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.
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.
Stupid person checking in. At least, compared to all the tech whizzes on Lemmy. What counts as hacked? I recognize ROPs are not the same as full system control.

Ryujinx 2 when?
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.
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
Yeah, who knows. But it’s the first step toward a larger exploit.
Huh, I forgot cake days were a thing. Thanks!
By end of year I will be playing Switch 2 games on my ROG Ally. Feels good man.
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
10,000 years later
Read that in the SpongeBob voice
It’s a POC.
far from hacked
Stupid person checking in. At least, compared to all the tech whizzes on Lemmy. What counts as hacked? I recognize ROPs are not the same as full system control.
Unsigned code like homebrew being able to be launched
Cant wait for Mario Kart world rom, only way I’ll play it
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.
