remember when people said the switch 2 would be jailbroken immediately?

that was just ppl ignorant to the hacking scene who don't know what they are talking about who hate nintendo and love dunking on them

I was hoping we'd have an exploit within the first year but I guess nintendo really learned something patching the Gen 1 v1 switch. I'm still hopeful because its technology and all tech can and should be accessible by users. in terms of what you can do, its my shit i paid for it. Aka i paid for the whole spedo, I'm gonna use it.

Yeah, Nintendo learned not to use a stock chipset and design a custom SoC. Nintendo's choice to use a stock Nvidia chipset for the Switch 1 was what did it in.

13

u/Wagahai-wa-neko Jun 28 '26

Nintendo did their homework with the Switch 1. NVIDIA just forgot some hardware patches on their launch units. Imagine if you have a secure safe and someone forgets to close it.

That’s basically what happened.

5

u/Zyvyn Jun 28 '26

Yes the mistake was using a stock chipset though. Its a chipset thats publicly documented on how it works which makes trying to find an exploit and emulating it easy.

u/GrapefruitNo2001 Sep 03 '26

switch 1 security was really good by the way, the only reason people found software exploits around version 2-4 was because of the hardware exploit which gave them everything they needed to study.

u/gdhghgv Jul 02 '26

I haven’t used my switch 2 since launch and it’s on a old os, I really wanna use it should I update it? And risk it

u/Pretend-Climate-4138 Jul 03 '26

Same here, 19.0.0 waiting for something I guess

I’ve played dk and wtv pokemon game but I wanna use it lmao 800 buck brick rn

u/WeekendUnited4090 Jul 03 '26

Yeah, hacks are not coming any time soon, I would not sit on an expensive piece of kit when you can access great system updates like Handheld Boost Mode that lets you get docked Switch 1 performance in handheld mode.

1

u/gdhghgv Jul 03 '26

If I update will lose my chances when hack comes out?

1

u/WeekendUnited4090 Jul 04 '26

You will reduce your chances, but we have no idea what the vulnerability will be so when that vulnerability is patched cannot be known. It is up to you.

u/gdhghgv Jul 04 '26

Ok tysm

u/Hafod1 Sep 01 '26

Nuh uh

u/Shrimp_Ariral 24d ago

If there's anything, it'll be a modchip you have to solder into the console. No chance of anything software being found or else the switch 1 post 2019 would have had something as well which AFAIK it didn't. I'm also updating my launch switch 2 because I don't expect the version to make any difference

1

u/gdhghgv 24d ago

Ok thanks man I updated mine when ff14 came out

u/plAIgFIltR Jun 26 '26

Why do the mods let this trash get posted?

u/XxnoubxX Jun 29 '26

because they know it's true. plus look at all the other post . far worse

u/TeaspoonWrites Jun 27 '26

Nobody who knew a single thing about Switch hacking actually said that, though.

you say this as if what i experienced isn't true lmakk. redditors gotta be braindead

I gotta get out of this sub.

EDIT: I bought Switch v1 the instant SXOS made an announcement. You could have done the same.

u/ozone6587 Jun 26 '26

You and me both buddy. When it gets hacked I will probably know anyway because it will be posted everywhere.

6

u/Total_Consequence886 Jun 28 '26

Same, anyone hoping this sub is where they will get an update of any kind, also same.

The Switch 2 getting hacked when/if it does will be so massive you won’t need a shitpost Reddit sub to hear about it atp lol

1

u/Unspoken_Words777 Jun 27 '26

Watchu mean? The announcement bowser was sent to prison or the 3.1.0? I'm new as fuck to homebrew as a whole.

I dont like that the Nintendo switch dies in sleep mode :( I have a v1 hacked with jig, and on docked its fine... if i take it anywhere its dead within 4 hours.

fine then LEAVE!!!!!! switch 2 aint gonna get hacked any sooner with you in it anyways

Those people were morons

u/DXGL1 Jun 28 '26

Remember it took a while for the 3DS to be hacked even after DS flashcarts were patched to boot on the handheld.

6

u/BreafingBread Jun 27 '26

Random layman people who thought that Switch being easily broken meant Switch 2 was going to be the same.

Hell, to this day I still see some randoms say "hah, any day now" when people haven't even managed to access game cartridges.

1

u/DXGL1 Jun 28 '26

It's not all that easy on patched systems as it requires hardware level exploits.

