Homebrew Switch Hacking & Homebrew Discussion

I bet the Fuze studio games runs in a sandbox mode. So they won't be able to get out in to the rest of the system.

unless you can find some kind of exploits in that kind of sandbox or it lets you make actual games that don't go through the sandbox.

We'll see probably later this day.

Like I said in that thread: Hopefully, if needed, we will be able to downgrade, if needed :/

That's still very unlikely, I'mma stay on 2.3 until someone confirms that it works.

Good thing I waited for more sources to state it was safe and didn't update. Rip those who did.

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

To get rid of the update nag:

• Set 173.255.238.217 as your primary DNS in the settings
• Complete power off the console (hold power button > Power Options > Power Off)
• Turn back on

Spoiler

Like in the "old Wii U days" where we had an active and ever so blooming thread with Homebrew, Discussion, Suggestions, Drama, Trolls and more I'd love to see something like this for the Switch again.
This is the reason for this thread. I'll try and update this post with useful information as much as I can and you guys can help doing so! If something new arises from the hacking community simply post it in here and, if possible, mention me so I'll see it instantly. I can then easily update this post to reflect the newest and hottest Switch news.
Of course, inspired by @filfat and a huge thanks for the Wii U thread he made which sadly over the past few months went more and more inactive.

FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions)​

• Can we run Homebrew yet?
  No. It's far too early but the hacking community makes steady progress.
  
• Should I stay on FW 1.0.0?`
  Probably not. You'd have no way to run the exploit since there's no browser or anything else helpful.
  
• Should I update to 2.0.0 as soon as possible?
  Most likely yes, since future updates could fix potential entry points we have right now. And we're not yet sure if updating from 1.0.0 forces to 2.0.0 or further on.
• What's with all these Emulator videos popping up online?
  All fake. These are simply videos played via the web browser with some of the above mentioned tools.

@EpicLPer UPDATE THIS THREAD ALREADY!!! We've gone through 2.1, 2.2, AND 2.3, 2.3 has been confirmed to work, then 3.0 came out and that may possibly block PegaSwitch again, AND you didn't update the thread.

--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------

HitchensRIP really is RIP.

--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------

But don't worry, there WILL eventually be an exploit for that version, too.

Up to 3 dys ago I was 2.0 as I was travelling and had no time to log into here - I hate myself right now

Currently sat on 2.2 myself. Atleast PegaSwitch works there. holding on to 2.2 for dear life, DNS up and everything.

Well Pega is said to be working on 3.0.0 too but some NS Sysmodule isn't vulnerable anymore, apparently

Why tho? It wasn't that extremely out of date since it just mentioned 2.0.0 in the FAQ but said don't update beyond 2.0.0 on the top

But in reality, updating way up to 3.0 is fine and dandy. You missed out on a LOT of news.

You should really go over all of the news.
