    Let me save you the suspense; the Switch 2 won't get hacked

    You guys were spoiled by how easy it was to hack the Wii/WiiU/DS/3DS. Back in my day we installed mod chips. I'm itching to get my soldering iron out again. The most fun I had on the 360 was installing the JTAG hack and then the RGH for people who paid me whole dollars. Was a lot of fun! That...

    Where do you prefer playing Switch 1 games?

    Just use one of the newer Chinese controllers. The Switch Pro controller is the worst modern controller, being outpaced by the PS4/PS5 and Xbox controllers. My Easy SMX X20 smokes Sony and M$'s offerings. I was using my X20 on the Switch 2 just fine. No excuse for modern controllers to not have...

    New Paper Mario or Mario & Luigi RPG 7?

    I just want another Metroid sidescroller like Dread :(

    Hacking New Switch 2 Userland Exploit found

    AFAIk Userland lacks pretty much all useful privileges to the system. There was a Userland exploit I think 8 hours after release. It's largely a nothingburger. Edit: Apparently the original method was a Userland ROP exploit that did nothing on its own. This is slightly more promising...

    Hacking Speculations about Switch 2 hacking

    IIRC we had a userland exploit on day 1. It does almost nothing for us. It's just a cool trick.

    Hacking Speculations about Switch 2 hacking

    Bro RGH took ten seconds max. If your console took longer than that, you or the modder did something horribly wrong. And no, this isn't "early RGH" problems. I was doing JTAG and then RGH, because people paid me to do it for them. I did RGH installs from the very beginning. RGH2 worked like...

    Why was there almost no outrage about game keys?

    That game tempted me to update my switch past the first day, but I've held strong so far. Helps that I don't have much time for gaming anymore :')

    Why was there almost no outrage about game keys?

    Lol good luck when we haven't dumped the carts yet. Maybe encrypted, but certainly not in a usable form. If we so choose we can backup our steam libraries, though. I gather that Nintendo says "it's the third party's choice!" but really they charge the developer substantially more for physical...

    Hot Take: The Switch 2 Could've Been Better With Discs

    Well, zoom out enough and it's all a big scam, which is the gripe. Game key cards are the way in which we own nothing at all, and physical data dies. At least on my PC I can backup all my Steam games to my NAS. If Nintendo decides to kill support, I have nothing.

    You greatly overestimate the work put into these "upgrade packs".

    Hot Take: The Switch 2 Could've Been Better With Discs

    Bro they did no "tweaking". Retroarch upscales a 240P image to 4K automatically. You can also do that with every game system supported by Retroarch. There's no effort put in by Nintendo aside from maybe outsourcing playtesting to 10 people in some impoverished village somewhere.

    Hot Take: The Switch 2 Could've Been Better With Discs

    Nah, lazy remasters aside, all the "upgrades" are doing is allowing the NS2 to run at higher clock speeds. It's even lazier than the lazy remasters.

    Hot Take: The Switch 2 Could've Been Better With Discs

    Oh yeah, suuuuuper jealous. Yeah, going through my physical library of SNES and N64 games where there are 30+ bangers on each system, I'm definitely jealous Nintendo is looking at every possible way to milk their old IP dry and produce 5 remotely playable games for the last two generations. It's...

    STARFOX DIRECT!

    This is the first game that is tempting me to update my NS2 beyond launch. I will not give in! There are Xbox 360 games that are bigger than this. Which I guess that tracks with the capabilities of the NS2

    Switch 2 will be successful as the Wii U

    Nintendo understands marketing. They learned from the Wii U. Refresh old IP that is unstoppable and they will always make bank. Why make something new when you can just keep milking the same cow until it's dry?
