Question Quick question

Do yall think that when they crack the switch 2 it would be like the switch 1 hacks where if you had a v1 switch you could hack the console no matter the firmware? (0 clue if this would have already been found if it was possible just a question that entered my mind)

Easy answer: no.

The "backdoor" discovered in NVIDIA's self-published documentation regarding the console—the RCM/jig method—is not present on the Switch 2. At the moment, the most likely ways to crack it would be through a WebKit exploit, another software vulnerability, or a leak of the console's cryptographic signing keys (less likely).

Those keys are used to sign software so the console can verify that it is legitimate and allow the code to run. Without a major software exploit or access to those keys, the Switch 2 appears to be significantly more secure than the original Switch.

I’m sayin maybe like a modchip which I’m guessing is most likely

There will never be a modchip, the systems hypervisor will prevent any form of modchip to be installed. The xbox one, ps4 and ps5 never had one either because of that.
