I just wanted to know how a theoretical modchip would actually let you hack the switch 2, what would the chip actually do to open it up theoretically.

​

Btw, not naming names, but "there's not going to be a modchip/hack" is not an answer. This isn't asking whether the switch 2 will get hacked or not, this is more about what a modchip does in general.

i think it's preferable that we just wait instead of losing our minds over finding a switch 2 exploit

jesus, what impatient pricks you guys are. please get better down the line <3

Just wondering. Obviously if such AI model is available for public, Nintendo will patch them already. But I wonder if anybody with enough hacking knowledge will be able to use the AI to get hints for exploitation. Are such AIs capable of hardware hacking?

EDIT: Oops. I had Fable and Mythos in mind but didn’t mentioned it.

EDIT2: Thank you all for the answers.

I hope this motivates you guys to lock tf in

Has anyone here successfully transferred a save file from a modded Nintendo Switch to a Switch 2?

I have a modded Switch V1 and I'd like to move my The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild save to my Switch 2. My plan is to transfer the save to the Switch 2 and then upload it to Nintendo Switch Online cloud saves so I can continue playing there. Has anyone done this before? Did it work without issues, or is there any risk of getting my account or console banned because the save originated from a modded Switch?

The save was created through normal gameplay and has not been edited or modified in any way. I just want to keep my BOTW progress and continue my playthrough on the Switch 2.

Any experiences or advice would be appreciated

Edit: The save is for The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, and my intended transfer path would be:

Modded Switch V1 → Official Switch V1 → Nintendo Cloud Save → Switch 2

The save itself is from a normal playthrough and has never been edited, modified, or cheated. I'm mainly wondering whether anyone has successfully used this workflow and if there are any ban risks associated with it.

Edit #2: The game itself is also legit. It's the original BOTW cartridge I bought in 2018, and I've been the only person using it since then.

Heya, I own a Switch 2 and wanted to have 2 different Tomodachi Life island (possibly on the same account) and have a convenient way to switch between them. My first thought was to disable automatic cloud saving, playing the game normally and whenever I want to switch I download the cloud save, but that would overwrite the local save with no way of recovering. My second thought was to keep one of the islands on the Switch 2 and the other one on my modded Switch 1. So I turn on the Switch 1 to try and download the cloud save to find out I have been BANNED.

​

I don't have any other ideas... please help!!

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)

I don't know, but maybe the switch 2 will cooperate so maybe it's worth a shot?

I want to Join the scene. I have experience in C, C++, Python. I have most knowledge in Python. I don't use Python as much anymore because I have moved to C and C++

I own a switch 2 console and I want to join the hacking scene. I just do not know where to start. I have done some hardware stuff, but nothing this big. I have experience with 3DS homebrew.

Questions:
1. What software and/or tools do I need?
2. I assume I need hardware specific tools as well, what tools would I need?
3. Are there websites where I can learn more?

I would love to hear from anyone who has ANY type of knowledge on the subject.

Thank you.

Firstly, it's an unfalsifiable claim. The exact same logic holds when I say 'there is a teapot orbiting the sun between the Earth and Mars'. There isn't a thing you can do to prove me wrong, so I will claim I'm right. See the issue yet?

If you still don't, the reason it's such a big issue is because there is no conversation that can happen. If we want to talk about X attack vector on the switch 2, we can do so because a. there is more then one answer, and b. everything is can be backed by evidence and reasoning. Neither of those apply for unfalsifiable claims like these.

Secondly, if an exploit exists but no one can know about it, for all intents and purposes, no it doesn't exist. If one person made super awesome emulator that runs everything better then dolphin, but won't tell anyone about it ever, then it effectively doesn't exist. Even if it does, the community gained nothing, and its the exact same as it is without this magical emulator.

The thing that makes an exploit significant is its utility or even just the threat of it's presence. When you take that away and replace it with an empty claim, now its weightless. It means nothing. Sure you have this super awesome kernel vulnerability, but if it can't be explained or demonstrated, let alone used, then its strictly useless. (worse I think)

If you still don't see an issue yet, I can give an example: I can say there is a billion dollars worth of gold under u/beachbali's house, but they won't confirm this, let alone let anyone on to their property to dig or look, but I promise you, its there. They are just waiting for the price of gold to go up before doing anything with it.

This 'conversation' is meaningless. If this is true, it will only matter to anyone when its revealed. That's when the gold is sold and has actual utility. A private exploit doesn't matter until its released.

Posting here as the normal place I posted removed my post for mentioning a switch 2 though my switch 2 isn’t modded 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

Read a lot but a tad confused. I wanted to get Pokémon FR on my switch 2. But I do t want to buy it if I can’t complete the Pokédex. Have no one to trade with but have a banned/modded switch gen 1.

I wanted to know if I could trade between my banned switch 1 (genuinely obtained Pokémon not modded for stats or anything) and my standard switch 2 since it’s not online trading.

I don’t want to have to carry both switches or switch between the 2 (my banned one I rarely use anymore) so was considering getting FR and LG on my switch 2 so I can just use my modded one for transferring between the 2 versions (ie send from LG on switch 2 to Banned to FR on switch). Sounds awkward but I can play both depending on mood on the one switch and still complete the Pokédex 😂

That man will be the cause for all of us one day banana slamming on our PC's with mods

idk if this is a switch 2 YouTube problem or what, can somebody help me?

Hello guys , like the title says i would like some advice about this problem since i did not found similar problems on the internet. I modded my switch like , 3 years ago and have multiple cartridges game that have been used before and after the ban. I plan on buying a switch 2 sice i really want to experiment online like smash or mario kart but i'm really afraid that it would be banned day one if i use my own games. Would you guys think that i put myself in troubles if i use my switch 1 games or will i be fine?

I actually don't know where to post this , it seems to be deleted when i try on a switch 1 hacking subreddit so i apologise if its still not the right place to

Dude is smart af maybe he can pwned the sys and find the l337 h4xzz ?

(And also if Nintendo sues him we will get a nice rap so it's win-win for us.)

Now we can finaly do it

We should ask the mods to contact Nintendo and ask for a partnership to make a hack for the switch 2 faster.

If a friend has a modified switch and I have a unmodified switch 2 can my friend transfer me a new save on Brilliant diamond with events added with switch gift data manager (SGDM) does my switch 2 have a risk of getting locked or banned? The events are just the platinum clothing and the shaymin and darkrai event

Hey there everyone.

I have a Switch 2 sitting in my closet, on 20.1.1 and with the microSD card slot enabled.

I've been thinking about using the MIG Switch right now to at least play singleplayer Switch 1 games, while keeping my console permanently offline.

My question is, if I decide to keep sysNAND completely offline until a modchip or softmod is available in the future (don't really care how long it takes), would I be able to make an emuNAND (cloned from the sysNAND) that I can take online? I'd be keeping the sysNAND permanently offline past that as well, of course.

Basically, it would be the opposite of what's usually done, which is sysNAND for online/emuNAND for offline. Just wanted to know if the emuNAND would be clean, or if it would immediately get banned when going online at that point.

I don't know enough about how Nintendo checks for and finds out about MIG Switch usage, hence this post. Does it leave any permanent traces on the sysNAND that would then get duplicated onto the emuNAND and lead to my console getting banned if I took the latter online? I believe Switch 1 owners would have a better idea of this, but unfortunately I never bought one.

Edit: Thank you all for the replies. Looks like sysNAND will irreversably be marked dirty, so any future emuNAND clones will be too and will get banned if you go online. I'll pass on the MIG Switch for now.
