Hardware [DISCUSSION] What do you think when will somone manage to run unsigned code on the Switch?

[Mikemk]

Nintendo will open up development for everyone, so homebrew out of the gate. But no piracy until November 19, 2022

Assuming you don't mean some smacks whatever web browser it ends up with hard enough that HTML5/javascript spits out something that classifies then

In the year 2525


Maybe 2112


Failing that
When I am 64


If they have used a more well known kernel for it then sooner. If they have rolled their own then later, though we will probably have a giggle at their silly mistake as and when it happens. I doubt it will be a celebrated day as there are already devices that outclass it and given a year or two it will be even more common.

When dou y´all think that someone wil run unsigned code, or any flashcard seller will come up with a switch flashcard? for the 3ds all this took some years.
Also I´m kinda curious what the file formats will be, how the fw will be, the NAND etc...
So what are your thoughts on when someone will manage to run unsigned code on a retail console?

Shitpost

Guys whats wrong with you discussing hacks already! Let the system come out first... We want nintendo to succeed in regards to sales so 3rd party support increases!

 

[Gizametalman]

I think that, if someone manages to crack the system, they'd probably replace the "operative system" with a copy or maybe another one using Android as a base.
Because, you know? Candy Crush deserves to be on the Switch.
I'm being sarcastic.

I have tried Nintendo consoles with no games, kind of prefer the ones with games. If such a thing would lead to it having games then is it a bad thing?

The 3ds took many years to be exploited. But IMO that's because not many people were working on it. If some of the 3ds and Wii U exploiters starting poking around, I'm sure it will get done faster than how long the 3ds and Wii U took. Plus we need to have devs not announce something until they are almost ready to release, because the Wii U scene was a complete wreck up till last summer due to projects being announced and never being release to the public, which caused the Wii U scene to basically dwindle to almost nothing for quite a while.

I'm still curious if the OS itself is based on Android or not.

well for start the switch is not like the 3ds

But they both use ARM

 

[SonicCloud]

Well on September a new flashcard will come called "CrownSwitch" and will play .Switch games with a cost of $72 !

Thats what I personally think gives devs a upperhand in a sense.

PPC is a nightmare to code for, especially the Wii U, I hear ARM is more developer friendly.

$72 wouldn't be a bad price considering a standard game is around $60.

Since you two didn't got the joke :
Back in 2011 a flashcard for 3DS got announced as Crown3DS and in the end on their website there was only a bar saying that they are progressing and it was stuck at 72% *that's why the $72 price*
