Evil Bowser is back and has stolen the keys to the Nintendo's EDEV castle, whom cares about the used up Princess when you can have all the development master keys instead, the rumor is an EDEV unit was sold recently on eBay and so of course it didn't take very long before all that good shit like TSEC+Fuses+NAND was dumped and shared

All the info and keys can be found on a well know site.

It's on the OP's twitter page, use basecode64 to decode.

I knew about this when he first posted the thread. We talked and he said he already sold it to someone but he is not going to say who, we only know that he sold it to a homebrew developer.

What are these good for?

It can possibly help speed up homebrew development on the Switch and unlocking debug features possibly to retail units (Not sure but most likely).

As these aren't the master keys that Ninty uses to sign firmware, i don't think that there's anything that we can do with them. Most of those keys are already known.

The keys that Ninty uses to sign firmware would be the holy grail tho.

It's not only the master keys that were leaked, the whole NAND was leaked out there. Including BIS keys + Boot 0 and 1 + Kfuse + fuse + TSEC keys

But isnt the dev keys needed to sign your own apps for the devkit? If it is we want is the exact opposite of signing custom stuff for the retail.

Can those keys be used to like sign a retail game to run on the Switch Devkit?

I also wonder if we can actually use its nand on the retail and somehow make a retail switch to became the most basic Dev kit switch but just without the extra nand memory, if we could do that and sign a CFW for it it would make a good cracked switch too, maybe a easier way to get softmod coldboot on the retail????

ps: Does anyone with a lot of knowledge could tell me if I'm dreaming high and saying complete BS or is it actually possible with the leaked devkit full nand+keys to make something for the retail. I don't know the inside hardware of the most basic Switch Devkit, but they seem to be either a perfect match or almost perfect match to the retail switch, only the other kit with the debugger attached seem to have a lot of extra flavours in it...

I guess it will only really be useful for decrypting Dev packages, so I guess once nca installation is achieved you will be able to install the switch equivalents of devmenu etc.....plus if any dev carts are ever obtained they could be decrypted and ran on retail systems....and finally I guess maybe a dev cfw for retail systems might happen too

He cant do anything with, it is almost impossible to run this on a Normal Version Switch. Unless you Patch Boot0 etc. Also it is just a "boring" switch I guess, with no DevMenu and to enable DevMenu you require the SDK :] which no one have.

So, bascially if he bough it off Ebay without DevMenu he wasted a lot of money.

tbf he said he bought it as a faulty switch, so even if devmenu was missing he probably still got it for a bargain price anyway, and I'm sure at some point (if it hasn't already) the switch SDK will end up being leaked, and now the keys will be ready to go for decrypting the built in samples/dev tools

Sorry for sounding so ignorant but can someone tell me how this benefits non dev devices?
Click to expand...
doesn't really do anything until someone does something with it, and even then most things (like devmenu) will probably be replaced with a better homebrew replacement fairly quickly

its mostly just useful for the curious
