Homebrew Switch Hacking & Homebrew Discussion

Hate to be that guy, but since they are offering bounties on this wouldn't it be best to secure the info somehow? I'd be surprised if the exploits last all that long on a public forum this time around.

Anyway, best of luck. I was hoping there was already a homebrew out so I could put more stuff on my switch.

I can't say this for sure but I'm certain Nintendo would look around to see if the exploit is public anyway and refuse payment. I don't think anyone can just claim themselves the author of a hack/exploit and grab some cash.

I have a question, it may sound stupid but I am on FW 2.1.0 atm if I stay on that version would I still be able to use
potential future homebrew entry points?

Never mind figured out my issue.

TC mentioned that he was able to utilize the Wii U settings to make the Switch system crash. Does this mean one can install a program that recognizes the Switch filesystem and plug it into the USB to manage files?

 

[James0607]

Been looking at the switch file that gets saved to the micro SD and alot of Microsoft windows lines are in it.

even some opinions for USB keyboard, Webcam and mouse that are set to off.


To find file just put in the micro SD into the switch and then when after it restarts just take card and put into laptop and look at folder Nintendo.


may not be useful to anybody but i just find it odd that it has a list of windows OS and a lot of lines are for windows.

Meh, just got mine yesterday and it came on 1.0.0. Updated without hesitation. I'm not staying on an outdated version missing newer features, waiting for an exploit that may or may not come out in the next 2-3 years.

We will be long past it before we get any sort of hacks

So I turned on my Switch after turning it off 2 weeks after launch

I think I'm on 2.0 cos I remember updating it and it is now telling me I have an update = not on latest

OP says I can access eShop

I set DSN indicated in OP and reboot, but cannot access eShop, however I managed to download and patch BotW

Is this "you can access eShop" thingy dead ?

 

[Cochu]

I just hope that if anyone finds a vulnerability or maybe a possibility of piratery before a lot of games are published, they shouldn't make it public, it would mean third parties making less games for it because of course if you make a game you want to gain some kind of profit out of it right?

 

[HitchensRIP]

IF YOU'RE STILL ON 2.0.0 DO NOT UPDATE TO 2.2.0, YOU CAN STILL ACCESS THE eSHOP BY REBOOTING YOUR SWITCH!

To get rid of the update nag:

• Set 205.166.76.187 as your primary DNS in the settings
• Complete power off the console (hold power button > Power Options > Power Off)
• Turn back on

Im on 2.0 and I cannot access the eShop after doing the above. Any idea (apart from updating) ?

the kind of impact of this kind of this kind of hacking on those companies is very minimal.

1) To access the eshop on 2.0.0 just need to shutdown and restart.
Then quickly go to the eshop before it has time to check your version.

2) Another way is to block the the following URL's in your router:

sun.hac.lp1.d4c.nintendo.net
beach.hac.lp1.eshop.nintendo.net

Then you can access the eshop anytime and dont have to worry about the update nag.

Ive set the DSN as per OP and that seems to have blocked the update nag

the "you have to be quick" part I didnt know - I will try once I get home

 

[HitchensRIP]

2.3.0 is out apparently

 

[anhminh]

Compare to other recently scene, Switch doesn't do too good because it doesn't have backward compatibility which usually the first thing that get exploited.

So either this mean we can get Switch exploit faster because there isn't anything else to focus on or we have to wait very long time because almost everyone fetch without an easy entry.

Is it possible to play mario kart 8 dx online with dns 205.166.76.187?

 

[EpicLPer]

I've updated the DNS address to 173.255.238.217 now since that seems to be a better solution. You're still able to access the eShop (with a reboot) and play online with that one.

 

[MSco]

I can even download game updates with this DNS. However, this DNS blocks system updates very well. It shows, that there is an system update available, but you cannot download it.
Seems to be the best solution.

The first post could maybe use some information about the safety boot? The one with both the volume buttons pressed? And what it can do? Maybe?
