i could have sworn I read something a few weeks ago about nintendo using a different CPU in future Switch revisions. i wonder if this is the reason?

That "technical explanation" from reswitched that you linked was already sent to nvidia at some past date, and they said they were going to release it publicly this June or when other hackers figured it out. The latter happened today so they released it

ah so it's definitely why nintendo wants to use a different CPU

I wonder how they are going to do that without messing up developers or past games?

i know nvidia was notified well before the switch cfw hack was released by the person who discovered it, so yeah probably. nintendo offers a reward for exploits found but i’d assume you’d have to sign some documents saying you wont release it in that case

1) take money from Nintendo

2) wait 3 days and then send the hack info to your friend on IRC so he can release it instead

You can buy a Vita motherboard with a low firmware for pretty cheap

Hackers still want to figure out how to hack the newer firmwares because there's no such thing as firmware spoofing so newer games won't play on a hacked Vita

I used to enjoy how long it took to get to islands. I would turn my wavebird off and then try to slightly hold the c-stick while turning it back on so the camera would slowly rotate across the horizon really dramatically.
