    Hacking Dock Hacking

    The OS is not Open Source. They have some applications loaded onto it that are Open Source. Mainly they used WebKit to allow the Switch to sign into WiFi access points. This was already hacked but that hack has been patched. Also that hack only gave you the ability to run an application with...

    Hacking Dock Hacking

    Plugged the Dock into the PC at work. It does not show up in lsusb and the Linux kernel dmesg does not show any activity. Either the USB-C port in the PC at work is not working or the Dock will not respond to the USB bus till the Switch does something to activate it. If I had to guess it is the...

    There is a rumor that something like that is in the works, and it is coming from a reliable source. Time will tell though.

    The Dock would do a loop-de-loop?

    DP over USB-C is a fully developed protocol. I can think of three reasons why they would do it this way. 1) Nintendo wanted control over what hardware could be used with the system. This is very typical of them. If they used a standard compliant protocol then anyone could build a compatible...

    Hacking Dock Hacking

    After doing more research I have pretty much given up on using generic hardware to make my own dock. I will probably be modding my own. As for using this as a hacking vector, I think this is definitely possible looking at the various chips and how the system is working. It all comes down to how...

    Depsy, one of the ways the PS3 was jailbroken was using USB. They made a special USB device that fooled the PS3 into running arbitrary code. It is a perfectly valid hacking vector. I understand that it is most likely using DisplayPort over USB-C and then using a DisplayPort to HDMI converter...

    Hacking Dock Hacking

    Forgive me if this has been covered elsewhere. I have done some Googling and do not see anything about this. I have some questions about the dock that I plan to investigate on my own but I do not want to waste time reimplementing things that have already been done. I have a few questions...
