All this just to prevent users from finding ways to gain root access and jailbreak it? On one level I admire the lengths they've gone to, but jesus

Like I said, I even kind of admire the lengths they've gone through. But gaining root access and enabling CFW would massively improve the video game experience. Off the top of my head I can think of enabling overdrive to fix the screen, removing the underclock to increase framerate and of course being able to play pirated games. Unfortunately at this point it does seem like it will require soldering a modchip onto it which is much more inconvenient

There is one simple reason for this: they are all a security risk and open the console up to hacking. PlayStation started this trend with the PS4 by removing save states and incorporating them into the game itself.

>>728999953
you say that like it is a bad thing. Nintendo have lost millions to roms in the past especially with the DS era. They still had the balls to release in the portable market because they KNOW how much Japanese enjoy using one while they are growing up.
This entire Western melty has been funny because man children wake up but the real travesty is that their games have been really bad and with competition existing should enforce motivation.

>>728999953
You only need video games.
Use your computer or your phone for everything else that you've listed.

>Nintendo have lost millions to roms in the past especially with the DS era
Going by even the most generous estimates of how much revenue piracy costs Nintendo, you'd need to have hundreds of thousands of dollars in NTDOY for that to offset the economy you'd get from pirating 10 or 15 games

those were cool features like 20 years ago to have on portable gaming system. but nowadays everyone has phone that does all that and more. so i think it's fine for video game system to be just for video games

I already have a PC and a phone. If I'm going to turn on my switch it's to play a game
>>
>>729000172
Nintendo doesn't even sell DS games anymore. They're not losing a single dime to older ROMS.
>>
>>728999953
