Yes, why not? The console is already hacked so they are already working on it.
They are downgrading Mario Kart World as we speak.

I hope this is true

I hope this is true

Me too. With the tariff the Switch 2 will be about $560.00...no thanks.

Without an exploit this isn't going to happen lol

I can confirm that work is underway to downgrade. I'm in a closed beta with the devs working on downgrading switch 2 games to switch 1. So far the game crashes about 1-2 seconds after booting, right while the boot logo is playing. We're making steady progress!

I might need to say my message were very sarcastic. The Switch 2 isn't even out. It haven't been hacked so it's impossible to tell what can and cannot be done to it.

I guess it's because some people saw an image of the switch 2 homescreen, which looks almost the same as the switch 1, so they think it can be done.

Really, I don't get how someone might think of this, this would be like trying to get FF XVI to work on ps4 since the ui on the ps5 looks similar. My opinion? it won't ever work since switch 2 has more powerful hardware and it also kinda emulates switch 1, so I don't think it's possible even if we know how the system works

we love a fundamental misunderstanding of how things work

 

[gamer765]

the dev team took a few extra beta testers on Friday. Theyre changing gears and porting Switch 2 OS to Switch 1.

Sometimes, the best you can say is nothing... -_-

I have come from the future to tell you, no

 

[Landysodds]

Yes, but you'll have to pay Nintendo $20 for the downgrade

Please downgrade Mario Kart World to the NES. Thanks!

- Games on Switch 2 will expect around 10 GB of RAM, which means extensive patching of executable and assets to fit into 3.25 GB (or 6.5 GB if you have 8 GB RAM mod)
- Cortex A78C is ARMv8.3 core while A57 is ARMv8.2 core. Which means some instructions are not intercompatible between Switch and Switch 2.
- Whole shader recompiling issue comes forth
- Any OS/NVN call exclusive to Switch 2 would need to be hooked and be properly processed


Sometimes it's a virtue to simply think before posting since the first point should be obvious for anybody. And people are paid a lot of money to do the first point - downscaling games from big consoles to small consoles with access to much better resources than modders and hackers.

Won't happen any time soon.
