Hacking Discussion Team Xecuter Switch SX

[realjumy]

lol the whole point of hacking is to have piracy
all is for "homebrew" comments just people kidding themselves

Linux in my Switch is the best thing it could happen to it. And that's not pirating.

I'm afraid this will just kill the spirit of the homebrew. Just YouTube be /Z8TSo3lIK00

All the fun, all the things being made for the scene, will die just because some people just want to make profit from piracy. A real shame.

On contrary, i think as someone is trying to make it a profit, there is no reason to not release softmod piracy now, which will make more code available, piracy can not be taken back, so all the tools, codes etc, will be released without the "moral" concern.

Gateway actually kinda kickstarted the 3DS scene, and a lot of the early flaws (mset, etc.) were based on GW's work. I don't think this will have any affect on open source projects, and if it does I don't think it will be negative.

You should be old enough to realize when you project in other people you are talking about yourself, not about an absolute truth.

I'll buy it if it allows the Atmosphere payload to be loaded. PC-less FG is a nice thing to have.

that's the big selling point for me tbh, if the price was 'reasonable' I think I'd be in

That line about taking preorders by the end of the week is exciting

 

[jakkal]

definitely buying this
good job promoting their product lol

 

[InsaneNutter]

I disagree. Look at the homebrew scene for the Xbox Classic. The Xbox Classic had more modchips than the Wii U had browser exploits, yet also had one of the best homebrew scenes.

Free and paid for solutions co-existed pretty well, each with their own pro’s and cons. I think we will probably see the same on the switch.

 

[fadx]

I've got to wonder if this is actually their original design or if they changed it up with the fusee leak, where's the solder version? Was their solder version and solder less version literally just soldering pin 10 to ground or using a jig? So much for Kate having no idea what their exploit is according to them. I was actually thinking this was going to be cool but all the functionality they show is likely going to be available for free by the time this is up for sale or not too long afterwards. Disappointed as someone that used their Xbox 360 products.

I watched the video. At least its real lol. Time to Switch!

I don't think a commercial piece of hardware intended for loading commercial games is required for kickstart the scene in the case of the Switch. We got almost everything we needed.

 

[Deletr753]

I hope this is something other people can build on and release for free with a custom base like the 3DS scene did.

You missed my point. My point is that discoveries and exploits can be shared and mimicked.

 

[sarkwalvein]

Actually, it looks like a nice product.
I would buy it if it is not very expensive, and if it can be used to load whatever exploit you want.
It would be a very handy portable way to launch Fusee Gelee.

Well technically, there are ways already.
This one however is shown to be the first to have warez loading, so that's something.

Not really. Some people say that we won't have cooldboot in >=5.x, so... Yeah, this could be a nice idea to use homebrew for 'em.

 

[magico29]

oh yeah baby, music for my ears and I love it!!

 

[peteruk]

Well we should know a price by the end of the week if that's when they're taking pre orders

Looking at what you actually get in that video..... the jig, the OTG device... I'd be guessing at around £50 to £60

If you wait a few months after they put it in the market the price will drop. The first orders will be more than $100 plus. Remember Gateway, the starting prices was $89 if I remember currently and the switch is a more hype console.

 

[realjumy]

By the way, I don't remember writing the title of the thread like it's written now. I don't know if was edited by some mod or it was the predictive of my phone, but it should be Team Xecuter, not Team Executor... If someone can please change the title of the thread...

Except that piracy behind a paywall (that device) and free piracy are not the same thing. The latter might save some people from shelling out money for such a device that would have bought it regardless... AND encourage others to even think about pirating games that wouldn't have if it wasn't for free. Though, on the other hand some of those that wouldn't have bought the device might also not have bought a significant amount of games anyway... I guess one could continue to think about this even further to get as close to the actual impact it would have to release soft-piracy for free compared to just letting the TX SX do all that alone... But my point of view is that the "moral" concern shouldn't be ignored just because there is some device being sold that will enable piracy regardless. And that's as far as I could argue as of now.
