It's Switch update time again, and a reminder not to update to 23.0.0 if you are using custom firmware! #NintendoSwitch

Switch firmware 22.0.0 is released. Due to SciresM's retirement, Atmosphère may take much longer to be updated. #NintendoSwitch

There's been a few claims of Switch 2 hacks and custom firmware lately. Most recent is an alleged "nand explorer", which is currently impossible. The UFS storage is encrypted, so direct access won't work without the keys, and there is still no software exploits to access the storage or get the keys.

Reminder that real Switch 2 homebrew may not happen anytime soon, if ever. If anything legitimate does appear, you will hear about it from reputable sources and not a random Twitter user.

The reason you might see a Switch 2 with "custom firmware" is due to images and videos being displayed in the Album. It is possible to insert custom content by signing images and videos so the OS accepts them.

A new video is out now, covering one of Nintendo's most dangerous oversights; a remote code execution exploit within Animal Crossing: New Leaf. Special thanks to @pretendo.network for their help with this video! Hope you find it interesting! 🧱

The 3DS is the best way to experience Virtual Boy games!

Marking the Virtual Boy's 30th anniversary, I'm releasing Red Viper v1.0.0, featuring more advanced palette configuration and Circle Pad Pro support! github.com/skyfloogle/r...

Note: Only in Japan. Nintendo of America still repairs Old 2DS and New 2DS XL.

Nintendo announced they've ended repair services for the 2DS XL due to running out of parts. This was the last 3DS model to still have official repair services. The 3DS is completely phased out now at Nintendo.

Be careful with trusting videos that show homebrew allegedly running on Switch 2. It is very easy to play a video through the browser. (If you're wondering how to get a video in a browser, it's the same method as Switch 1, using a custom captive portal.)

Let's be clear about something, the Nintendo Switch 2 was NOT hacked on day one. That video by David Buchanan is a Switch 1 game exploit transferred over to Switch 2, which is very limited due to sandboxing. It is not useful for hacking the console. #Switch2 #NintendoSwitch2
