Goldeneye has slowdowns in some areas, perfect dark is better than the n64 version and twine has graphical glitches (can't see your gun etc)

That's encouraging, and a lot better than back on the wii. Thanks

If your switch is patched and you're on less than 6.2 you'll get browserhax soon

6.2 and higher maybe never

Question, I bought SXOS and have been pretty happy with it but I wanted to try out atmosphere and stuff, how would I go about that? Do I just need to remote the SXOS license and stuff from my sdcard and just put on the atmosphere installer or do I need a new dongle?

You don't need to overwrite or remove anything. Just put the atmosphère files on your SD card (there should be an "atmosphere" and a "sept" folder on your SD root afterwards), and then just push fusee-primary.bin as the payload in RCM.

I dunno if you can reflash the SX OS dongle with a different payload or something, but the SX OS menu probably also has an option to chainload different payloads from the SD. A quick google tells me that putting the atmosphere payload (fusee_primary.bin) into the root of your SD and using the "Launch external payloads" option in the SX menu should work, but it's secondhand knowledge, since i don't use SX.

SX was good for it's time when there was only xci loading, as soon as nsp installs were possible I bought a 400gb SD and never looked back

Thinking about going ahead and getting an HDD so I can stop swapping out WiiU discs. Is there one that's recommended? Also is there a Homebrew app that lets me rip my own games?

I was skeptical about the video because Android Q AFAIK only exists as a leaked build, no AOSP source available, but there are a bunch of Switch Homebrew devs who retweeted this so... weird.

switched over to Atmosphere/Kosmos, took some troubleshooting but I also changed over my SXOS dongle to boot directly to Hekate. Only issue I haven't been able to resolve is I have a "Some necessary data could not be found" nag on a couple of games I had to reinstall

Put some GBA games on there. I never really dug into the Homebrew scene like I did on the DS but I'd love to hear some cool stuff if there's anything. I know the DS had a few music making apps people made that were cool.

If you want to get your SNES on, there are builds of SNES9X that run flawlessly with pretty much all titles even on an OG 3DS.

I hacked my SNES classic to run PSX games off a USB drive, but none of them will save properly. While I'm running the game, it will save fine. The problem is when I close it everything disappears. Any ideas?

Yep, but the recent firmware is still in progress. Works for new patched models running 4.1.0 still.

Do you have the brightness cranked all the way up, as well as power saving mode off?

I think it's the other way around. Recent firmware (and all others in the future, barring any completely out-of-left-field strokes of genius by Nintendo) are now basically open forever, since the hardware security co-processor is compromised.
The newer patched models have patched the vulnerability in Recovery Mode that makes access to said co-processor possible in the first place though, so for new hardware revision models you'll have to rely on (more or less easily patchable) exploits in the running OS to get control of the system.
Exploits are known for <=4.1.0 definitely, and probably <6.2.0 (possibly higher since as SciresM said the driver isn't very secure), but none have been put into a workable and exploitable end-user solution yet.


What that means in broader terms though, is that they found another vulnerability in NVidia hardware. Specifically that all devices outfitted with the same controller that the Switch uses for its TSEC (a Falcon v5) is compromisable. I've heard that according to NVidia's own bragging, this includes about ~3 billion devices, not just Switches.

All because it was included in a Nintendo console, and hackers really wanted to crack it.

I've been using various 3DS systems since launch and I've never noticed any screens getting dimmer over time. I'll try to compare the New 3DS I bought a few months ago to the New 3DS I got on launch after work.

But I always do appreciate the Switch's screen a lot more if I use it right after a long 3DS session.

New Atmosphère relese (0.8.5) for the switch.

Includes better control over overriding titles (for mods and the like), down to per-title button configs. homebrew menu and homebrew launcher now come pre-bundled, as well.
This version now also includes a cheat engine system module, which implements cheat codes (like Gateway used for 3DS), and which will be extended in the future to implement all of Nintendo's debug monitor functions.

I guess the thread title will become relevant soon

I picked up a used New 2DSXL the other day and it was super easy to hack just following the instructions. I skipped basically the entire DS and 3DS generations so it's been fun to check those out.

One thing that amazes me though is, on a 100% portable system, how many games have like 30 minute cutscenes and save points. Like drat I know sleep mode is a thing but maybe I want to play 2 minutes of this and 2 minutes of that, eh? I'm not a Japanese kid with a two hour train ride every day.

Edit: don't mind me, a time traveler from the year 2005, complaining about things I didn't pay for.

What games are you talking about? I haven’t really noticed that issue except for a few ports that were originally console games.
