Gaming Can you start patching games? (MHXX)

[Naminave]

I do not want to promote piracy, I just want to know if you could work on a translation patch of the MHXX on Nintendo Switch as it was done in the 3DS version, with the launch of the Homebrew in the hybrid.

Can it be done, yes. Will it be done, maybe?

If you can run a modified game, either you patch it in the memory (which requires a kernel exploit) or patch it in the filesystem (which also requires a kernel exploit). And when you can do that, you'd also be able to run backups. So currently no, and I can't see this be done w/o co-existing with piracy.

To play devil's advocate, this is possible on the 3DS without needing a kernel exploit (HANS).

hopefully if TX or failoverflow release their methods.
