I think this is fine for discussion here.

Are we about to verify the clockspeeds of the X1's CPU and GPU through this exploit?

shame on all of you who wants the switch to be hacked asap
and shame on the op for releasing an exploit

do you realise the moment a console is hacked, company are less attracted by it for making game for it. if you really want the switch to be abandonned by third party, then go ahead, support hacker and press them to release exploit asap

personally, if i were a hacker, i wouldnt release any exploit before about a year before the end of the gen, knowing a AAA game usually require more than a year to produce, i doubt third party company will abandon their project. so if you want a maximum amount of game available for the switch, please, dont release exploit so soon
thanks

Then I guess developers are dumb because pirating PC games is pretty easy.

gaining userland may happen in a month, but it will take time to develop software to actually make use of userland takeover.

Hopefully we can just modify some of the 3DS app sources to work with the switch.

Not with the layers and layers of DRM some devs put on their games...

Most of the time a game gets cracked within a week of release, so I don't think that DRM works well...

denovu not. still all top games are not cracked only a few from old denovu

At least the damage is limited to actual hackers.

On topic, this is really cool and exciting. Hopefully we'll see some advances to a HBL soon

off topic, can we seriously stop talking about piracy and cracking? People need to realize, HOMEBREW DOES NOT EQUAL PIRACY!

No, but not everyone is interested in things beside piracy.

Getting info about the chip itself still seems impossible at the moment.

Well, now's our chance to show them all the cool homebrew things that arent piracy!

We should make our own 1-2-switch.

if 3DS wasnt hacked, pokemon sumo sales would have been way higher

it could have been 4.5 millions if it wasnt hacked...

and i told you to choose, not to take both

Kind of derailing here, but get your numbers straight, please. Thanks. http://gematsu.com/2017/01/pokemon-sun-moon-sold-14-69-million-copies-2016

Normally I'd be setting this up and toying around some. Sadly, port 53 is occupied by dnscrypt on my system and I'm rather lazy.

Isn't the Switch using an unmodified Tegra X1? I'm sure I've read that somewhere...

Yes that's true. It's still the fastest tablet out right now and it's got physical controls.

This isn't working at all for me on v2.1.0:

Success percentage: 0.00 (63 samples)

I did confirm it's executing the javascript function by putting an alert() in

So there we have it ... launch firmware may be the best to keep... Should we stock up ?

how would that help? didn't we need 2.0 for this exploit?

so 2.1 breaks right?
