Hacking Question Will someone be able to dump the smash demo at e3?

[SomeGamer]

Why would anybody want to waste time trying to dump a demo of a port?

C'mon, 'cuz it's for S W I T C H ! (And bragging rights, of course!)

Sure will happen my uncle who works for Nintendo will be there, he can help

 

[bones123]

No.

No. No. No. No. No. Just calm yourself, the game is coming out this year. Stealing a demo is a really good way to get Nintendo to stop inviting the public to cool events like this. It's also basically impossible, how would someone get a Switch away long enough to boot into RCM and dump the game without someone noticing them plugging their phones into it? If there are any Mariko units in the wild, it's gonna be Nintendo that has them. Just stop.

It is not a port.... They have already said it is a new smash game / the next smash in the series etc.

Fun fact...someone tried to steal the BOTW Demo back at E3 2016. And Kotaku actually used an image I took, and credited it, lol.

You would get shot on site, if a employee caught you trying to do anything of that nature its game over.

Pff, who cares about Smash. What I want to know if it's possible or not is whether we can steal Metroid 4. Now, this may prove more difficult as it involves time travel but I think if I read a couple more githubs I can rough together a time machine and use it for e3 2019 and steal that Metroid.

Oh no, it begins again!

Yeah, just waiting for the inevitable Kotaku article.

 

[AxlSt00pid]

And how will you play the dump huh?
With TX chip?

 

[Aeturnus]

Nope. Think about it. They generally keep the system tethered to their powercords. For the switch, that IS the usb port. Po place to plug in.

 

[purechaos996]

Very unlikely to happen. After going to E3 a few time I can tell you that all of the demo units, outside of say smaller Indie devs are heavily monitored by the staff. I've gotten into trouble trying to plug in audio cables just to record sound off of demo units.

 

[Lumince]

Dont worry. I have that and the super Mario sunshine dumps /s

 

[alepman90]

Just saying yes for funzies, Iwata will hunts who does it

Unless any of the tempers in here work for E3/Nintendo and want to risk their job doing this on a demo unit and also presuming that the demo units can easily be hacked I highly doubt it They don't use retail Switches so RCM bug could not work anyways.

You would basically need SciresM himself undercover as a Nintendo employee at the event, to reverse engineer those units so no.

They'll probably use Mariko revision dev kits to prevent fuckery.

I would nice to see some unused content that would probably be deleted in the final version of the game. However, I doubt anyone would be able to get this demo at all.

If they used dev kits it would be easy to dump
