    Hacking New Switch 2 Userland Exploit found

    I mean... most of us are still here but the action is now on discord because it's closed by default and invitation based, so it's kind of perfect to share delicate info with very low to no impact.

    Elon Musk is the smartest man!

    Saw this and I though... maybe I should do a bit of community service with some of the tools of my skillset:

    Hacking Hardware Homebrew AX88772B/C/D USB Ethernet Patcher for vWii

    I made a PR to add Wii/Wii Mini support: https://github.com/doworian/vWii-Ethernet-Patcher/pull/2 Edit: While I was able to make the network work with my changes on a Wii Mini, it threw me down a rabbit hole where several mishaps on my own made me almost brick the system. I was able to recover...

    This board needs a "Vibe-coded" prefix

    While I tend to agree to this, in practice the line moves by the person judging and haters are going to hate anyway.

    Picodrive twl need sounds

    This is my best effort so far: PicoDriveTWL 2.1.0 Sound Test (Alpha build) For the audio to initialize you need to hold R while loading a game. Imho, DS mode with sound is unplayable. DSi mode is honestly palatable but YMMV. This is AI coded. I have found issues in specific games with YM2612...

    Hacking Misc AI+MCP Server for Romhacking and Reverse Engineering

    I use claude for my GB romhack projects. Fiddling around the agent I've done a couple of things that really boosted claude capabilities. The first one was to find all pandocs and hardware documentation I trust and condense them into a claude skill, so it integrates with the agent without...

    Hacking New Switch 2 Userland Exploit found

    General rule of thumb: if it's youtube, it's stale news. It takes time for the content creator to document about what happened and it takes time to edit a video, but most important: the info must be public (i.e. it was already made public in another place). This source can be rather obscure...

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

    That is a lot of information I didn't know. Thank you. Then the only vector of attack is a hardware defect. Either a rowhammer-esque setup where we could flip something in runtime to produce issues where they weren't, or a modchip. Looks grim, honestly.

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

    It means a userland exploit allows unsigned code execution with user permissions, as in we're still inside the walled garden. A dev should be able to explore the user allowed API functions at his leisure now. If by these means security issues are found between the seams of the different security...

    Picodrive twl need sounds

    I am looking into this too. I was able to use the teak DSP in DSi mode in a local build and it was okay-ish. I broke DS mode and a bunch of other stuff, so I'll rebuild my strategy and try again. I'll let you guys know if I get something. First of all I would like to upgrade the homebrew to...

    Well, not with that attitude! :rofl2:

    Hacking Hardware Picofly - a HWFLY switch modchip

    I was able to install a couple of picofly, one in my mariko and another one in a lite I bought for training. The solder points for the emmc in the lite was a challenge for me but I got it installed successfully. Because pics or it didn't happen: Mariko (LCD): Lite: I bridged lite SP2 with...

    Xbox to increase in price again in August, Series S set to hit $500

    Steering the price is quick and easy, bringing down or offline entire AI scaffolding and products not so much. If I were you I would keep my eyes peeled.

    TheFlow has hacked the PlayStation Portal, manages to run PPSSPP natively on the device

    It's not. Who am I to judge. I am assuming if you are willing to do mod this is because you already own it. A Raspberry Pi 5 might be twice as powerful at half the budget otherwise.

    OpenLara - a stunning GBA port of the 1996 classic Tomb Raider

    GB carts solved this by writing to arbitrary ROM addresses to inform the mapper to switch to specific banks. The trick is understanding the ROM mapper is physically inside the cart. Of course it would need to be a custom mapper. Emulators will need changes to be able to access the data, but its...
