There is nothing in the pipeline for 8.x on patched systems. It might never be hacked, and if it is hacked, it'll probably be years. If you want to hack your system, sell it and get an unpatched one.

It's very very bad news
If RCM exploit wasn't a hardware bug, and it was patched on the early years, I'm certain everyone was trying to discover an entrypoint.
Now that RCM is the most common thing, no one cares about the rest...

People care, but you're right that it's not a priority. However, it should be noted that Nintendo did a really good job with security this time around. It should also be noted that 5.x-7.x will probably be hackable on patched systems in the distant future. If someone a.) willfully purchased a patched systems, and b.) willfully updated to 8.x or bought a patched system on 8.x, then the onus is entirely on the user, not the developers.
We're very fortunate to have the RCM exploit on unpatched systems, we're very fortunate to have the warmboot browser exploit on 4.1 (and eventually 5.x-7.x), and people have been screaming from the mountaintops for years about what to do and not do.
Because by the time an exploit is released for firmware 8.X on patched units, the Switch will most likely be at the end of its life cycle and Nintendo will have moved onto the next console.
We'll probably have usable pk1ldrhax before patched systems on 8x+ are hacked kek
What is the hold up with releasing Deja Vu? It has already been snitched off to Sony - It's been patched in Firmware 8.0 anyway..... Needs to be released so those that can use it "can use it" ????
It's not compatible with anything above 4.1.0 at the moment. While it should be able to be made to work with 5.x-7.x, the work hasn't been done yet.
In the meantime, unpatched Switch systems are hackable using the RCM exploit, and patched systems are hackable on 4.1.0 (without the supernag).

- Get a jig (a paperclip bent properly works nicely).
- Make a backup of your NAND in Hekate before doing anything else.
- Use Atmosphere as your CFW.
- Optional: setup an emuNAND for your offline hackery if you want to use your clean sysNAND for online play.
- Optional: install AutoRCM so you don't need to use your jig anymore.
Atmosphere added support for emuNAND approximately a month ago.
Technically they call it emuMMC, there's supposed to be some difference but I wouldn't know, its more or less the same concept as emuNAND, just keep that name in mind if you have to search.
I don't see any reason for it to not be released then.... Since only 4.1.0 and "maybe up to 7.XX - so it's old news for Nintendo and out of reach for many. I'm on 6.2.0 (need to update) but running AutoRCM with no-fuse burn with 4.1.0 (waiting) in downgrade reachable form. I purchased my Switch (new stock with good serial) just to put CFW on in 5 0r 6 months ago more or less. She's a Dock Queen (little to no use) pretty much to say.
It's not done. That's why.
What are you waiting for? The warmboot browser exploit is probably the best 4.1.0 is ever going to get.

Sicklyboy:
I'm not familiar with the technicalities of the differences between the two versions, but I'm wondering if at least some of those differences are things that you could port over to the US version in your patch without having to include copyrighted assets from the EU version -
@
TwoSpikedHands:
@Sicklyboy I am wanting to fully change the game and bend it to my will lol. I would like to eventually have the ability to add more characters, enemies, even have a completely different story if i wanted. I already have the ability to change the tilemaps in the US version, so I can basically make my own map and warp to it in game - so I'm pretty far into it! -
@
TwoSpikedHands:
I really would like to make a hack that I would enjoy playing, and maybe other people would too. swapping to the EU version would also mean my US friends could not legally play it
-
@
TwoSpikedHands:
I am definitely considering porting over some of the EU features without using the actual ROM itself, tbh that would probably be the best way to go about it... but i'm sad that the voice acting is so.... not good on the US version. May not be a way around that though

@
The Real Jdbye:
@TwoSpikedHands just switch, all the knowledge you learned still applies and most of the code and assets should be the same anyway -
@
The Real Jdbye:
and realistically they wouldn't
be able to play it legally anyway since they need a ROM and they probably don't have the means to dump it themselves -

do y'all think having an sd card that has a write speed of 700kb/s is a bad idea?

@The Real Jdbye it hasn't given me any error trying to write things on it so I don't really think it's faulty (pasted 40/50gb+ folders and no write errors)
