Hacking Is CFW patchable?

[Slartibartfast42]

If you´re so worried about getting caught playing illegaly obtained software for you Switch, i´d recommend you to just buy the games you are intrested in instead.

OK great. Do you have a job for me? Because i need money to buy games and a job to get money.

i see...
then, why havent they did the same thing on 3ds/wiiu?

The 3ds has an unpatchable exploit, so the only thing Nintendo could do would be to launch a "new new 3ds" with different hardware

Yeah, even though backups are possible, it's always the best to buy the cartridge versions of games unless a game is not on cartridge.

Probably Nintendo will ban regardless if they detect CFW usage.

The way CFW is being designed, one should never have to update one's sysNAND, which makes a brick very unlikely. It also makes removing access to CFW nearly impossible.
It's the emuNAND that will be updated, and it doesn't really matter what happens to the emuNAND.

Everything you just said there is wrong.

Example: look @ FW 5.0.0. for the Switch. They designed it now in a way that there is no easy entry path for hacks. Sure a hardware mod might still be possible.

I don't think you guys are on the same page B4rtj4h. What does 5.0.0 have to do with CFW not being removable? How is any of what he said wrong, considering he's taking the words pretty much from Sciers' mouth?

TBH: I stopped replying to this post...
Software, firmware is ALWAYS replaceable.
My point and what I believe the OP meant was that if you have CFW installed if it was still possible to install a regular update and if that could break the CFW or Switch in total.

that

When you say "Ban is also pretty obvious", do you mean Ninty can detect CFW with me just being online?

Easily

Probably. I'm sure Nintendo learned a few things from the 3DS days.

Didn't happen on the Wii U if you used the eShop. If you cheated online however..

That site is definitely not helpful, full of generic advice job seekers already know at least after a little while. The job has to be pretty perfect to actually get it, or else there is always another person more suited. You also need a connection, because most jobs go totally unpublished. With the published job listings, you have literally hundreds of people competing for that one job.

No it isn't. The 3DS has a permanent hack, not replaceable.

Seriously, the internet makes things so easy these days, talking about theft of intellectual property so openly...Yes, getting a job is hard, yes, it is much easier to hit that download button, and yes, it feels like nothing until one is the actual victim of theft. Seriously, none of us need games. Food and shelter? Definitely. Yet one takes because one can..

Everything you just said there is wrong.

Example: look @ FW 5.0.0. for the Switch. They designed it now in a way that there is no easy entry path for hacks. Sure a hardware mod might still be possible.

Atmosphere-NX is being designed to have an option for emuNAND in the absence of a persistent coldboot hack. When Atmosphere-NX is completed and released, I will hypothetically be able to boot into it on my 3.0.0 Switch, and that will load my 5.0.0 emuNAND. In other words, once an emuNAND solution is released, there's no reason to update one's sysNAND, and so there's no way for Nintendo to patch any entry points on the sysNAND.

I might sound a bit paranoiac, but I'll still ask it
could it be possible that, once cfw are released, Nintendo will wait a couple of month, so that many users get cfw
and then, release a CFW-bricker/banner patch?
Like, trapping as much switch as possible, to make us buy another one

Again, since the sysNAND won't be touched, the only real risk is to your emuNAND, which will be able to be backed up, restored, etc.

That is in my eyes exactly the same thing.

If you have a CFW installed, you can update your console and that update can overwrite the CFW part.
Wii -> iOS that became stubs...

A person using CFW should not update his or her sysNAND, so exploits won't be overwritten. In other words, once an emuNAND solution is released, I should be able to stay on 3.0.0 for the rest of my life. My emuNAND will be the only thing that's ever updated.
