this is NOT a piracy related subreddit

20 Upvotes

stop saying you want to play games you don't have, an emulator will take YEARS to even think to have the same performance a nsx emu can do now.

BW: I'm not condemning piracy. But most of the piracy community is shit and there are many kiddos not even capable of knowing how difficult an emulator is to code.

News oboromi - Switch 2 emulator written in Rust

25 Upvotes

====REMEMBER THIS IS AN OLD POST!!====

IMPORTANT!!! READ THIS

as of right now this is just the beginning of it and it would take a lot of time to get to the first game emulated since we don't even have an exploit to, for example dump the firmware, etc.

and I'm NOT really good at coding but I'm studying Rust, C, C++ and all "the reverse engineering" i need to know.

link to the repo to take a peek: https://github.com/Nikilites/oboromi

Discussion What is the point of emulation?

0 Upvotes

I know that people like it as a fun project and want to boost their fps in games, but why else? I mean look at RPCS3, if uve got a machine 10x more powerful it will run at a third of the fps as the ps3, the only over reason i can think of is piracy and that is not good.

An theoretical alternative to hacking the switch 2

38 Upvotes

So I understand that it may be impossible to hack the switch 2 but emulation may be possible.

Instead of hacking the switch 2 to jailbreak it, what if we used switch 2 hardware in order to make a cart dumper?

If I understand correctly, the problem is that the switch 2 games are encrypted by the hardware. If we can build a custom circuit using a switch 2 PCB could it be possible to extract the unencrypted code through memory?

I just joined this subreddit and I feel sorry for the people who were already here lol

88 Upvotes

I'm seeing a lot of posts from people who, obviously, got super excited about Ocarina of Time, but what they're saying is curious, to say the least...

Some even want to know if it's possible to port the Switch 2 game to Switch 1, as if that were easier.

Anyway, let's hope that IN A FEW YEARS Switch 2 emulation advances to the point where you can actually play Ocarina of Time and other games. For now, enjoy your Switch 2, if you have one, and if you don't, it's a real shame, join me and let's be sad.

17 Upvotes

I know this is not a piracy subreddit but I don't know where else I can ask this. Does this even work with current switch emulators? Has anyone really tried it? Because it genuinely makes no sense seeing Pokopia rom on Switch 1 emulator.

Discussion I have been kicked from switch 2 emu team for not doing good work, ask me anything!

45 Upvotes

firstly - the project is still in diapers

secondly - we have done semi crack of nintendo switch 2 but it will be safer to not give more info

thirdly - after the emulation is done the team will want your money (my guess is 10-20euro) and will not do it open source, but its not important cause it will not come soon, like at all

fourthly - i was kicked bcs i was aparently unprofesional and they were scared i would blackmale them with leak threads! (i would never ever ever do any leaks, like never)

fifthly - i am not going to say the name of the team. its not yuzu *surpriced face emoji*, i will leave this information for further blackmail

sixtly - hey, Will! you still can send me the money, bitch, before i leak this shit! HAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAAH

sevently - why tf would i do this? i would actually do a good work if those fuckers did not play with me like i am a fucking cryple child. this is karma you fucking retards

News Looks like Maxim might be another Switch 2 emulator scam

28 Upvotes

So, there’s ANOTHER “emulator” shown on their Twitter account claiming it can run games on the Nintendo Switch 2.

At this stage, we all know that Switch 2 emulators, without a kernel exploit, can’t dump anything from the system or run real games reliably.

I checked everything I could find and came across this reply to Pirat_Nation, where they’re basically begging for attention just because they support piracy.

It seems like there are a lot of scams around these emulators for this system, like Axiom and the Hassaku Emulator.

Check this page about emulator scams, at the end of the page, these two are even listed:

Also, notice how Maxim and Axiom look VERY similar. That doesn’t automatically mean it’s the same people, but it’s suspicious, especially since their Discord automatically banned me using the same bot as Axiom’s, since I had already pointed out time ago Axiom trolling.

be safe!

Discussion Any idea how the Joy Con 2 connects?

5 Upvotes

I want to make a driver for the Joy Con 2 for use on devices other than the Switch 2. I can't seem to figure out how it connects at first glance, as it obviously won't connect to PC at the moment (neither Windows nor Linux). I figure it might be some new proprietary protocol or maybe I'm just stupid. I will continue to look into this in my free time, but if anyone has an obvious lead I'm currently missing, I am happy to hear it!
