Homebrew PSA: we don't know anything about homebrew or piracy on Switch

[linuxares]

Back in late 2013/early 2014. You might know it as Palantine cfw.

Wasn't Palantine CFW made by Palantine, but used code by Yellows8?

 

[Deleted member 414991]

Yes. Most of the code was from Yellows8. Yellows8's cfw was leaked by giovanify.

We still know nothing about piracy

Now you can change the title to: "Yes, we do!"

 

[Tsubakiandou]

unpin this thread

No, we still can't launch hombrew

Actually, we can. But only in Userland mode, currently. Software used for kernel mode exploits haven't been made yet, but the exploit is already public. A Nintendo Switch has to be on firmware 3.0.0 or lower though.

Homebrew on Nintendo Switch in the future may also be able to prevent the Nintendo Switch from burning eFuses, so that if anyone wants to remove CFW at any time, they could restore the original bootloader and burn the eFuses to the amount that the current OFW requires.

the title should be changed to "yes we know some things about homebrew but not enough to make a huge deal and bitch about it"

 

[WiiFoundLove]

Hm, it's just a thought, but if the eFuses are only checked on boot, it simply would mean that we can't spoof the switch permanently. Don't know what this means for the standby, if they are also checked on wakeup. The other thing is if/when we'll be able to extract the keys from further updates to access the nintendo online services. Can we extract the current keys?

So like should this be deleted or changed now or....?

Well, until the Switch can run a full Homebrew app or a dumped ROM this thread still has relevance.

maybe have it be "PSA: We know very little about homebrew on switch"

 

[PoppaDre]

OMG Switch has homebrew?! Where is the tutorial located?!

Calm down, nothing serious (like HBL and such) just yet.

Sorry for off-topic, but I see a lot of people have blue X-mas hat on the avatar. How do I get one?

it would be pretty easy for you to recolor your avatar with a 8-bit blue hat

You get one after you request one in the 2017 Tempmas hats thread.

I already have one anyway.
