figure out how to craft a download link to switch/switch 2 firmware updates

It’ll probably require a lot of web hacking

There is already like 2 sites that carry firmware updates for them. Not sure why we would need more

 

[a_username_that_is_cool]

we need 112

Assuming you mean to make the console download a modified firmware from a custom server, it won't work on an unhacked console because of keys and encryption

Probably just switch 2 ones actually

Then you need a way to decrypt them as previous comments have said. Plus a way to export it out from the unit itself.

That’s what my download link idea was for
Also it might just be an iso/img file that you could mount with linux(ares)

how? You can't without the decryption keys.

I can't tell if you're dumb, or just trolling the troll

What is even going on here? Shouldn't you as a moderator be closing these troll threads off, instead of replying to them?

I think it's valid to keep a thread open to educate people instead of going ‘You're stupid. Closed.’ This person does feel just inexperienced for me instead of trolling, TBH.

There is no education to be found here. They are either trolling, or drooling.

maybe the power of suggestion, or angry shouting

The firmware is already attainable from devkits

No idea why we'd need to, the Switch 2 firmware hasn't been decrypted yet, nor has the system been hacked.

I'm surprised that this thread hasn't been locked yet... No, the Switch 2 still hasn't been hacked and I assure you that if it were as easy as just modifying a HorizonOS image and flashing it to the console, the people that have been scouring the OS for vulnerabilities would've seen that already - and either reported that to Nintendo's HackerOne bounty program or released an exploit for it.

After reading your posts and remembering when I tried (and at one time succeeded) to extract ROMs from retro consoles firmware updates, I have realized that I was wrong yet again. Insert that one Yakuza gif here.

Ok but Tinfoil shop on Switch2 when?
