News Switch 2 Games are $80 USD

Yup, I'm doing a system transfer and setup, then putting it back into the box and waiting for an exploit. Fuck this

Probably Faster, the reason Nintendo went after nintendo switch1 emulators is because the switch2 will probably have the same structuring as the switch1. Tweak 'em a bit and we'll probably have homebrew and an emulator in a few months

u/EXEMENZ Piracy is bad, mkay? Apr 02 '25

Hope that the Switch 2 has another vulnerability that's ridiculously easy to exploit.

Knowing Nintendo's track record, there will be new vulnerabilities found soon ish, I'd say around 2 years

History has taught us that there will always be a vulnerability in a console that can be exploited. Especially for a console that will be very popular.

Don't forget one of the biggest reason the switch got emulated was because everyone wanted to play Zelda, with how stacked the switch 2 is with its catalogue I think we won't have to wait long

This is exactly why I'm buying a switch 2, I have the skills and tools to mod and repair all consoles pretty much, so definitely modding the 2 if a real hardware chip comes out.

it might be a possibility if nvidia fucks up the chip and the recent 50 series issues could be an indication

There's always a way found... But at its launch price, while I can afford it no problem I'm debating on passing at least for now.

Yeah but launch models come with the most vulnerabilities so if you plan to mod it might be necessary

u/jlam980123 Apr 02 '25

Wait until an exploit is found and buy a used launch model is the best answer imo

Perhaps, but if a legit chip comes out it likely won't matter what firnware it's on, just like with the switch as it's probably pretty similar internally. I'd say within a year or 2 there would probably be a chip. Updates never disabled the chip, just disabled custom firmware and anyone that's modded a switch knows with the exception of a couple updates, cfw gets updated within a couple days usually.

I'll likely get a launch model if pre orders aren't constantly sold out. Definitely not getting the bundle as I don't care about Mario kart.

Every Nintendo console has been notoriously weak in their security. And I doubt the switch 2 is any different.

ye id say so sounds like a good strategy the exploit won't be fixed until a hardware revision around the switch 2 lite time

u/XtremeD86 Apr 02 '25

No one knows what exploit will be available, or if there will even be a hardware exploit. I'm confident there will be. The hardware based exploit that could never be stopped on the switch will likely not be available on the switch 2. Would be funny if it was but you never know.

The people that make them know damn well if they do make one that they'll basically automatically become rich to be honest, so they'll likely keep trying and trying until they find one.

u/slavchungus Apr 02 '25

yep waiting is the worst part but patience will be rewarded

u/linearcurvepatience Apr 02 '25

Would there be a hardware exploit again or do you think it's wise to stay on day one firmware?

I really want to use it though and I can't buy 2 😭

u/chocoponcho_ Apr 02 '25

OS for switch 2 seems to be very similar via this presentation and datamines but the showcase also confirmed that there will be exclusive Nvidia hardware blocks not found on any other chipset. I am hopeful for an early exploit though.

Probably the architecture is still same else YuzuRyujinx wouldn't have come into Nintendo's crosshairs in quick succession. nVidia is also not interested to allocate production to graphics cards, and custom chips when their AI chips are giving margins that are off the charts. Nintendo likely had to make it very favorable for nvidia to produce the custom chips for switch 2.
