Sounds nice. I keep emulating the same games, and same systems. But having them portable would be nice. Portable Shenmue? Yes please. Portable Guardian Heroes? :D
That is really embarrassing, anyone remember how the Gamecube was secured by a password that was something like Nintendo spelled backwards? :D
Physically removing it is actually safer, since you are not damaging it. If you feel like you screwed up, you can pin it back in and be like "maybe some other time". If you corrupt and fuck up...that's GG.
Reminds me of the psp days when all you needed to flash a psp was to open up your batter and cut a pin. I still have my magic memory card somewhere
More devs are moving to PC, the least secured platform, not away from it. :P This is going to be largely irrelevant if T214 is as I have read, and if it hits circulation soon then you basically have a scene that is trapped in <20mil units of which majority will not be interested in fucking with their eMMC or even understand what that means.
This lets you download and play Nintendo games free, on your actual Switch? Or is it for homebrew? Sorry not an expert on this stuff
Wait, I don't think that the payloads currently available are able to do that.
Because if it works with the eMMC on or not, it's not doing anything to it.
You need to make the eMMC not boot, is what I meant. The payloads are bypassing it either because you removed it or you corrupted it or you shifted the expected register. If you did the middle one, you've basically wiped your Switch.
You don't need to do anything with the eMMC if you short the pins, so I don't know why you're still talking like you have to remove or corrupt it.
They seem to get defensive when you say the quiet part out loud.
Well yeah it was rushed.
You only have to look at the barebones os and the multiple delays for the paid online.
Well, homebrew literally destroyed PSP and DS software market in South Korea. So It's really dependent to the market maturelity.
The coldboot exploit was released also, AND the coldboot loader Fusée gelée that enables any code execution from boot.
Switch is is officially wide open. All that's left is the actual Atmosphere CFW payload, which is close.
For more info check GBAtemp

I know, ETA is a terrible word :)
Defensive or not, pirates don't care for the motivations of the people creating the exploit. They don't care for the genuinely good natured homebrew community. They don't care for the genuine ones who will buy and rip their games legitimately. They don't care for 'preservation'.
They just wait for groups like this to open the door. That's why many get pissed off and bring up the subject so often, sometimes conflating issues that shouldn't be. Once the door is open, things snowball whatever the initial intent.
It's gonna be hard to shut this door again now and if I was a Switch dev I'd be pissed off as odds are high it will hit their bottom line
All I want is classic SNES/NES/Gameboy games. Fuck Nintendo for not having that shit there at launch, let alone a year later now.
Does Labo come with a paperclip? Because that's all you essentially need.
Maybe it's all you'll get in the future! Rejoice!
No but really, screw pirates. I hope this doesn't affect the momentum of the only handheld left in the market :(
Not just in Korea either.

PSP was destroyed by piracy.
There is no correlation with consoles having piracy enabled and poor software sales. I mean PS2 has sold by far the most software of any console and it was easy as hell to play pirated games on it.
Or when you could use GTA Liberty City Stories save exploit to launch homebrew. Great times.
PSP had completely normal attach rate for handheld. Around 4.4 per system (more than original GameBoy and about the same as GBA).
Wow, that is one heck of a hardware oversight.
How long before we can expect a Switch hardware revision/upgrade?

While there are lots of piracy enabled consoles that survived and continued to thrive, it's kind of funny saying there is no correlation two posts below an article of a psp dev saying the piracy made the console uninteresting to work on.
Yeah, T214 will most likely patch that bug, and it's probably in circulation soon.
Already happened, but as far as I know, there are still not on the shelves.
Lol dude is all your gonna do keep trying scaremongering and needlessly overcomplicating things when it comes to Switch hacks in every thread
And you spreading misinformation too as explained by idzuki:

But you also had a significant drop in the sales of games on PSP as piracy grew. It was common for latter PSP games to sell less, potentially a lot less, than their predecessor while there would be millions upon millions of torrented downloads.
Even Sony came out and said it was the biggest problem with the console.
Whelp, I guess that answer that. Thanks, guys.
