Underground scene piracy group known as BigBlueBox are at it again, this time releasing a further 2 master keys for use with the Nintendo Switch.[prebreak]1[/prebreak]
In their latest Switch game cartridge dump, the group have now revealed the master_key_01 and master_key_02 key strings (only the 00 key was available up until now).

"this will allow you to decrypt all your dumpable NCA files as well as our currently released games so far apart from Bayonetta2 as thats master_key_03"

It's worth noting that these keys can be used to decrypt .NCA files, the same week a Switch game cart dumper was released.

At the time of writing it is still impossible to run ripped Switch game cartridge files, but after this week, and a year of Switch hacks - it looks like we are closer than ever to seeing retail games running on hacked Switch systems.

Yeah, you cannot make a 1:1 backup from a retail game. The game must be ripped to ISO then patched, then burnt to CDR. I think if you did burn the game to a Blank Dreamcast CDI disc, it would work without patching the game, but im sure to sure since its been a very long time since I messed around with Dreamcast Modding. But if that is true, wasn't it very hard to get your hands on Official Dreamcast CDI Discs or something like that? I don't know, I forget.

What I do remember is that 1:1 copies never worked, the ISO must be patched then burnt to CDR for it to load in the Dreamcast without any mod on the Dreamcast.

the Dreamcast used a simple hot swapped loader CD. not long after that the games themselves had the loader files written to the first sector of the disc that the laser would first read. you also had to burn dummy data to push the data to the outer parts of the disc to allow for faster loading.

The Dreamcast used GDI disks. Yeah it's hard to get ahold of one much less a GDI burner. I'm not sure if that'll work either,

If someone would just make a USB CD-ROM driver for the Switch we could use that Dreamcast boot disc to load backups. Problem solved.

When we will know the MasterKey 03?

see how this post is done? this is how it should have been on your site. if you wanted to post the key you could have. no need to allow those pics to be posted. i mean i don't expect much from you, but i did think you would have some common decency. like do i really need to remind you how shitty the ps3 scene was to devs and how it caused a ton to leave? do you want that to happen to the switch too? you don't like the devs that's fine, no need to be shitty towards them. they're people too and deserve to be treated with the same respect you would want to be treated with.

There's poking fun, and then there's just being a scumbag, which is where you're at. Your idea of "scene drama" is cheap and manufactured for desperate clicks. Big shocker, but no one cares about your disgusting post. All you've done is cause people to react with disgust to your site.

I didn't make the 'pastebin' up with the keys, just reporting the news, i don't censor news, yes it is sad what the anonymous author did, but the mud-slinging has been going on from both sides for a few months now.

It was not manufactured for clicks, find the pastebin author and ask him/her why they did it, maybe then you can understand the underlaying reasons it has gone to this level and its not the first time there been scene drama of the sorts, it will always occur, don't shoot the messenger.

Better yet, keep being a dick. I cant wait for you to get permabanned.

i dont like the way the article tackles these guys, i havent been long here. either they are good or not. not a way to treat someone who contributes to the scene.
pathetic

its good that we got the key, but the way its posted jeez.
someone hates them for sure to do that sort of stuff.

or someone that didn't like all the blackmailing and mud-slinging and ddos'ing and hacking attempts that been going on for last few months that certain people were supporting.

there will always be drama when it comes to commercial and free solutions and unreleased exploits being used for profit, nothing new, its just sad that both sides like to poke personally at people and ddoxed them, no reason to stomp to that level, in the end all we want is to play games on our switch, and enjoy things that nintendo will not allowed.

or someone that didn't like all the blackmailing and mud-slinging and ddos'ing and hacking attempts that been going on for last few months that certain people were supporting.

there will always be drama when it comes to commercial and free solutions and unreleased exploits being used for profit, nothing new, its just sad that both sides like to poke personally at people and ddoxed them, no reason to stomp to that level, in the end all we want is to play games on our switch, and enjoy things that nintendo will not allowed.

Only 4 teams have shown the ability to hack/obtain keys so far. Reswitched (doubt they did this to themselves), fail, unlikely. Leaves bbb and TX. Unless theres now a 5th player?
