Nintendo Switch 2 Hacked in 48 Hours — But Here’s Why It’s Just the Beginning

  Let’s get one thing straight: the Switch 2 isn’t fully jailbroken.

  Buchanan achieved what’s called a userland ROP chain. That means he gained limited code execution within a non-privileged process — not full system control.

  For anyone who got excited like I was..

    It’s still exciting. If you can run arbitrary code, you can probe the system for vulnerabilities.

      It's a step but we're still probably a long ways off from bypassing the tamper protection

      PS happy cake day

  By end of year I will be playing Switch 2 games on my ROG Ally. Feels good man.

  Piracy and emulation is inevitable, although we’ll see if it’s months or years. I’m boycotting Nintendo over their legal practices, but that doesn’t mean I don’t want to play their games. It’ll be extra juicy to be able to emulate it eventually, although buying used is technically an option too.

    It still brings a smile to my face every time I play Mario Kart 8 on my Linux desktop using a PS5 controller.

    I pay for games where I think money will get to the creators that deserve it, but Nintendo only gets my most sincere disdain.

  all this means to me is hopefully I’ll be able to emulate the new Dankey Kang game on my desktop 💃🏻

    I’d say it’s an inevitability, just a question of when

    The new DK game looks so bomb, cannot wait till it’s available on the high sea.

      From very cursory glances, it seems there isnt much preventing dumping switch 2 games and it is a short timeframe to figuring out.

  Warms me heart to see all these gamers finally growing a pair and treating business as business.

  if you can get something for free, do it. Corporations are not your friends.

  It’s a POC.

  far from hacked

    Stupid person checking in. What counts as hacked? I recognize ROPs are not the same as full system control.

      Unsigned code like homebrew being able to be launched
