    That’s a lot of effort put into getting a console with little value. Maybe wait till after it’s hacked in… Oh… Like three years or something.

      I mean the easiest switch to hack is the release day switch. And this is a pretty common pattern across all consoles including playstation and xbox. Generally the earlier hardware+earlier firmware will give you the best chance.

        Yes, that’s why some over at GBATemp aren’t updating their switch and poking at it. But it’ll still take a while, and “while” is measured in years usually.

        There’s a good chance that those with banned switches will be more motivated to find vulnerabilities in the system. Or give their banned switches to those that like finding vulnerabilities.

        Also, just because some vulnerabilities are found, doesn’t mean that piracy is a guarantee; there was some drama with the 3DS, and then later with the Switch 1, with the people who found vulnerabilities and built hacks not wanting their work to be used for piracy. Piracy only started becoming a thing, then, when other parties replicated (or surpassed) the original hacks and made it available for piracy. This caused some of the hackers to to leave (I think one of them was RXTools. Luma3D far surpassed RXTools).

          My point is, usually the launch model has the most value, often costing a premium even in the second hand market.

        Probably won’t ever get a Ryujinx 2. I’d keep an eye out on Torzu.

        However, the system will have to be hacked and decrypted first, but as of right now no real vulnerability has been discovered.
