Gateway never left.
Gateway is Team Xecuter.
All the french and chinese team members are still working hard.
As soon as someone releases an open source project they will instantly steal it and sell it.

I guess that's one definition of "working hard"

The first exploits will be released by a group aiming to make cash by selling cartridges at 80 bucks a pop...similar to the Mig Switch.

Thread 'Visual of the Switch 1 hacking timeline, with a visualization of where we are from the switch 2 launch (152 days post launch)'

Nov 4, 2025

As you all know, the switch 1 was hacked wide open very close to its launch. Now, 8+ years on, we may have a skewed idea of how fast all of that really happened.

I wanted to visualize this, so I did some digging to remind myself of the timeline of those events.

We are currently at day 152 post launch of the switch 2. To contextualize some things for you:

Arbitrary code execution for switch 1: 272 days post launch
Boot rom exploit in the wild: 396 days post launch
SXOX launch: 472 days post launch
Atmosphere release: 593 days

When those dates would occur post switch 2 launch if it...
