Somebody successfully jailbroke the Switch 2 and modded MKW. If you've got one, keep it offline just in case it is patched. Looks like they're getting it to be more reliable right now.
@lain like games that work with the exploit?
@lain well what the fuck are they? xD
@lain interesting, you can probably only get that if you've got a JP account though which i don't unfortunately
@lain from what it looks like to me, and i'm no security researcher or anything so take this with a grain of salt...
this seems to be some method of copying a save file over to an "artemis engine" game that will save the exploit for future use, but the exploit still needs to be initially done with smilebasic and the whole process with using a computer.
it's not a way to exploit the console in of itself, but it's kind of like tethering the exploit to something you can just click once instead of needing to go through a setup every time.
@lain apparently you can do this same exploit on a switch 1 technically, but OP says nintendo will block save file transfers so you can't do the exploit on the switch 1 and then transfer the save to your switch 2. otherwise that would have been really awesome.
Unfortunately, the actual exploit can only be done if you had SmileBASIC downloaded on your Switch 2 before it got delisted, just a few hours ago. However, it does open things up for the researchers to find another method of exploiting.
