In my search for knowledge about piracy and the dastardly fellows who partake in it, I came across an issue. How do these pirates attain nintendo switch games? i can’t seem to understand. may anyone who is well versed in this topic provide some knowledge? much appreciated.

    The first batch of Nintendo switch (millions and millions) have an unpatchable flaw that allows the owner to run whatever he wants. They use this flaw to run a program that simply extracts the files from the game cartridge

        There’s not much to mod if you have the first gen hardware. A 3D printed part and a paperclip can get the exploit going for ya

          Oooo that sounds easy! I’ve done my PSP, Vita, and 3DS so I shouldn’t have much issue. I do indeed have a first Gen switch.

              Beautiful. At least I don’t have to flash a battery’s firmware like I did with my friends’ PSP-2000s hahahaha

              I spent nine hours on my 3DS, then the next day a new method of modding came out that took under an hour. Shoulda waited a day!

          If you don’t have a 3D printer, you can buy the jig for like $5 online. Then it’s just a matter of sliding the jig into the joycon port and rebooting… bam hacked switch.
