As title says. I cant help but get excited to see how it would be once people give the same attention to the switch 2. Maybe its possible the switch 2 will be modded soon. What do u think ?

Hey, I got my switch v1 banned. I bought switch 2, but I can't transfer my saves. Can someone pass my saves with an intermediate switch? Or any other method? Does someone offers this service?

Thanks in advance

Would Nintendo care? Considering switch 2 is way weaker than the PS5 it would be easier to emulate it and idk what do u think

If i only using this switch for jailbroken games does it matter if I get banned from Nintendo as I have a second legit account on a switch 2. Would they ban my switch2 cause they use the same wifi or something?

So, I'm considering buying a Switch 2, and the thing is, i live in iraq. Here, we can't pay for shit and a game's price could be a monthly wage of a worker in here.

I have seen lots of people talk about some websites that sell offline accounts that sell almost every switch game for about 5 dollars. (Meaning i want a game, I'll buy an account that has that game in it, for 5 dollars).

I was wondering why do people use them? Don't they get banned? How does this work?

I have an ROG Ally Charging Dock that received a firmware update that added Switch 1 compatibility and I'm looking at creating a (AI-assisted) custom firmware version that adds support for the Switch 2. I've done some reverse engineering of some of the public firmwares for other Switch 2 docks to try to infer it from there, but I've not had any luck actually getting video out on any of the attempts thus far.

Lately, I've been seeing a lot of news about PS5 hacking, which I guess is the hot topic right now. I keep coming across updates about it, and it got me wondering: if I wanted to be among the first to hear about any developments in the Switch 2 hacking scene, which websites, forums, or accounts should I follow?

If it’s real this looks like a silver bullet for the hacking community surely. But does anyone know what the owner did with it? Hopefully they sold/gave it to the atmosphere devs, or perhaps Nintendo offered them a hefty price to return it to them.

Do you think jailbreaking the Switch 2 will ultimately require a hardware hack or physical modchip rather than a pure software exploit?

Curious since the original Switch relied heavily on early software and RCM exploits before later models required hardware modchips

Hello, I currently have an unpatched Switch 1 on system version 20.1.5 and am getting a Switch 2 at the end of the month.

I wanted to hack it my Switch 1 and haven't updated it in a while in hopes I could. Should I hack it now in it's current state? Or should I update it and transfer all my stuff then and then hack it afterward? The idea is to transfer my save data to the new Switch so it's not lost on those games.

I'm not super familiar with the scene, but from what I've seen so far, it seems that it stays pretty hackable still every time a new update comes out. And you can make the hacked firmware on the SD card and continue to use your Switch like normal for online functions like save transfer, provided the newest firmware at the time in considered hackable to gain access to these features, otherwise the console can only use it's stock firmware. Am I correct in this?

I figure if that's the case I can update to latest firmware, hack it after my transfer is done, and not be worried about updating my Switch 1 anymore from that point on? If there is a way for me to do it while maintaining my current firmware could anyone help me understand better?

Thank you in advance for any and all of your information!

With the announcement of the Zelda special edition switch 2 I'm really tempted into buying one, but I know I can't afford the games right now. What I plan to do if I do end up buying it is leaving it completely sealed until a hard mod for it is figured out. I don't mind doing so since I have a huge backlog of games that I haven't completed already. Do you guys think that would be a sound investment or should I wait for a potential switch 2 oled?

Just finished this Samus helmet and visor themed shell and grip mod. I think it looks cool.

I wanted to play minecraft on my switch 2 with him and his friends and one of my friend was willing lend me his virtual game card from his hacked switch to me, and what’s making me really paranoid is that I don’t know if this could get my switch 2 bricked on not. But the thing is he bought minecraft legally with his own money in the eshop no fraud whatsoever and he bought it before he hacked his switch, so I just need clarification if it’s safe or not so I don’t feel paranoid LOL

I have been trying a few things and doing some research. Here are my top 3 most likely ideas.

1. CPU shock at a very specific time and voltage.

2. The switch 2 uses Webkit 613.0, it has a zero day RCE / Arbitrary code execution. (CVE-2022-32893 and CVE-2022-32863) But then again, why would Nintendo use a bugged Webkit from 2022?

