Homebrew Switch Hacking & Homebrew Discussion

[xZaggin]

Will we ever see a hack similar to A9LH for the 3DS on the switch?

A B9S equivalent would be preferable, but that would involve a firmware vulnerability being introduced in an update. Currently the hardware vulnerability does what's needed for most homebrew functions.

Has anyone been able to get Pegaswitch on a 2.20 Switch? I want to know if the tutorial works before I try it just incase it ends up making me update it.

Hello! I’m curious, I don’t have a Switch yet, but I plan to get one. Once I do, how will I be able to Homebrew it? Do I just keep up to date on things? Or what? And what’s the best program to run Homebrew on currently?

 

[Menos]

Maybe it was asked previously, but, does anybody developing simple brew to fully lock internet connection? (maybe simple proxy, etc.)

If you want to install homebrew on your switch, simply follow this tutorial: https://gbatemp.net/threads/switch-hacking-101-how-to-launch-the-homebrew-menu-on-4-x-5-x.504012/

I see. Thanks.

Is there a homebrew that lets me mount the microSD to transfer files back and forth?

This would save time from having to take the microSD out and doing the shorting again of the pins.

This thread is pretty much dead, can someone un-sticky this?

I bought a jig here ans an usb-c cable here, if I'm right, this all I need to buy, right?

 

[djricekcn]

as of current, what emulators are best for
1) (S)NES
2) Game Boy (Advance)
3) Playstation 1
4) Wonder Swan Color
5) Turbo Graphics 16 Super CD ROM

and are they all working near perfect for most roms?

I simply can't launch hekate through nxloader. I always get "failed to read device ID, bailing out ", even though the payload works via PC.

So we have ways of installing eshop games now, right? The caveat being that they don't launch. I guess because we need a CFW with sigpatches? Is atmopshere going to implement these at some point in the future, or is it not on the pipeline for reswitched?

That's the goal of Atmosphere because sig patching can be used for a whole plethora of things. SX OS, on the other hand, only applies sig patching when it comes to cartridge emulation.

Is running homebrew emulators for rom games safe as of now? Has there been reports of people banned for running homebrew apps only? I am not interested in running any switch backups or modding any switch games.

I've checked there, but those reports are convoluted with people who ran sx os, layeredfs, cfw, etc. That's the reason why I asked here because this sub seem to be more oriented purely on emulation and homebrew.

Well if you were feeling "lazy", there were some "statistics" you could have checked

Not being lazy at all. I’ve checked. Have you before you’ve made this comment without assumptions? If you did you would find tha the result is obscured like I said before. There are only 2 people that reported in that thread. One guy loaded layeredfs and the other cleared logs. There’s no one that purely used emulation/homebrew only without tampering with anything else. The reason why I asked here is there are probably more legit users here than in the other subs. So I believe my question was fairly reasonable given the circumstances. Not everyone will report in that thread of your’s.

Before I made the thread, I actually collected data from all across GBATemp of people who reported to be banned. Around half of that data actually comes from the thread itself so a lot of it is not properly reported and is represented by the immense amount of white space in the spreadsheet. I have contacted the 2 users in question (used to be 3 but that person doesn't accept PMs for further clarification) and they have not responded yet. So no, the Google Spreadsheet is composed of reports both from within the thread itself and anyone that I see making any claims outside of it. If I do see someone claiming they got banned, usually I follow them up for clarification. The only bans I am not responsible for are the ones outside of GBATemp.

Ok i was under the assumption that the stats on that thread was only gathered from when people posted in there. I did not realize you were proactive in looking for people who posted in other threads as well. Thank you for your efforts then. I’ll stay monitored.
