All i can gather so far from this tweet are two things ... They have a POC for reading and writing to switch internals that has been verifiable and only now can they try and craft some kind of HomeBrew Channel for the Switch. We would of seen a video posted otherwise if this wasn't the case... Secondly, I don't think Plutoo was working with Daeken and the peeps behind ReSwitched but instead is referring to Smea and Yellows8 so it is likely they all now have the entry point as well. I hope some video proof surfaces before the year is out.

Most of the creators also cooperate with findings. But who know, maybe they race/compete with each other for funsies.

let's just hope @Daeken doesn't cash in on the hard work he collaborated on and only uses his new work for Hacker One, it would be a shame if @SciresM ended up doing alot of that hard work and got nothing for his trouble, or hopefully SciresM can also get in on that Hacker One action and reap the rewards for his hard work.

...And another 12 year old who wants his haxorz and warez. If I was the devs of these hacks I certainly wouldn't release them to the public when the public includes idiots like this. They should make their money with HackerOne and call it a day.
or, they could hold their exploits until the Switch is EoL.

I'd be into a hack that lets me pirate games. But I'm still on 1.0.0. My gf plays PPT on it but that's once in a blue moon. Would be nice to try out some of the other games.

i dont know what this thread is useful for, qlutoo posted that he made something nice and interesting
i think qlutoo was excited to tell the ppl its going on but this does not mean its ready for public release
give him time and then he will maybe talk about it when its time to it
there is no claim that he has to release it what he found

since there are stupid trolls who dont know normal behavior, if i would have done something like qlutoo and read something like this thread here i would keep it private

take care of you and your thoughts and if they may harm ppl you dont know personally

Daeken is now on the dark side R.I.P.

@Topic
Just out of interest does anyone know if @Daeken and @SciresM was involved in the hack, and if @Daeken was able to take it with him to Hacker1?
at least smea (edit: not smea - scires) was not i guess (judging after reading his twitter reaction to plutoos post)

What was smeas post? I had to delete Twitter for storage.
Interesting to see what Daekens move will result in though, I'm not judging him I should add just actually interested into how this plays out.

Oh f*** sciresm not smea :rofl2:. To many shit posts about smea in here :rofl2::rofl2:. Scires said "Serious congrats! :D" in response....

About daeken i don't like hackers if they go white hat. You can make money with this stuff without becoming the puppy of the tech giants.

Ah lol, yeah I saw some kid spewing bullshit about Smea in here too. I didn't even think Smea was getting involved in the Switch scene so don't know what he was trolling about.

Ah, well nice of SciresM to wish Daeken well anyway, like I said earlier the only thing I hope is that Daeken doesn't profit for collaborative work with reswitched as that would be, in my eyes, unethical.

Anything else Daeken does I can't really judge, I have my personal opinions on it ofc but it's not my place to judge how someone wants to use their talents.
And if I'm honest the way some people shit post I'm not surprised, I wouldn't want to work for people like that either lol.

fuck hacker one NIntenshill

if they are smart they will sell it to someone like a GW team ,
we get an early piracy device that maybe can do homebrew at launch or added later and then later they release it anon publically later after whoever they sell it to makes their money

Daeken isn't "on the dark side" -- his employment (and congrats to him!) does not preclude him from Switch hax and does not compel him to share bugs with N -- he's still working on hax.

Obviously anything I ever work on will be released in time -- I don't believe in keeping things unreleased indefinitely.

All that said, Qlutoo is immensely talented -- it doesn't do well to talk about a lack of release as soon as he has managed (incredibly impressively) to get arbitrary RW in the kernel. There's a *ton* of stuff that goes into a proper exploit release, and immediately dropping your stuff before you've developed it would be moronic.

Might I remind you all that Arm9loaderhax was in large part Qlutoo's work at 32c3?

Just be patient, hax isn't on the immediate horizon, but everything in time.

Thank you for clarifying the current situation and cuting short those silly rumors, these threads tends to transform into a shitshow most of the time.

People went insane in here. Sheesh.

Need to learn patience, and some times that not every piece of work is for you. Maybe we'll here more at 32c3, maybe we won't. Maybe he'll keep it a secret forever, maybe he'll tell us all about it in a few weeks to months when its ready for actual proper public release (and won't brick your console).

And, again, this isn't the 3DS. He's not going to open a grand door for your hax. Appreciate the work, don't demand results from something you didn't do.

    yall im torn... ive been hacking away at tales of phantasia GBA (the USA version) and have so many documents of reverse engineering i've done
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I just found out that the EU version is better in literally every way, better sound quality, better lighting, and there's even a patch someone made to make the text look nicer
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    Do I restart now using what i've learned on the EU version since it's a better overall experience? or do I continue with the US version since that is what ive been using, and if someone decides to play my hack, it would most likely be that version?
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    @TwoSpikedHands, I'll preface this with the fact that I know nothing about the game, but, I think it depends on what your goals are. Are you trying to make a definitive version of the game? You may want to refocus your efforts on the EU version then. Or, are you trying to make a better US version? In which case, the only way to make a better US version is to keep on plugging away at that one ;)
  • Sicklyboy @ 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 @ 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 @ 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 @ 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
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I appreciate the insight!
  • The Real Jdbye @ 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 @ 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
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    why the shit does the shitbox randomly insert newlines in my messages
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It does that when I edit a post.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It inserts a newline in a random spot.

    do y'all think having an sd card that has a write speed of 700kb/s is a bad idea?
    trying to restore emunand rn but it's taking ages... (also when I finished the first time hekate decided to delete all my fucking files :wacko:)
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @Karma177 that sd card is 100% faulty so yes, its a bad idea
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    even the slowest non-sdhc sd cards are a few MB/s
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    @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)
