Hacking Question What could we see for the future of Switch hacking?

[Alkéryn]

Not all too likely. We would see Moonlight before native play. I believe The PS4 has an x86 based processor which allowed that to happen. The switch, I believe is based on ARM. So the likelihood isn't all there. Dont know for sure..

Impossible unless steam have arm games, unless you use virtualisation in which case you would have terrible framrate assuming the game even launch
though there are some software arm to x86 translator so it might be possible but it will be a massive battery draining thing

A nice PornHub app

I have to code one once we have homebrews

I can still see steam running on the ARM architecture.. Just little to no native games. It'd be a nice venture into cheap gamestream

But actually there is a x86 to arm translator on linux
kinda like wine for windows but it is for x86

I'm not much into multiplayer but that would be a blast with bomberman R.

just dont public the hack in first year is all i am asking... ffs if hack releases too early, no more game will be made and rip us ultimately....

 

[Pomegrenade]

Well the Switch won't be as hard to hack as everyone thinks, because Nintendo is making their consoles more 'modern' and someone (probably smea) will be able to exploit it!

I kind of want it to resemble the 3DS/Wii scene. But in the end, thanks for it being region free. I might actually import the games I enjoy if they aren't available in Europe. But a solid "try before buy" option would be nice.

There is some hope... It seems the Switch is running on a customized version of Android...

But how reliable even is that source? Because there's more reliable sources saying it's a modified 3DS kernel.

I'm curious as to whether it'll see a flash card first like the 3DS did.

I would like local TV.

Homebrew software which allows for the usage of a USB tv antenna to view channels.

It would also simultaneously allow for some cannibalistic gaming if you use a RF adapter of an N64 and plug it into the Switch...

Not to drag this topic off into the weeds, but I completely forgot that this existed! Its a TV turner for japanese DS lites. That would be pretty cool to get on the Switch. My guess is that the interest in local tv is so low, no one would really want one anymore.

I wonder if I can find one of those...

We don't want to install Android on it
Though an android translator would be great