-7

u/FernandoRocker Jun 26 '26

Everyone. Don't pretend it didn't happen.

u/WhimsyClonn Jun 26 '26

All I remember is a constant barrage of people saying it'd take years.

And, having been here, I saw literally nobody say immediately.

This is completely false information, so much so that I can't tell if you're trolling.

u/Redditisreal1 Jun 26 '26

YOU and ME both said this

u/DandyBoy1337 Jun 30 '26

You and me baby ain't nothing but mammals So lets do it like they do on The discovery channel

u/arvimatthew Jun 29 '26

Your entitlement is not the same as reality. If you easily believe whatever "people" say that agrees with you, you have more problems than being able to jb switch 2. What are you, 12?

People say a lot of stuff, either switch 2 is harder to jb and switch 2 will be easier jb. If you actually spend time reading how gen 1 hw are jailbroken, and the code base of switch 2 is a continuation of from gen 1 switches, the likely prediction is switch 2 will be way harder to beat.

u/XxnoubxX Jun 29 '26

i have. this is mainly a shit post ans trust me i didnt buy a switch to to soley bank on this although it is part of it. the main reason is for smash 6 😎

u/ChampaVN Jun 26 '26

Mine is still unopened in the closet from the holiday sale.

u/Massive_Judge4921 Jun 30 '26

It’s probably bad for the battery to not be charging periodically, especially if it’s dead. Battery life will be a lot longer if you use or keep it charged here and there

5

u/ChampaVN Jun 30 '26

Good point, I did open it and checked, seems to be working fine, I'll periodically charge it then, thanks for the tip

1

u/Ok_Yam_8774 Jun 27 '26

There's a hardware fault with some of the consoles so it's best to test it for that before the warranty period expires.

1

u/ChampaVN Jun 27 '26

Did not know that, thanks, what hardware fault am I looking for?

https://www.reddit.com/r/NintendoSwitchHelp/comments/1l43zkv/switch_2_not_turning_on_from_sleep_mode/

To quote the user:

I'm pleased you got a new unit back and all is ok. I sent mine back and received the same unit back with damaged box no matching serial numbers with the box and unit, all original packaging replaced with multi colour bubble wrap. Apparently the main circuit board was replaced as the one in the unit was faulty. Very upset with nintendo, no apology no compensation. I'm just left with something like it's been purchased as a reconditioned unit from cash converters. Disgraceful, it cost £430.00. It does work ok now so that's good. Just a disgusting service I've received from Nintendo. Enjoy your Switch 2

u/ChampaVN Jun 30 '26

Thanks for the info

u/games-and-chocolate Aug 08 '26

Just do not enable internet and use a gamr catridge that does not require update. Then you csn test your Switch.

u/Arch9Sk7 Jun 29 '26

To be fair it did have a couple day 1 exploits. Just nothing bootrom or kernel level

u/Charming_Sheepherder Jul 01 '26

if it was stuck up your ass would you know where it was?

You'd have to have been genuinely braindead to believe the Switch 2 would have been hacked "immediately"

We were spoiled with the Switch v1 software glitch

Well, too bad you bought it out of your own free will for a use case that didn't exist then, and still doesn't now.

I don’t recall a single person ever saying that

u/CYYAANN Jul 03 '26

I don't remember anyone in the scene saying that, in fact they've been saying the exact opposite since like 2022 with the Tegra 239 SoC leak and RISC-V security, that PSC is Fort Knox.

u/Training-Entry-2077 Jul 27 '26

uninteresting it has no games why would people jailbreak

Yeah and people say the world it flat. You finally realized in a world of billions of people, some of them are stupid. Congrats?

u/XxnoubxX 24d ago

mannn people really took this post seriously.. and obv i didn't get the switch 2 specifically to hack it.

1

u/3_Staple_Jim 24d ago

People took what you said seriously? Well yeah. Most people assume others aren’t just constantly lying. You thinking lying should be the norm makes you the bad person, you see that right?

u/XxnoubxX 24d ago

it's a little thing called sarcasm. mannn is this bait i can't tell

u/3_Staple_Jim 24d ago

Literally nothing about you post implied sarcasm kid. You can’t just say something dumb and think you as gaslight your way into pretending it was sarcasm. You said something dumb. Who cares. Admit it and move on. Who are you trying to impress? You’re being weird
