shamfur dispray

why didnt he accept ?

 

[naddel81]

that bribe mail was confirmed being fake. apparently he sent it to himself?! or has done that in the past?
I just know that everybody was sceptical if he had the skills to crack it. obviously he hasn't. so sad.

Who says?, you?

It measures the execution time of some parts of the code and if the time isn't correct, the brick code gets executed.

If the next firmware update from nintendo improves the runtime of some basic parts, it could brick a lot of switches.

i doubt it counts "time" there would have been bricks already or they have set a very high threshold. Not every CPU is the same. There will be slight hardware differences making your switch maybe a little faster or slower then others.

It would be safer to count clock cycles because time spend in the debugger will create a very large latency.
Overclocking shouldn't trigger the bricking because the result wouldn't be greater then the value it is compared to...

( I don't know shit about the switch platform or how tx did code it... this opinion is assuming it works the same as i would do it on x86...).

Bricking could happen if a homebrew or Nintendo used more cycles in the boot process (maybe chainloading sx with hekate?). So yes Nintendo could maybe modify the bootprocess and intentionally brick switches using sx. This would be an evil but genius move, because tx will be blamed for it...

( again I don't know how the switch boots but I guess hen-firmware like sx and hekate use custom bootloader not related to ofw used. Thus I don't know if Nintendo could technically modify the boot process of sx causing bricks...).

Not sure what you mean, you mean when autoRCM is installed?

When booting with the tx jig and dongle if + is pressed down will booting it will give you the option to boot what payload you want

Not everyone has the same motivation but i can see 3 different motivations
A) They like piracy but do not want to spend money on it
B) They do not like piracy, as such want this to be cracked to cut some sales from the company, this group would not use this cracked.
C) This is the group of the devs that are cracking it and they seem to be cracking it for fun, for them is like playing a game, is a hobby.

Cut the sales? if anyone wants it they bought it by now. The one that wants sx os to be cracked were the one that want it to be free for piracy. If they only want homebrew there are other options out there.
They are prentending that they want homebrew but they want a crack SX OS so that they will get what they wanted. Backup loader.

PM'd you

i think i found the license in the HxD but im unsure of how to find the sha256 of it and replace the sha256 of stage2.bin can anyone help explain a little more in depth?

 

[masterspike52]

i wonder how many people are aware that the "haters" of TX that come up now and again only hate them because they broke the 1 general rule that 99% of devs follow and its "Homebrew and its utilities should be free" this isnt the ps4 scene where they wait 30 years to drop an exploit for a firmware that got changed 29 ago. Its quite ridiculous that those of you who keep looking at this thread and saying "it wont get released" arent keeping up with anything important from these people such as twitter, reddit, etc.. from what ive seen on hexkys's twitter he's working on the crack and will release it as soon as he can, he has no beef with anyone who wants to pirate, just he himself doesnt do it.

no; it only measures the execution time of ITS OWN code (horizon isn't running yet)

Well, we'll hold our breath till he does

 

[Dabiolos]

There is no need cracking it for the backup loading part. The devs know how to sigpatch hekate or atmosphere already. They just won't do it because they are against piracy.

The only reason for cracking sx is because of the challenge cracking the protection. I hope there will be a good writeup of this and they will release it soon. Should be an interesting read.

 

[IPLbug]

The brickcode was removed in the lastest update to sx os so this should be cracked within a couple of days but I'm pretty sure it will never be released to the general public for distribution.

Lol, you are confused! Removing brick code (Which still has to be confirmed) does not mean they removed DRM in the slightest. I am sure they made it even harder to crack.

 

[Chipidy]

hope this gets cracked soon, I would just buy it but I'm hesitant because of the brick code

It's been removed

 

[huma_dawii]

Forget about this, it's not happening they are not skilled enough.

The writeup hasn't even been released yet.

 

[rvnx]

Man, they're really grasping for straws now.

 

[Reisyukaku]

Given what i know of decrypting sx and its general inner workings, its literally more work to make a crack than it is to just implement an opensource version
