Hacking POLL: Best CFW Feature

[Deleted member 546149]

CFW for the switch has tons of amazing features, what's the best.

 

[IC]

Game modding and having more control over the normally locked-down Nintendo system. I'm not going to pay a dumb yearly subscription just to backup my save files to some unnecessary cloud when I should be able to do it myself...

Piracy best option

Piracy best option

Just pick sigpatches then

 

[Deleted User]

Stop. Also Overclocking or HB Games

 

[Xilith]

you forgot the xci mounting

you forgot the xci mounting

Just vote other

 

[wiiNinja]

Definitely game modding. Gives gameplay a new dimension that the original developer never even thought of (or didn't want to touch).

 

[lordelan]

RetroArch, RetroArch, RetroArch! (voted "hb gaming" for that)

Also:

you forgot the xci mounting

Saving SD space by mounting XCIs from an external drive is the single nice feature left for SX OS. As soon as someone finally comes along with an Atmosphère solution for this I won't ever boot into SX OS again.

oc and emulation, nothing tops these two

 

[thesjaakspoiler]

Using a Switch to play videos with Pplay.
Just as with the Wii, Nintendo never bothers to add such features just to save a few pennies.
Just running Pplay got me also banned so I'm now a pirate for life *harharhar

Just wish it had pop up polls everyday like here....JK Homebrew apps that do other things are the best.

 

[bonoboy]

Emulators?

 

[Disco Inferno]

Homebrew utilities, like file managers and stuff. Anything that will let me accidentally brick my Switch.

Which probably never comes. SX OS uses code from nintendo. And other devs would also need this. And this is illegal. Correct me if i'm wrong.

It is illegal, but its for our benifet
Imagine if someone used Mariko's leaked boot rom

I voted sigpatches but my switch would never been hacked if emunand was not here.

Here my tier list

[A]Emunand, Sigpatches
B - HB games, Themes, Game Modding
[C]Other (Homebrew utility), Dual boot (Android/Ubuntu)
[D]Downgrading (I will probably never use it)

It is but there's still two possible ways I can think of how this would happen:
1. Someone finds an exploit do make an open source app/sysmodule that can do it without the need for copyrighted code from Nintendo.
2. Someone may use Nintendo's copyrighted code to achieve this but keeps it closed source and claims he didn't so we (and Nintendo) will never know how it works but only that it works. I could live with that imho.

The heck do you mean by "NAND"? First off, Switch doesn't have a "NAND"; it has an eMMC. I mean just look at what Hekate offers to dump and it never uses the word "NAND". And if that is what you were going for, I don't see the purpose in including it since the whole point of an eMMC backup is to recover from a brick that can only happen if you hack the console in the first place AKA circular reasoning.

Sigpatches and XCI mounting are my two top priorities!
