    Hacking Best practice for preserving Switch 2 exploitability?

    One thing to keep in mind with these consoles being kept offline for the foreseeable future is to charge them periodically. I'd recommend fully shutting it off instead of sleep mode and keeping it around a 50% storage charge so the battery doesn't become damaged and unusable in the long term. I...

    Hacking Best practice for preserving Switch 2 exploitability?

    Just to provide some background, softmods did exist even up to the initial 4.1.0 ipatched Mariko units with early Webkit exploits and Pegascape and Caffiene (in fact, firmware often needs to updated to certain versions to utilize certain exploits), but with an unpatchable hardware exploit on...

    Hacking Best practice for preserving Switch 2 exploitability?

    To clarify, does the update enabling regular microSD cards also enable microSD Express cards without needing an additional microSD Express specific update? There's a pretty important distinction there. I'm assuming the on-cart updates on launch games like Mario Kart World or Cyberpunk 2077...

    Hacking Best practice for preserving Switch 2 exploitability?

    Similar to Switch 1 to enable exFAT support, I had to install an update (separate update after the initial update at the very start of initialization) to copy screenshots and videos over from my Switch 1 regular SD card as part of the system transfer process. For those thinking they might be...

    Hacking Best practice for preserving Switch 2 exploitability?

    Can anyone confirm if any physical cartridges like Mario Kart World even contain firmware updates that can be installed offline to that specific version? While physical games have had specific firmware versions on them in the past, that may not hold true now meaning the people who intend on not...

    Homebrew RELEASE MissionControl: Use controllers from other consoles natively via Bluetooth

    Makes sense. I just wasn't sure if the Wii Remote was doing any of the position calculations itself or if the raw IR/accelerometer/gyro data was sent back to the console to be processed together. I don't know if I've seen how the Wii uses the sensor bar to calibrate the gyro better, but I've...

    Homebrew RELEASE MissionControl: Use controllers from other consoles natively via Bluetooth

    Does using a sensor bar with Wii Remote Plus improve gyro accuracy/drift using Mission Control with a fixed reference available? With the joycons being subpar in games like Skyward Sword HD and Metroid Prime Remastered, switching to Wii Remotes may be closer to the original experience on Wii. I...

    Sonic Origins gets animated trailer, release date, pricing and new info revealed

    With Sonic 1,2, and CD mobile decompilation ports and Sonic 3 A.I.R. already available on Switch and PC, it's a hard sell for $45 for games I've already bought and played a bunch, especially considering how cheap Mania was when it released. I'll probably pick it up when it inevitably goes on...

    Editorial 'FitXR' Impression

    I've played BoxVR (now rebranded as FitXR) on an Index and Quest and it has more of a focus on fitness than something like Beat Saber. Even with some of the shorter workouts, they can get pretty intense and get you out of breath and sweating pretty good. They have a decent variety of tracks...

    Hacking L4T Ubuntu and Atmosphere on same SD card?

    Oh nice. Thanks for making a flexible, easy to use script to set this up. I'm glad to have gone through the process doing it manually just to get the experience, but this would have saved me a lot of time had I started with it and it's way more accessible for anyone to get into.

    Hacking L4T Ubuntu and Atmosphere on same SD card?

    @Philliyxx I had come across that script after I had set everything up. It seems convenient, though it doesn't look like it lets you choose the size for any of the partitions like I did (basically all leftover space gets allocated to Android). I did basically everything with dd, fdisk, gdisk...

    Hacking L4T Ubuntu and Atmosphere on same SD card?

    I figured this out over the past few weeks. I've seen the info scattered in a bunch of places, so I'll compile it and put together a guide. I have reboot2payload working for Atmosphere, L4T Ubuntu, and Switchroot Android.

    Hacking L4T Ubuntu and Atmosphere on same SD card?

    I've set up Atmosphere and L4T Ubuntu on separate SD cards which works fine, but I'd like to keep everything on a single SD card and boot between them with Hekate. Right now, I have a boot partition (FAT32), L4T Ubuntu partition (EXT4), Atmosphere SD partition (exFAT), and a Linux Swap partition...

    Hacking Question Was there once a possible program to restore an earlier firmware without a backup?

    I think there might be a way to bypass the fuse check maybe with lower firmware but not without some kind of patch. It'd still require some CFW payload and wouldn't be persistent, even with a 1.0 NAND backup if any fuses were blown. It'd be nice to see something big for 1.0 or 3.0, but at this...

    Hacking Question Was there once a possible program to restore an earlier firmware without a backup?

    You can flash older firmwares with ChoiDujour but it won't boot if the efuse count isn't correct for that firmware. If you're on firmware 3.0.0 you should still be in pretty good shape and don't lose much at the moment compared to 1.0 in terms of future possibilities. It would be a good idea to...