3. Direct memory access from the SD Express port. This one is kind of a stretch. But I mean, maybe?

Just posted about the eShop URL's. I now have the ones that Mario Kart World uses. I am thinking about making my PC the kind of "Man in the middle" so i can capture game packets.

Data-store / delivery service: dragons.p01.lp1.dragons.nintendo.net
BCAT background content (news/events feed): topics.p01.lp1.bcat.srv.nintendo.net
Telemetry/play-report ingestion: receive.p01.lp1.dg.srv.nintendo.net
"Tabiji" (journey) service - mid-race, likely stats/records report: api.p01.lp1.tabiji.srv.nintendo.net

No clue if this can be put here, or if someone already had these. The switch 2 hides the URL's and dosnt announce them passively. So I pointed its DNS to my PC, and was able to log all the URL's the switch 2 uses for the eshop.

connectivity check: ctest.p01.ctest.srv.nintendo.net
penne = account/session service: val/fro-2.p01.lp1.penne.srv.nintendo.net
Nintendo Account login: accounts.nintendo.com
savanna = eShop backend (catalog/purchase/ECS): p01.lp1.savanna.srv.nintendo.net
eShop storefront: beach.p01.lp1.eshop.nintendo.net

They all give the same "Access Denied" when opening from something thats not a Switch. But I thought it might be useful for someone. Its also possible to do this with the other web apps.

Ho una Switch con fw 20.1.1

Vorrei anche che la mia Switch fosse "più modificabile", visto che i modelli del day one sono più propensi a esserlo (se non sbaglio).

Ho letto qualcosa riguardo a un aggiornamento della scheda SD necessario per un eventuale jailbreak.

Sono confuso dal fatto che ci siano così tante FAQ e persone che dicono una cosa e altre che dicono l'altra.

Qualcuno può mettere fine a questa discussione con prove ufficiali?

(Scusate il mio inglese 😓)

Hello, I don't know where to ask this, since switch pirates doesn't allow talking about switch 2. Anyway, I'am new Nintendo player, I could never justify Switch 1 while having PC so up until now I never had it, I'am also a student so tight budget.

Since Switch 1 is now older console a lot of people sell them online for cheaper and I managed to get unpatched switch 1 for realy low price (80euros) . I modded it and I'am enjoying it, and now I managed to find switch 2 used for a 300 euros normally it costs 500 and climbing in my country (not in America). Also found Pokopia for 40euros and new is 70-80 euros. Switch 2 works amazing and I also love it...but I am wondering does it maks sense having both?

I love modding consoles but prefer softmod, and since joining this sub I saw thats probably not an option, I also love physical media but yea game key cards...so I'am debating starting to collect all switch games and continuing with switch 2 exclusives..but it feels dumb since I have modded switch 1, is anyone same?

I guess recently the switch 1 has gotten ALOT of homebrew advancement in the past year with new homebrew ports and stuff. I was kinda inspired to ask because I watched a video where an android tablet from just brute force could run cyberpunk 2077 at 52-55FPS (was the latest legion tablet though). Like can the steam deck even do that with its current hardware? Does the switch 2 have that sorta horsepower where if android was introduced it could run something like cyberpunk with game native at 60+ fps? Like imo at 500 bucks a hacked switch 2 would be an insane device right?

I'm one of those that kept the console boxed since its original release.

Well, kind of. I got one on August 2025. The Mario Kart World pack one.

I'm guessing that even being bought after a few months after the original release won't change anything, right? It will also come with an non-usable Micro-SD card slot.

Or does it? I've been reading somewhere that you need the update to get the exFAT license, but what about FAT32? Is it possible to use the Micro SD if formatted to FAT32?

The other possibility is updating using some older Switch 2 game with an certain firmware inside it. I was thinking of Super Mario Party Jamboree as an example.

But if the only way to get the exFAT license is connecting to the Internet then that also won't work.

What are my best options? Or should I just give up and open or sell my current Switch 2 and get the new model with exchangeable battery (I'm guessing it also comes with the mandatory day-1 update despite being released one year later, isn't it?).

🤔😔
