Browserhax exploit for ipatched Switch hardware will be out later this week

help_6001488428918.png

While prospects for homebrew on newer Nintendo Switch hardware, "ipatched" units, have been fairly bleak, it appears that a new exploit will be here soon. Mike Heskin (hexkyz) has confirmed that a method for users on current Switch hardware is set to be released later this week. Browserhax + nvhax will allow for ipatched systems below OFW 6.2.0 to access userland and use homebrew. This is far more limited than what can be done on unpatched units, but it marks the first breakthrough for newer hardware. Projects that work through userland mode can be found in GBAtemp's emulation, homebrew, and software projects section, and this also means you'll be able to utilize homebrew made for the bounty.

Needs to be clear that this is only a USERLAND exploit. As in you can only play around with the perms userland apps get. (normal apps) this is not CFW.

So yes you can play around with emulators, and most stuff found on the homebrew appstore, but this does not allow mods, piracy, themes and other more advanced homebrew / patches to HOS.

Neat, it'll be nice to see what people can pull off in userland. Had a ton of fun with the apps people made for 3DS homebrew back in the day.

I honesty think Nintendo should have made the Switch games only, is like they forgot everyone who buys a Switch also has a smartphone.

The reason it has a browser is so it can connect to the internet in places where you're forced to click OK or login on a web page before getting internet access. It's the only circumstance where you can even access it, iirc. Maybe also the facebook or twitter login, but I don't remember.

    Blah. 3 of my NSO + Expansion Pass family group members are leaving. Found one replacement so far but still need to fill two empty slots. I have 9 days or i eat the extra cost myself. But with a full group $11 for a year is a good deal. imo
