with the billions of CVE being found in every major software project, is there any hope to crack pic related?

I dunno

it might get cracked toward the end of the product lifecycle once it has already reached market saturation.

Honestly though, if there is onr company out there that deserves our money it is Nintendo.

it doesnt matter how bad things get in the world. Nintendo has been there for two centuries giving us quality fun and entertainment.

HOLY SHIIIIT

no. security by proprietary software obfuscation is solid despite what FOSStards say. LLMs are weapons against known code and behavior.

108831899 no (you)
if none of the horseshit theyve output from star fox zero to pokemon legends za hasnt made you despise nintendo, youre a disney adult with a controller

i'm sure the overlap between disney adults and modern nintendo fans is near 1:1 at this point, they're the same exact archetype of person

Why do you care about this product? Honestly.
>>108832045
Kids like it afaik. Their TA is kids, so why do you even consider talking about it here? Honestly. This place is 18+, is it not?
>>
>>108832061
Their target audience is literally adults with $550 to spare, kids want gaming PCs.
>>
>>108832069
Do you see adults with those toys in public very often? I remember PSP era, only kids used it. Adults would only have it if they had kids.
An adult person with money to spend would not even consider something like that, they don't need a way to kill time while parents are driving them to school, 'cause they're adults...

bull shit. it's for nintendo adults.
>>
>>108832106
Maybe you haven't noticed but "going outside" is an extremely expensive pastime, it's more cost effective to play video games at home for the amount of money spent per hour of entertainment value.

I figured out nintendo fans were completely irredeemable NPCs after I saw a bunch of retards on youtube plug in a Switch 1 flashcart in their switch 2s and complain about getting their Switch 2 banned and then quickly buying another one so they can keep their switch-centric youtube channel going.

>>108832264
Games is generally not the reason people crack any console.
>>
>>108832164
>I saw a bunch of retards on youtube
Those are marketing/sales people. So called influencers.
And you are a retard.
>>
>>108832309
they are not being reimbursed by nintendo when they get their console banned and have to buy a scalped up switch 2 during the same release week window, they are literal retards.
>>
>>108831843
AI can only help to break into code we can see. There is no documentation for this hardware unlike previous tegra so no. It's more likely for Nintendo and Nvidia to use AI for themselves to find vulnerabilities than the opposite.
>>
>>108832061
to be honest, no I don't think the modern kid thinks much of nintendo for the most part
>>
>>108831843
It ain't happening for years
>>
>>108832329
What if they ARE the scalpers? Who would be talking about and marketing this thing if not the scalpers? They want to sell it more than nintendo does.

CVEs are an irrelevant jobs program though.

How do people even crack this shit? How did they discover the RCM bug in the early first Switch? How the fuck did someone have a thought "hey lets use a bent paperclip to short two pins on the controller rail and see what happens"?
Back in the 3DS days, how did someone figure out that if you build a special webpage and reload it over and over again it will hit some overflow in the browser that will push an executable payload into the exact region in memory that will make the system execute it and allow a takeover?
I'm pretty technically minded but this shit is fucking black magic to me.
>>
>>108831843
Every console gets cracked, it's just a matter of time.
>>
>>108833218
From what I remember for the Switch, the RCM was something that existed on the NVIDIA chip they were using and that was already documented, so they checked if Nintendo had left access to it
>>
>>108833218
> How do people even crack this shit?
You mean when they wire up a microcontroller by literally soldering wires to a PCB to induce CPU glitches during a specific narrow time window which would flip certain bits in memory?
>>
>>108833241
Interesting, and Nintendo didn't realize that during all the years the console was in development?
>>108833263
Yes, that too. How do people know both the CPU architecture and the firmware logic to know which bits on which pins to flip and when? I have soldered a few premade hardmods in my life and again it's fucking black magic: take 3.3V from this point here, 5V from here, this wire goes to this pin of this chip, that to that pin of that other chip on the daughterboard, and poof, you can now install custom firmware, or your player is region free, or whatever.
How on God's loving Earth does one even start gaining this kind of knowledge? How do you make a successful crack without burning through thousands of dollars on wasted consoles when things did no go right and you just fried the motherboard? I can't wrap my head around it at all.
>>
>>108833324
>Interesting, and Nintendo didn't realize that during all the years the console was in development?
Nintendo just bought the cheap tegra x1s. There was no development, they needed a hardware to replace the failure that was the wiiu. This time the chip seems to be customized and of course there is no documentation for people to find vulnerabilities so you will have to test the harware yourself.
>>
>>108832487
b-but freetards told us that open source is better because it means le community will fix your bugs for free?
>>
>>108831843
Why not try yourself? Why wait for someone else to do it for you? If you are not able, fine, but did you at least try? You tried, right?
>>
Nintendo created their own microkernel OS from scratch just to make their shit as hard to crack as possible. They have no intention of ever releasing another product that the buyer actually owns.
>>
>>108833436
they do. nintendo just doesn't care because they'd rather spend billions developing overengineered (yet somehow cheap and plasticky) products than tolerate the existence of a single person on earth playing a game for free
>>
>>108833436
I mean if they made it open source people would find vulnerabilities to play games for free, not to make the system better. The last time i actually saw good homebrew was in the ds/wii days, Everyone will just slap retroarch or dualboot with linux now. If this community is that lazy better to just buy a steam deck
>>
>>108831843
Yeah, in 15 years some autist will do it
>>
I buy consoles and keep them in the box until there's a firmware exploit, but kids don't have the patience for that. I wrote trainers for PS4 games that I've never released. I only bother opening the box when/if there's an exclusive game I don't expect to be emulated for a while.
>>
>>108833040
I wish
>>
>>108833324
late reply but
>RCM
This is what they use to fix bricked consoles at service centers. It enforces code signing of course but there was a bug that lets you bypass that and it was discovered around the same time the switch came out. It also affected nvidia's car SoCs and GPUs.
>paperclips
You need to hold a certain button to enter RCM mode. Not hard to figure out where this button was wired to.
>glitching, 3DS browser
These are not new concepts. CPU glitching is already a well known technique by then. Same for web browser exploits.
