define "WE" ... I'm 100% sure you meant ... YOU or THEM or THEY....but definitely not WE.

Answering the question in the title: Now that they did away with the joy cons interface, they will probably just hook it up to gpio or something.
In which case the actual home button might work.

wow I don't know what's more shocking: the massive amount of hypocrisy and irony in your reply or the fact that you don't have the common sense to realize it?
And the moment you responded like that, you do realize the point you tried to make is completely wasted, right? and if you don't like it ..GTF off the internet bruh.

You people are so weak and pathetic with your little hyper sensitive feelings and shit, good god, grow up and stop being a whiny little girl scout.

.. all I stated was the absolute truth and obvious. HE wasn't going to do anything and I Didn't use any profanity or foul language
but YOU on the other hand did....so what was your point again other than your my little pony feelings getting hurt?

Mods should just close these kind of threads... always the same thing "when will it get hacked?". "Would it be possible to hack?" Heck! The god damn console isn't even out yet... Are we all gonna die tomorrow? We don't know cause it hasn't happened yet...

They might even just make you press a load of joy con buttons to trigger RCM, they can literally do whatever they want.

There is a very remote chance they will leave the fusee gelee exploit unpatched, they are human and we're well known for making dumb mistakes. I really doubt they will though. Not that I care, I already have a switch and won't be buying a switch lite. A switch pro on the other hand might tempt me, depending on what the features are. It will sit in it's box though until it's hackable though.

So, now that the Nintendo switch lite is announced, how are we going to hack it?
Since the Joy-Cons can't come off, we can't use RCM Jigs with them.

Do you guys have any suggestions on how this is going to work? (And is this a right place to put it?)
I said this in a reddit post, but maybe we should exploit the Toy-Con Garage in Nintendo Labo. Hopefully, we can make an entrypoint so that soft-modding is saved. If not, the SX switch flashcart could possibly, maybe, with a tiny glimmer of hope, be used to launch a program that makes it so that you could unplug the SX, plug it into your PC, and use TegraRCMSmash on it.

Your welcome, and I'm sorry if I got some things wrong; I don't own a switch.

Man, not gonna lie, I think only the emulation and cellphone custom rom communities can be more annoying, take some time to go to XDA devs and you'll cringe right away with the "VOLTE PLS SIR THX", kek.

I actually have a decent idea. If the switch mini really uses the same tegra chip as the OG switch, couldn't we take a vulnerable tegra chip and solder it to a switch mini?

Obviously this would be cost prohibitive unless you had access to a hot air station, but in theory, I don't see why it wouldn't work...

Uhhh I never thought I could "Crack the code" so, what do you mean?
It means that "your idea" won't inspire an EUREKA! moment on hackers... We don't have access to the device and even then it's going to be a while for them to find a vulnerability... If ever because they have access already on the older models...
EDIT: looks like others were kind enough to make the same point...

Hardware other than the main SoC is different as evidenced by information contained in the Mariko Horizon updates.

Flashcarts will never happen for the switch

Obviously the old way of going to rcm isn't going to work anymore so it's going to be a new software exploit or a hardware hack.

The only way you are going to trigger RCM (assuming no other way of accessing) would be to break / join a trace with a switch to the emmc (if it isn`t removable). Something like a push to break switch.

I did it in early days last year on OG switch. Easy enough but margin for error is stupidly high for noobs.

Temporarily cut emmc power - trigger RCM - reapply power. Thats the easy bit.

Finding another way of overflowing the stack and loading unsigned code is the hard bit.
