It's insane how much progress we made in a short time. I got the core of the exploit working within 36 hours of release, and then everyone's been working super hard to make it useful and awesome. I couldn't be more proud of this team!
In terms of our plans, it's pretty simple: learn more about the system, escalate privileges where we can, and eventually be able to run our own code.
Personally, I really want Linux running. With the things we know now, we'll almost certainly have Linux as soon as the kernel is under our control.
- crooked-v 10y agoIt would be an amazing hardware platform to get some classic PC games running on (with aid of DOSBox, etc). Commander Keen and the original Doom both come to mind.
- daeken 10y agoI totally agree! The hardware is so close to Tegra dev boards that if/when we break the Switch kernel, we'll likely have full-blown Linux (or Android) in no time at all. I can't wait to be able to play SNES, PC, and more on this.
- Razengan 10y agoWhile a custom OS and home-brew will be great and increase overall hardware sales, I really hope the Switch doesn't develop a reputation for vulnerability to piracy and turn away third-party game developers so soon..
- daeken 10y agoI agree, very much. What I'm hoping for (and currently have no reason to think otherwise) is that they're using TrustZone to handle all the DRM, which will make piracy a huge, huge amount of work. It may also prevent us from totally owning the console, but we'll see.
