Team-Xecuter announces future-proof Switch exploit

Team-Xecuter revealed in a teaser a method to bypass all Switch security in a manner that they claim will never be patched by Nintendo and is compatible with every firmware available!

In the video, they show a custom boot image and have publicly posted the Stage2 Bootloader key (package 1.1) which has been confirmed to be legit as proof of their pwnage over the device.

This solution will work on ANY Nintendo Switch console regardless of the currently installed firmware, and will be completely future proof. This is *the* solution for opening up CFW (Custom FirmWare) on the Nintendo Switch. We want to move the community forward and provide a persistent, stable and fast method of running your own code and custom firmware patches on Nintendo's latest flagship product. And we think we've succeeded!

Below you can find a quick video showcasing a Nintendo Switch booting up, but there s something funny going on, can you spot it?

This is expected to be a DRM/paid "device", speculated to be a tx1 glitch style modchip that will enable CFW and full access to the system, which unfortunately(?) includes piracy.

Piracy this early could be a real hindrance to Switch game development down the line if it affects software sales. I'd rather have a legit system with a strong library than a hacked system with a bunch of shovelware. Guess we'll see how it goes. PS4 and XB1 are also hackable, after all.

I will admit that it could harm the potential of any future games like you said. But I am just saying that people complaining about this potentially enabling piracy are silently cheering because that’s what a majority of people with hacked consoles do. PS4 has been doing great even with a small amount of piracy as of recent. And Xbox doesn’t have any public hacks I don’t think.

Oh that's right, nobody cares about XB1 because all its games are on PS4 and/or PC. :rofl:

The Switch has already proven itself on the market, I don't think that piracy would be a hindrance at this point

I'm not worried about hardware sales, piracy might even provide a slight boost to those. It's software attach rate and third-party game sales that are concerning.

At one point I would have agreed with you, but then that EU study leaked that showed piracy has no significant impact on game sales. And on top of that, the Switch is already doing leagues better in 3rd party support than its predecessor

well if it fails because of piracy, we know for sure it's the first console to die because of it and the argument actually becomes valid. So far all except Xbox One have been hacked.
The Wii was a success despite being chippable day one more or less, it have some of the best games... hmm... mostly first party however. The DS was also rampart with piracy, so is the 3DS and they still sold buckets even after the first cards got released. So it's hard to say. But if the study is something to go by, it will be fine. I will still buy the games I like however. And Nintendo will probably ban people for going online so people will still own 2 switches.
