You'd be wrong there sir. We haven't haxed our Switch because we don't currently have a jig, sd card large enough for emuNAND, or easy way to boot firmware. Also, bending stuff is out of the question because I suck at properly lining things up. (Gotta love Autism Spectrum Disorder + ADHD!)
I don't see why you should care that much, then - you're not modding things or hacking games, so you're out of bannable range.
(I'm autistic too, if that helps x) )

Op, put your self in their shoes. You release a new console, someone hacks it. You’ll just let people get away with potential cheating online and let them ruin everyone’s experience?

Cheating is the least of Nintendo's worries it's the pirating and unauthorized modification

Just give us access to our own software and I won't have an issue

I'd hack a Switch too if CFW wasn't such a pain in the ass and was completely done permanently via software

U don't "own" the software
Then sell back the cartridge to them when you finish it. How will that suit ya?

They don't measure the number of licenses to play sold for Pokémon Crap. They measure the copies sold.

The concept of "you don't own the game but the license" is trash to appease the weak minded.

You buy a record and no one comes at you for making copies as long as you own the original. Same as movies. Games really are a retarded market.

In my view, more to the Nintendo side of wich I was a fan, Pirate Away.

Pay for the games you really like, and pirate first party titles.

I don't really see what's wrong with them tightening their security this time around, compared to other consoles they've released. They've actually tried to do something this time. Maybe it's because I don't have a risk of a ban because of LineageOS (I'd recommend LineageOS if you want to play emulators on your switch; e.g GameCube, PSP, etc. From what I know there is no way for Nintendo to detect it and it's just android, so it has all the same features.) like other cfw for switch.

Also, you can't homebrew an xbox one, you're talking about developer mode and developer accounts, yes you can get retroarch on xbox one, but it's not homebrew.

Also, having an easily hackable console is bad for them, as they lose profits due to high piracy, where with switch they're trying to stop that, compared to the 3DS, wii and all, where bans were very rare (only bans I know of are playing pirated copies of games before release, and that brick from I think it was the first 3DS flashcart, but that was not a nintendo ban). Might be seen as bad trying to defend a big corporation, but, I think they're doing well.

Microsoft now allows you to run any homebrew you want on the Xbox One.

1. xbox one allow you to run homebrew if you PAY for developer privilages.
2. Xbox one homebrew is significantly worse and requires more messing around.
3. If you want to emulate retro consoles on the switch, you can do it fine with android and lakka- nintendo can’t/don’t detect it and don’t particularly care. Odds of getting banned even with CFW are pretty low unless you cheat online or pirate aka steal games.
4. If you get caught pirating/illegally installing games on xbox one the penalties are just as harsh.

Nintendo takes action 99% of the time when you either pirate games or ruin other peoples online experiences by cheating. It isnt particularly surprising really & tbh im quite happy they do something, because if they didnt, the content and quality of games would significantly drop along with their profit margins to fund decent future games.

Because they don’t want trigger happy pirates booting Nintendo Switch software up illegally without paying for it! remember most AAA titles can run into the Millions being under development! I would think that alone would make perfect sense.

I believe he's referring to the RCM process.
What you mean the part where it says select “autorcm on boot up” that must be awful

What part about RCM is hard?
Getting everything lined up with a paperclip or some wiring. Fucked up Switches are not a good time. Remember, I'm autistic and with my special blend balance and things like that are fucked up.

You can buy jigs on eBay for like $2 AUD (convert to whatever currency you use, a low price). I never used paperclip because I didn't trust myself (I don't have autism or anything, it's just I don't want to risk it.) RCM jigs are definitely worth it, as they work pretty much 100% of the time. I've got 2 now, one from when I used to inject payload via laptop, but now I use a rcmloaderone which came with a jig.

That does not seem like an autocorrect
they might tend to auto correct to your more commonly used words :creep:

I know sometimes when im typing messages on my phone it will auto correct to stuff such as RCM etc....not something that would be autocorrected on most peoples phones

you can just do it once and enable autoRCM, granted you loose the ability to cold boot your console without a laptop, dongle or phone, but if your worried about messing up the joy con rail and don't reboot too often it shouldn't really be an issue

They aren't though? People were getting banned left and right for a short while, but in the past year, there's been like nothing. They didn't even try to ban people around the launch of Pokemon Sword/Shield, which I thought would have been the perfect time to whip out the banhammer.
