Hello!
I recently decided "I wonder what would happened if I ran a PS4 exploit on my Switch?".
Now, you might be thinking "Well, it would either not work or crash". Well, it did crash, but the kind of crash interested me.
I ran the exploit, and saw 2168-0002 and I thought "Oh, probably some 'go away script kiddie
( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)' error" but no.
It was a "Data Abort" error. Now, some of the less technical of you won't know what this is, but it's basically the Switch blocking a read (or write, but read in this case) from RAM.
What does this mean for me, or my patched Switch?
Well, nothing really yet. It is still required to
1. Find the address at which we can write to
2. Find the address that is being executed
3. Manage to obtain root level access and/or more RAM (optional)
tl;dr: This doesn't mean anything yet
EDIT: Turns out, the Nintendo Switch has no kernel bugs according to people much better at this then me. This means that not only does it not mean anything, but it probably never will.
