if a new team do comes i hope they bring a brain with them, i'm sick and tired of seeing cool projects with teams with big egos
I'm more interested in a MIG-style cartridge again, than CFW bullshit, key dumping, and modchips.
I'm getting tired of the MIG Switch bandwagon and its many restrictions, yet people keep buying them for the convenience and nitpicking about how it's better than mod chipping. Pirated and backup ROMs will work; however, they must all be signed, and the certificates mustn't be tampered with. ROM hacks will not work, nor does running homebrew as it mimics the same I/O as a retail game, and since homebrew is unsigned, you need custom firmware.
modding your console while risky depending on the console is still really good for preservation, not even just for games but the systems software itself, that is THE reason i have modded consoles as well as flashcarts and one of the main reasons i joined GBAtemp so i could learn more ways to preserve games and media that i enjoy, but a mig is something i'll never buy until the switch is long past it's time i always support companies on their current system and if they have things like NSO that i dislike, i find something else to do in my spare time and if the console itself is not my thing i just sit out that generation
I'm fine with just playing my own complete backups, that's all I want. I just don't want to risk getting a ban though. To be able to travel with my switch and keep my physical carts at home.
I doubt this. The vulnerability allowing ALL patched Switches to be hacked is in the Tegra X1 SOC made by Nvidia (for that matter so is the vulnerability in unpatched Switches albeit a different one). This vulnerability was discovered, documented, and tested with a proof of concept by security researchers, not a console hacking group. Hacking groups did take the exploit and package it into a chip that could apply it reliably to the SOC in addition to building a custom firmware around it that would run unsigned code. None of this would have existed without the hardware flaw though. You can be assured that modern SOCs will not be vulnerable to voltage glitching. In simple terms the Tegra X1 does not have any checks to watch the voltage after a certain point. If I understand correctly the mod chips monitor communication between the SOC and the EMMC and at a specific point in the CPU initialization drop the voltage for a fraction of a second. The end result is that a security check returns a 1 instead of a 0 and allows the CPU to run the custom unsigned firmware (Hekate) when it should have been rejected.
Which team? Since there been Two Xecuter teams. One from the 360 days and then the one for the Switch
I'm not so sure who the creators of that exploit were. My understanding is that it was Plutoo who started it all.
That vulnerability already existed before the Switch existed. So it's not something relevant if we talk about where the Switch modification started.
Yes this was my point. The vulnerability being used on the Switch wasn't/isn't a Nintendo or Switch vulnerability but a Tegra X1 vulnerability. It was simply used to hijack the Switch before any OS level security is even involved.
Has there ever even been proof anyone was ever bricked? This is the kind of thing that angry anti-paid hacks throw around when they want to slander shit.
To my understanding SX-OS included crack detection code and brick code but there weren't any cases of someone being bricked and when Team Xecuter got called out for it they removed it. They did however deny it was brick code and instead called it a challenge for developers or something along those lines.Has there ever even been proof anyone was ever bricked? This is the kind of thing that angry anti-paid hacks throw around when they want to slander shit.
REEEEE CLOSED SOURCE! BRICK CODE! DANGEROUS! IT SHOULD BE FREE AND ON GITHUB!
The sequence of things here is hilarious. Mega corp. creates product and methods to prevent cracking. Security researchers and hacking groups crack it anyway. Hacking group develops anti-crack strategies in their own cracking device/CFW so they can be the only one and profit off of it....
There have been bricked 3ds consoles. Even using an official gatewayHas there ever even been proof anyone was ever bricked? This is the kind of thing that angry anti-paid hacks throw around when they want to slander shit.
