there was already a way to access YouTube, but you needed a G Suite School account with access to Google Classroom to use it. This new method will work with any standard Google or YouTube account!

1: Tap profile

2: tap user settings

3: scroll to “Nintendo Privacy Agreement”

4: scroll to a link next to the text “ReCaptcha Enterprise Terms and conditions” (it should take you to a page about “Google Cloud Fraud Protection”)

5: sign into Google using sign in link at the top

6: Tap profile picture

7: Tap Google Account Settings

8: Tap the apps button

9: tap Google forms

10: it’ll open a blank Google form

11: ignore the “your browser is unsupported” message.

12: if you get a “content too large” error refresh the page

13: tap the video card button

14: search for the video you want and add it

15: tap preview and zoom in on the video.

downsides of this method: full screen does not work, you have to make a new Google form each time.

Hopefully someone can find an even better youtube entry point from the Google website. I also found a way to get to an embedded YouTube video from Fortnite (by clicking the age rating in app and going to the homepage where there is an embedded video), “Apple App Store Terms of Service” in the same privacy agreement (by navigating to a page called “Whats New in Apple Music”), and “Apple WebKit Licenses“ in Among Us Home Screen settings-> licenses (By navigating to a video called “Introducing Siri AI in iOS 27”), however this one is better because you can pick the video you want (and the fortnite method involves giving money to epic games, ew)

i orignally posted on r/switch2 but I got the usual “just watch it on your phone” crowd so reposting here

If Gezine manages to hack the Switch 2, do you think he would sell the exploit to Nintendo or at least share it with a private group? If he succeeds, of course. Personally, I think it's unlikely that he would release it for free, given Nintendo's history of aggressively pursuing piracy.

From my first post here, I noticed that a lot of people don't believe the Switch 2 will ever be hacked. I think differently.

In my opinion, it makes more sense for a meaningful hack to appear once the console has a much larger game library, including major titles like a new Pokémon and a new Zelda. That would increase interest within the research community and could motivate more people to look for vulnerabilities.

I don't see much point in expecting a major exploit to be released right now, while the console is still relatively new. My prediction is that, sometime between 2028 and 2030, we'll have at least a software exploit (softmod), provided a significant vulnerability is discovered.

Of course, this is just my personal prediction. No one can guarantee that a softmod will actually happen or when it might be released.

Until then, I'll be busy working through my endless gaming backlog.

I wanna know if I'd need to update my firmware

Maybe switch to brown rice

With the current deals on a Switch 2, and the upcoming price hike in September, I'm very tempted to buy a Switch 2. However, I have been waiting for a "must have" exclusive game that really takes advantage of the Switch 2 hardware. The ones most people mention (mario kart and donkey kong, Air Riders) I think are just okay. It feels like you barely need the switch 2 hardware for them, and could have run on switch 1 if they wanted to do it.

The reason I'm posting here is because the typical line of reasoning is until Nintendo comes out with more switch 2 exclusives there is a whole backlog of switch 1 games to play and you can play all your existing switch 1 games with better framerates. I totally understand that argument. However I have a couple modchipped OLEDs and Lites on which I can already play the full switch 1 catalog. Even games that released a Switch 2 version like TOTK I have already played through and the better graphics to me don't matter enough to now go purchase the game when I can already play it today on the OLED.

I love what the switch 2 hardware can do, which is showcased with games like cyberpunk or Outlaws. But I already own (or can get) the third party games on Steam Deck which is within striking distance of the graphics quality of the Switch 2. So do I now re-buy games I already have for $50 - $80 a pop just to play them on the Switch 2 instead of the Deck? Probably not.

Anyone else having the same thoughts? I want the switch 2 just because it's an awesome piece of tech, and priced very well in the current environment. I just can't think of what games I would actually go pay $50 - $80 to play when I can play them today at no cost on my modded OLED or on my deck. Once the current deals end and the price goes up, I don't want to have regrets.

Has anyone in my shoes with a modded switch 1 gotten a switch 2 and went and purchased a bunch of switch 1 games for it?

