But. They can make it much harder to reverse engineere their firmware. Meaning. If TX now becomes your only firmware source. And they cant keep up with Nintendos releases. At some point you are stuck with a system that might not be able to go online, or play the most current games, and that is DRM protected by a company named TX...

And then TX "vanishes" at which point you have a Switch TX, son. ;)

(And better hope, that you can at least restore an original nand backup.)

Difference to all other CFWs in extistence before: TX's is DRMed and not open source. Company means - that they can be shut
down.
"Company means - that they can be shut down"
LOL no it doesn't , TX has been around for over a decade
they are obviously beyond the reach of the criminal US empire
and N of japan
like all the other people who have sold wii modchips ,wode's ,DS ,and 3DS flashcarts
there is nothing they can do these "companies" operate far outside the jurisdiction
of Nintendo and there will always be resellers who do also and certainly
website distributing updates that do also

You might have a point - distributing Nintendo Switch Firmware - modified, and DRMed, with every new update N releases, for profit, as a company, longterm - seemed -- impossible at first and second glance... ;)

I was just trying to be helpful, They have it for $50. But at least they had a paypal. So you could get your money back if something went wrong.

    but its a custom os for both of them
  • ColdBlitz @ ColdBlitz:
    designed for only specific hardware
  • ColdBlitz @ ColdBlitz:
    so you have to learn to emulate that specific hardware which isn't as easy as you'd think
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    It's a locked down Linux distro basically
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I think the only custom hardware is to do with the SSD and a security chip
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Probably combined in one chip
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    They place married security chips onto boards iirc

    Every games basically cross platform they only have about 6 titles making it worth the $600 price tag
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Didn't see much need for a console, all the advantages have kind of disappeared
  • ColdBlitz @ ColdBlitz:
    the ps3 used to support installing linux because the cpu was so powerful
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:

  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    The ps3 was always Linux they just found a way to make it open source

    I'm avoiding buying from the big 3 at all atm
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:

    considering the steamdeck can emulate the switch (yikes) theres almost 0 reason to buy the switch apart from playing online and using cartridges
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Xinput and 360 dongles were a driver nightmare

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Yeah the 360 dongles sucked
