS, and good luck with that lmao.
You'd need a browser exploit + an nvservices compromise.
Then you'd be able to use the GPU dma bug to play homebrew games.
Note that you'd have almost no privileges -- this means no editing savedata, no overclocking or using interesting system modules, no custom themes, no game mods, etc etc. Homebrew games that don't use special privileges only.
See a few posts above -- you still need an nvservices bug and a browser exploit, and it's kind of like "who cares" imo when it doesn't let you do game mods or save editing.
Probably not impossible, but hard for me to imagine anyone with the skill to find the bugs sinking in all the time/effort?
U got me fish pokemon I find bug and I did cfw but still have problems 3/1 brick.... My old posts I said I find a method lol
You could still pirate
No, you couldn't.
Piracy requires substantially higher privileges than homebrew, not lower.
In the low privileges homebrew scenario described, you very much would not be able to pirate games.
Tbh, I'm pretty happy with that.
Once the switch dies, they can do whatever with it, for now, I'd rather it remains the way it is, at least for the Mariko version.

You could without sigpatches, for example, the USB loader, or an sd loader

Anyways there will be cfw one day, whether it's near or end of life

TwoSpikedHands:
Do I restart now using what i've learned on the EU version since it's a better overall experience? or do I continue with the US version since that is what ive been using, and if someone decides to play my hack, it would most likely be that version? -
@
Sicklyboy:
@TwoSpikedHands, I'll preface this with the fact that I know nothing about the game, but, I think it depends on what your goals are. Are you trying to make a definitive version of the game? You may want to refocus your efforts on the EU version then. Or, are you trying to make a better US version? In which case, the only way to make a better US version is to keep on plugging away at that one -
@
Sicklyboy:
I'm not familiar with the technicalities of the differences between the two versions, but I'm wondering if at least some of those differences are things that you could port over to the US version in your patch without having to include copyrighted assets from the EU version

@
TwoSpikedHands:
@Sicklyboy I am wanting to fully change the game and bend it to my will lol. I would like to eventually have the ability to add more characters, enemies, even have a completely different story if i wanted. I already have the ability to change the tilemaps in the US version, so I can basically make my own map and warp to it in game - so I'm pretty far into it!

@
TwoSpikedHands:
I really would like to make a hack that I would enjoy playing, and maybe other people would too. swapping to the EU version would also mean my US friends could not legally play it
-
@
TwoSpikedHands:
I am definitely considering porting over some of the EU features without using the actual ROM itself, tbh that would probably be the best way to go about it... but i'm sad that the voice acting is so.... not good on the US version. May not be a way around that though

@
The Real Jdbye:
@TwoSpikedHands just switch, all the knowledge you learned still applies and most of the code and assets should be the same anyway -
@
The Real Jdbye:
and realistically they wouldn't
be able to play it legally anyway since they need a ROM and they probably don't have the means to dump it themselves -