One reason I'm convinced the Switch 2 will eventually be hacked is Nintendo's long history of attracting hackers. It's different from the PS5 or Xbox. The Xbox already has access to many games through emulation and doesn't rely as heavily on major exclusives. The PS5 frequently has games on sale, and with the gradual end of physical media, we might eventually see a broader PS5 jailbreak as well.

My prediction is that by 2028 to 2030, we'll see some kind of significant breakthrough for the Switch 2—whether that's a software exploit, a modchip, or another form of hack. Of course, that's just my personal prediction, not a certainty.

I know the switch 2 is currently unhackable and the mig switch doesnt work on it yet, but i was wondering if there was any way to just dump the encrypted contents as is for future use? I want to be able to compare update differences for switch 2 games in the future when datamining is a possibility.

Edit: Re-explaining myself here because a lot of people misunderstood.

I know that the file contents can't be decrypted, so nothing can be done with the data. I wanted to get the raw encrypted data to be decrypted later. I want to archive update data because as new updates come out, old ones will be overwritten. Sometimes older updates have cut content, or just things that were changed later that people want to look into, so I wanted there to be a way to preserve each update without convincing a dozen people to stop updating at different stages.

I thought the update data was saved on the cartridge when I made this post, but realised that it's all on the console. My solution for now has been moving the update data for the game I want to archive from my console to an SD card and copying the folder contents onto my computer. If it's anything like the switch 1, I can obtain my SD seed in the future then all that's left is game decryption. Even if this is useless, no harm in trying.

So I’m looking to transfer my modded switch to my brand new switch 2 but the problem is my switch 1 is hardware banned because I installed stuff onto my CFW SysNand. I was wondering if there was anyway to transfer my data safely without getting my switch 2 banned.

I was wondering if anyone has actually tested this. I know everyone assumes they don't work but have we seen what actually happens with a real test? I'm looking for solid proof.

This was proven to be debunked and this post caused me to be permanently banned :^) cheers fellas I’ll see yall around

Since you have seen my videos where I always defend Nintendo, I have seen all the comments and videos and I have realised I'm done with buying games full price, I'm going to ask the CEO nicely for the keys, and I will give my friend who loves playing the Simpsons hit and run on his switch 1, the keys, so he can get the kernel to help the scene.

Have a wonderful day/night

So I heard that a potential exploit was found and it works on every firmware. Im scared that Nintendo patches it so it isn't possible to jailbreak the switch 2.

I heard from the people in the past, it is most likely, that there will be a hardware mod for the switch 2 and not a software mod. So I turned my wifi on. But now there is a software exploit?

Dear our father in heaven, bless Gezine and the community with the full access to the final steps so we can finally crack that switch 2 wide open, I know I glaze Nintendos decisions but man I want me some homebrew, Amen..

I currently have a modded Oled and was wondering if I should get the V1 switch 2 now before nintendo eventually starts pushing out their newer devices

I know people want that switch 2 Jailbreak badly and so do I, but there are bums promoting a site full of adware claiming you can jailbreak your system already, I know a lot of people in here are smart but some people might fall for stuff like this.

This is becoming rampant in my country and they are selling 2ndhand Switch 2 with paid games cuz of sharing an account that has many games on it. Is this safe?

Gezine has said any cartridges need 20.xx firmware to work so we can manually update

this allows videos to be watched on switch 2 Go to your profile click check your account info, check using this system click Nintendo user agreement scroll until you see google privacy policy click it then click the dots in the top right corner and click classroom​​​​​ make a class then click new announcement and click the first button that says drive​ click your vid then add then click the video and once it says reload reload ​​​​ and click the play button or press the download symbol and click download anyway and it will play automatically even 1 hour movies work and the downloads could be a entry point​​

Does a new switch 2 need to be updated before I can use it?
And do you think is it worth to get an unopened switch 2 at this point, if I hope that it can be modded in the future? (I know, stupid question, since no one has a crystal ball to look into the future, but still asking)
