Hacking Speculations about Switch 2 hacking

[gbazone]

Switch 2 can use a regular SD card, but it is limited to screenshots and video captures. No games can be stored/accessed on it while in use on Switch 2, which includes Switch 1 games. And because the Switch 2 is a completely different system, you can't just download your Switch 1 titles onto the card from a Switch 1, and then insert it into the Switch 2 to access them. They are encrypted by the system's unique signature. Tied to your Nintendo Account, but encrypted by your console.

I was talking about taking a microSD Express card (the new kind) and formatting it FAT32 with a PC SD card reader/writer and seeing how the Switch 2 reacts to it. Because the new cards are compatible with old reader/writers, it should format no problem. To see if it's less limited than just inserting an old type of microSD.

No what it is is the Switch 2 lacks the actual SD drivers in the OS and they arent downloaded unless the user inserts an SD card. This is because they have to pay for usage of the driver so why pay for it on every unit when you can minimize it to just units who are using SD cards.
