The DNS method? Oh, may I? Pretty sure you can't load apps or any kind of "backups" using just the DNS method, RCM method being the only way to load homebrew is never going to change. Softmods are 100% impossible on Switch, plain and simple.

What's the reason for asking so "stupid" when knowing the plain and simple facts about the current Switch hacking Situation, or is this a low level engineer joke I'm not getting?

RCM only no doubt, I really don't like having to bridge the pin connectors with a dongle or paperclip just to enable homebrew. A lot can go wrong. With softmod, it's arguably a lot safer, it was with Wii and Wii U, even 3DS.

am i missing something or did sircesm not say there will be a softmod with possible coldboot for <= 4.1.0?

How would one even find that post when there are so many pages and threads/

Way more important feature for me is NSP dumping (than web browser).
Now I have just one wish. When clicking on a title (in title management), show installed DLCs/updates and give the option to uninstall those instead of the whole game (but still keep that option).

I don't think the developer of this homebrew can control that.

Wasn't there another homebrew that enabled the Webbrowser just recently released?

Edit nope that was just eshop with dns

Oh? Should I have been? Softmods are impossible, RCM will be the only method to load homebrew, because Nintendo wised up on the security. As for the 3DS, we merely got lucky with that despite the aggressive firmware updates. Switch is a different matter and RCM is the only reason I'm so cynical about ever hacking mine.

Am I wrong? If softmod was possible we'd have seen something by now.

People thought the exact same thing when 11.4 patched many exploits and downgrading on the 3DS, yet here we are with a method that works up to the latest firmware.
I don't see how the switch is different. There are surely exploits waiting to be discovered, I can bet whatever you want on that.

Deja Vu only just got fully patched on 6.2.0! If it gets chained with other exploits we could potentially have CFW access on firmwares up to 6.1.0!

One would not expect a patron to be a troll, but that's exactly what you are.

I think that <3.0.0 or something didn't have video support, but I'm on 5.1.0 and it's really cool!

Doesn't work on 6.2 with sxos. Tried YouTube and YouTube mobile, iptv etc. No video playback

Don't get me wrong, this is a great feature, but what's it doing in an NSP installer and not as a standalone thing?

There are now similar, standalone versions of this particular feature that you can find here, if you want.

But from what I understand, GoldLeaf means to become more a multi-feature homebrew than just a simple NSP installer, and so this is just one feature of presumably many new features that will be developed for it.

Oh yeah, I've received reports that video fails with SX OS

Sooner or later we will have a installable exploit that runs much in the same way haxchi is on wii u. Its just a matter of time. I dont worry about when i just buy the games i really want to play and archive all the .nsp digital only stuff for when the switch is more conveniently hacked. everyone wants it now tho. Its like they wont use the switch after the next gen is out.. Oh yeah, i almost forgot they have to stay current........

Btw aint RCM mode the safest as it can be used even when the nand is bad or corrupted?

How do you use the browser I updated to .3 in atmosphere but see no way to use it?

It’s a cool update don’t get me wrong, but why?

Because we can.

sith · Jan 22, 2019

A new/better way to access the full native browser is great and makes goldleaf more attractive than ever if it already my goto over tinfoil cause it looks so good..

fact:
The switch is VERY EASILY exploitable. If anyone is waiting for something easier your going to be waiting a while. You are NOT going to damage your switch unless you are reckless. A Atmosphere-Ns dongle is only $15, what, you live in ethopia but you got a switch? a usb-c cable, paperclip and ANY PC then. AutoRCM is great(throw away your paperclip.)

randomizer you cant really be scared to use rcm?? are you playing some sarcastic game? what could happen? mangled joycon rails? in case you are a gorilla they are like $5 to replace.

The rails can easily be replaced if the pins do get ruined, and very cheaply too.

Agahniim · Jan 22, 2019

I don't get why so many people don't see the use of a browser on switch...often I dont have any other device in reach to google something when I'm stuck in a game, this is so helpful. Thank you so much Xortroll

I would not bother with making it work on sxos. If sxos users want a web browser, then TX needs to code their own app & not steal code.

Uhm how about no? It takes way longer to find burnable exploits on a system The switch is a mere < 2 years old. There is not much to research for as long as non-mariko switches are still easily available. Ninty's implementation is still miles behind other competitors, and those got pwned too. (looking at you, iOS)
