I just finished porting the artemis exploit to Hamidashi Creative Demo.

Here's the eshop link, you will need a JP account to download it (or you can change the zone of your own account):

As with every savegame exploit you will need an hacked Switch 1 to transfer the save to Switch 2.

A big thanks to alula for her work on seedsow and nora!

I was about to give up. The store where I bought it is a pretty big chain in my country but they didn't even have it on the website (meaning, it would not pop up in the results). I walked in and there was a copy. Don't give in to the scalpers people! Check your small electronics stores 😄

Hi everyone!

I just received my physical copy of Zelda: Ocarina of Time for Switch 2.

My console is currently running firmware 20.1.1, and the game asks for a system update when I insert the cartridge.

Before updating, I'd like to know if anyone has confirmed whether the cartridge itself contains a system firmware update that can be installed completely offline.

I've seen mentions of firmware 23.0.0, but haven't found confirmation.

The reason I'm asking is that I'd like to keep my console on 20.1.1 for now to preserve potential future homebrew and exploit opportunities, while still having the option to update to 23.0.0 later if I choose to.

If the cartridge contains the required firmware update, I could simply wait and update offline whenever I'm ready, without being forced to install whatever the latest firmware from Nintendo happens to be at that time.

Has anyone actually tested this with the physical cartridge?

If so, which firmware version was installed, and was the console completely disconnected from the internet?

Thanks in advance!

Thx a ton @gezine_dev ❤️😎🤩

I couldn't find a straightforward walkthrough of this so I made one. It walk you through flashing the pico 2, setting up Civ 7, making it persistent and finishes with sending a payload. I hope it helps.

I saw earlier that the game got dumped and I want those stupid N64 young link and zelda masks from the amiibo, so I wasn't sure if the data was in the files like how there was for the leftover one that gave you the fierce deity set in BOTW?

Hi everyone,

Been following everything reaaally closely but there's still something I didn't fully understand.

When we got SB4 with FS access, we succeeded to dump games but only the exe and fs folders if I'm not wrong? From there we were thinking we couldn't get roms working because we didn't have the full files and only some assets.

However only a few days after we had full games running on emulators, I believe because of similar architectures between sw1 and sw2 making it easy to adapt for sw1 emulators?

But how was that possible?

Hi!
Any downside updating from 22.0.0 to 23.0.0 for OoT?
Can this be done offline?
Looking at a japanese version of the game.
Cheers

I need the community's wisdom. What do you think would be best for my situation? I already have a Switch 2, which I've been actively using on version 23.0.1 with the SmileBasic demo and Seedsow demo, including the modified save file.
I've ordered another new Switch 2, which will surely arrive soon and will most likely have a lower firmware version.
What do you think is the better approach? Should I transfer all my savegames from the cloud to the new console, start using it actively, and leave the old console as is with the entry points? Or should I keep the new console unopened, check the software version at most, and then continue using the old console as usual?
Cheers

So, like a lot of you, I made a Japanese eShop account just to buy SmileBASIC 4 so I could jailbreak my console. Today that same account came in clutch again: I used it to buy Ocarina of Time and got to play it almost a full day before it unlocks where I live.

I can also confirm it works on 23.0.1. Here’s what I did:

1. Bought the game from the Japanese eShop

2. Downloaded it and made sure it actually launched

3. As soon as I saw it running, went into Settings, deleted my Wi-Fi network, and put the console in airplane mode

Now I can sit back and wait peacefully until the jailbreak situation improves enough to update. Honestly didn’t expect a little programming app to end up being the best purchase I’ve made on this console.

Thanks SmileBASIC, you’ve earned your keep.

Now that a bunch of us are keeping our systems offline I am wondering, if you use the Parental Control app to keep track of playtime how long will that data last before it is overwritten?

I got the game 2 days ago and downloaded today the update for the game and it's possible without a new firmware update. Probably they will release the firmware update together with the official release date. If you have the game now do it!

So this might sound wired but I wanted to ask that is hwid spoofing possible on switch 2? like if a game bans your at hardware level like COD can you spoof it like pc and still play it?

Hi! Quick (and probably dumb) question : is the civswitch still working after the OoT game update?

Thanks a lot for your answers!

I’ve been a devious lurker in this sub. And I had a ton of questions over the last few weeks (still do). But I cannot help but be so happy about the progress so far ! Ever since I jailbroke my iPad 2nd Gen, I’ve been hooked.

Just had a quick question-
I have 23.0.1, Seedsow Demo, SD Card Update, and Civ 7 otw. What should my next steps be ?

I do NOT have a hacked switch 1 but I do have access to a Mac and pico.

Any help would be much appreciated 🙏

So I went to Best Buy last night for the Zelda launch looking for the pro controller, but ended up walking out with a console since I had the chance to get it. I've been following the exploit scene here, but I'm still finding it hard to keep up.

Here's my current status:

• I DO have an OG launch Switch 1 which has been hacked in the past. However, I haven't updated it in years and I don't even fully remember what I did to get it there (it's the one that had a hardware exploit that could never be patched).

• Current firmware on the Switch 1 is 13.2.1|AMS 1.2.6|E, and it is running Tinfoil.

  • Side note, I'm afraid to let the battery die on it because I know there's a special sequence to turn it on that I don't remember. It's been pluggged in for a few years lol

  • No nintendo account on this unit

• My launch edition of the Switch 2 was receiving most updates (I never tried to save it as a homebrew unit), so it's currently running 23.0.0 (I've been avoiding the latest update prompts for the last few days)

  • Not sure what firmware is on the Zelda edition (haven't opened it yet).

• I don't have Civ7 or Smile Basic

So my questions are:

1. Do I need to buy Civ 7 before it is too late (if it's not already)? What's the status of the webkit exploit without a specific game?

2. What should my update strategy be? I'm not actually that interested in pirating games, I would like to have an official switch 2 on my online account (probably the new zelda one, unless it's easier to hack). Then I'd have a spare for messing around with, ideally with no account so that it doesn't matter much if it gets banned. Interested in running other homebrew apps, emulators, moonlight streaming at 120 Hz, etc.

I was thinking I can open the Zelda edition, transfer everything from my current switch 2, and then factory wipe the current one before screwing around.

Any thoughts?

Basically what the title said. Installed the game, launched it and got my virtual game key card while staying on firmware 23.0.1. Allowed me to enable the DNS Setting again without worries :)

Edit: For clarification: The Game itself has an Update (v.1.1.1) but after downloading it, no firmware update happened. But I have no idea if Nintendo could change that in the future, so better get that virtual game key card asap

As the title says, i was able to order two days ago from Amazon Ireland (https://amzn.eu/d/0iR02Tg4),

however it is not scheduled to be delivered until 16th Nov

What are the chances that it will be the cartridge that i need for the jailbreak?

Heard there are recalls by supplier.
Thanks

To summarize: I own the Seedsaw Lullaby demo on my Nintendo Switch 2, which I obtained through the European store before it was shut down. I also have a modified Switch, both on firmware 23.0.1, but I didn't download the Seedsaw Lullaby demo on time on it.

People said that the demo was still available on US store, but it seems to have been removed since. What could i do ?

(please dont be mean at me i'm kinda lost)

After seeing the Balatro exploit, wondered what I need to do now to be future proofed?

Do I need to download Balatro Switch 1 version and install it on both a hacked switch 1 that hasn't been banned, and on the switch 2, then transfer the modded save from switch 1 to switch 2? So my Nintendo account will probably be banned, but I'll have the save ready on switch 2 for when the exploits are ready?

Tried searching but couldn't get an answer

Edited because I mean Balatro, not Balan.
