    Homebrew Switch 2 modding?

    It’s always better to have the earliest hardware revision possible, but there’s no guarantee an exploit will ever be found even on lower revisions. On the switch 1 we had an unpatchable hardware issue in the first generation of the hardware, but this really was a fluke (and the fault of NVIDIA...

    Is it possible to update games via a local user using a PC?

    How does that work? Where can I find info on using a Switch 1 to update Switch 2 games?

    Update via game cart: FW 20.1.1 and SD express support

    The 20.1.1 update contains the MicroSD Express drivers so you’re good to go without any update.

    Hacking Best practice for preserving Switch 2 exploitability?

    That's true, but we also have to keep in mind that in order for an exploit to be found, someone has to look for it. The day 1 update adds a lot of functionality, which means more potential attack vectors for an exploit, so the likelihood that someone with the necessary skills would probe the...

    Hacking Why go EmuNAND?

    Only other reason would be if your Swicth is on a low firmware, and you want to keep the possibility of cold boot in the future, if it ever comes out.

    Homebrew Question The REAL Reason why no XCI support outside of SXOS

    Ah you’re right, I’ve been out of the loop for too long now, forgot that Déjà Vu has to be launched via a WebKit exploit.

    Hacking Can't get SX Pro dongle to work on 2nd Switch

    If that’s the case then I suggest not updating past 7.0.1, apparently the Deja Vu exploit chain works up to that version (even on Ipatched units)

    Homebrew Question The REAL Reason why no XCI support outside of SXOS

    Ah thanks, that’s really good to know; I do have a RCM-hack-enabled unit, and was about to update to 8.0, but the prospect of a real CFW without having to go through RCM will make me think this over! Hope it doesn’t take years to come out...

    Homebrew Question The REAL Reason why no XCI support outside of SXOS

    Still, I think the switch is still better protected than the Wii / Wii U / 3DS. But indeed, I agree it’s not all on nVidia’s shoulders. Is that true? I missed that. Do you have any source for this?

    Homebrew Question The REAL Reason why no XCI support outside of SXOS

    Well to be fair Nintendo is doing a much better job this time around than with the previous consoles. It was nVidia who messed up this time, and as far as I know there is still no way to have piracy on ipatched units.

    Hacking create or add psn account 5.05 firmware

    There is a pre-activated PSN account floating around (search for "Pre-Activated User Backup" on reddit), however it will wipe your PS4 completely, including all your savegames.

    Tutorial PS4 Exploit Guide

    Really not wanting to nitpick here on the great work you put together @KiiWii, however I have to admit that as a newbie I did struggle a bit to understand the "Let's get started" section. I think it's because the guide expects a minimum amount of knowledge from the user, for instance that the...

    Hacking Can u use external harddrive on jailbreak ps4

    The problem with exfat on the Switch is due to Nintendo's implementation of the exfat driver. Not all features of exfat are implemented correctly on the Switch; normally the Switch is not meant to write on the SD card in the way that Retroarch does. Nintendo obviously only cares about what it...

    Tutorial PS4 Exploit Guide

    While I certainly appreciate the time and energy you guys are putting into this multi-FW payload (and into the scene in general), I'm not sure I understand the motivation behind supporting lower FW. From what I understand, the exploit chain on 5.05 is complete; is there any reason for someone on...
