    Fingers crossed we luck out with easy jailbreaks and emulators like we did for the Switch 1.

    Nintendo won’t make this mistake again. But I’m like you, also hoping their security experts are the same dipshits as before so we can resume pirating the entire overpriced Nintendo library.

      youd be suprised. all of Sonys consoles are hackable, despite efforts to stopping it. willing to guess that another SD express exploit will be found, as one was already found late last year, and the switch 2 is one of the devices that uses it.

      Nintendo continuously makes the easiest to hack and emulate consoles and handhelds. They been fighting emulation for 30 years and still churn out systems that get cracked immediately.

      Pure speculation here, but I’m pretty sure the reason Nintendo significantly ramped up their legal hiring in the past few years is because they figured it was cheaper to chill the development of custom firmware and emulation than it was to tighten up their hardware.

      I’m sure they still made an effort, but I’d be very surprised if the security isn’t broken fairly quickly.

      They’ve had dumb vulnerabilities in every single console. Given this one is a refresh, it probably won’t have some huge unpatchable vuln, but there’s always something.

      The first model run of Switches had an SOC hardware flaw that was Nvidia’s fault.
