Homebrew Switch Hacking & Homebrew Discussion

Yeah, they've certainly learned a lesson from the 3ds scene.

Maybe it's just due to incompatible firmware on other components? Or a checksum for the system partition like on Android, when it's modified you'll get an either not booting system or a warning you have to agree to.

It's still too early to tell

I know, but it's just speculating here After all this is a discussion thread mostly.

Hello my GBA friends

Short question, my switch is since 3.3.2017 without any update, even not the day 1 update, what do you think, should i do it now? or should i leave it.
Im not sure if later perhaps there will be any exploit but i could not do it without the day 1 update.

Thanks for your support.

Thanks in advance,

All I hope is that the Webkit quicky move to a EmuNand so we are save to update. But if the EmuNand would update System Component Firmware it might get issues =/ with a EmuNand.

Probably update since you have no way of actually exploiting the Switch. There's no browser on 1.0 from what I know.

Can't wait for some user friendly homebrewing for this console! Looking forward to some emulators that I can play anywhere on a decent sized screen. Can't wait! Also, Epic, your profile pic is adorable.

Do we yet know if the Switch does or does not use ASLR?

You can't just "throw a virus" at something, whatever that means. For the record, a virus is just a program, just like anything else on a computer. And to answer your question, they reverse engineer the code of the switch.

Not literally what I meant. I was wondering if they would exploit the Switch the same way they would the Wii U or actually dissect right into the system.

Okay so lemme me just throw this out here: how far are we from dumping saves from Switch?

We need a DEP bypass in order to get homebrew for switch that will allow to dump saves

Thanks for going through the effort to organize this, Epic. Makes it much easier to stay updated without constantly checking and dealing with fake stuff. Thanks much!

@Cyan Would be nice if you wouldn't edit a random post from someone else, instead tell me next time to add it.

Added a FAQ section now, if you want me to add something there tell me

 

[Ghassen-ga]

just curious , does the switch auto-update itself like how it was for the Wiiu ?
