Homebrew Discussion Switch online hacked already.

[Saintseiya911]

I read a article that the NES emulator for switch online was hacked already as it uses the same assists from the NES classic and can be hacked via hakchi. What are your thoughts?

 

[Pleng]

What are your thoughts?

My thoughts are that a source would be nice.

 

[Saintseiya911]

Ok no np I'll share the link to the article and if moderators have to take it down so be it https://www.polygon.com/platform/amp/2018/9/19/17879042/nintendo-switch-onlines-nes-emulator-hacked is the link to the article.

They left out Castlevania so I went ahead and added it in, shame on Nintendo

 

[Pleng]

Thanks. That's better.


Now my thoughts are that if you're going to bother hacking this and risking a ban, you may as well just fully hack the unit, anyway.

You need CFW to do it sooo.....

I'm already running cfw so that doesn't bother me just figured to bring this to people's attention as I haven't read no posts here for it and I agree.

Wish it worked on non-linked consoles (cdn banned and had to factory format haha) but it asks to login, if there's a way to launch it unlinked maybe @AnalogMan knows?

 

[Saintseiya911]

It would be very nice to load it without a linked account.

How do I do it? I've seen the Polygon article and a Reddit post but still don't know the steps

Me either I don't know but I'm interested in it.

Literally replace the .nes in the /titles folder of the unpacked nsp.
You can use layeredFS to launch it over the installed vanilla nes nsp, add roms or replace roms, if you add them edit the json file in /titles and convert boxart to the .z format (not sure how myself but you have to)
Literally nintendo used .nes roms, just replace them with whatever and or add new ones

Thanks. I'll look into it tomorrow.

Guess I'll need and nsp unpacker

So this is really a "just because I can" exercise? I mean I assume there's already a NES emulator available for CFW?

Yes and no. This UI is better than a plain list I would say.

Does anyone have a tutorial yet, or is this just a dick-wagging thread? Because they say the ROMs are in plainy .nes format, but they're not anywhere on my SD card, and my SD Card is where everything downloads and installs to.

You gotta extract it using hactool, then you gotta plop the roms right in

Thank you, Google was failing me, probably because this is so new.

 

[SecureBoot]

Dang, I haven't used hactool since the dark ages of backup loading over existing games.
