Nintendo Switch kernel unlocked by hackers

Hackers are now claiming to have gotten access to the Nintendo Switch kernel, a critical part of the operating system. If true, this paves the way for homebrew games and pirated games to run on the system.

Nice. Maybe I'll scoop one up for a portable emulation system. About all this thing is good for.

Yh, why play Mario odyssey or Metroid prime 4 etc when u can play Mario 64 or Super Metroid which weve all already finished 5 times /s

MrFisher213232d ago

Homebrew means all the switch games will be free. Just like how the how Wii u EShop is unlocked. Switch is soon to follow. Very soon.

EddieNX 3232d ago

i'll believe it when I see it. I prefer to buy real games anyway, homebrew has a trampy vibe about it.

Pirating games is a lowlife scummy thing to do, I don't care how you justify it.

Pookandpie3232d ago

To clarify their access: They've dumped the kernel, not actually accessed or run code using the kernel (they've stated there has been no code execution). Those are two completely different things. For an example, kernel access was achieved early in the 3DS's life but it still took several years for custom firmware, backups, etc..

who needs a nonexistent eshop when you have roms!!!!!!!!

seeing how I have no online plans for this system, this does seem enticing...

septemberindecember3232d ago

Lol you mean "nonexistent virtual console*" :P
The Switch has an eShop, just no Virtual Console.

_-EDMIX-_3232d ago (Edited 3232d ago )

Agreed.

My Wii pretty much has almost every major Super Nintendo and Sega Genesis game lol

Look I know VIII has its issues and all that but how on earth can the do big anniversary events with new artwork and merchandise for VII, IX and X yet VIII got sweet f*** all.

They could have given it something during its 25th anniversary yet all it got was a single Happy Anniversary post on their social media.

solideagle18d ago

they should know that we are OG fans of VIII as it sold truckload as well. not as much as VII or X. I personally didn't like IX but X and VI are my personal fav.

Shadow Hearts 2 covenant is another game I love. I hope one day someone can make remake, I would be delighted

Final Fantasy VIII is great and you are always the first to defend it in the comments
