People that were using the Nintendo Switch 2 OS exploit in the recent jailbreak should be made aware that this has now been patched up in Version 23.5.0. The informative OatMealDome has said that dumping and modding games will be impossible again from this point forward. Though Nintendo will clearly have to keep one step ahead of those who are avidly working to hack and exploit the Nintendo Switch 2 system. Here’s what he said:
“The OS exploit used in the recent jailbreak has been patched in version 23.5.0.
Dumping and modding games will be impossible again from this point forward, with the exception of some cartridge games (and maybe game updates) that are released in the near future.
While game exploits like SmileBASIC and Civilization VI still exist, it is no longer possible to “escape” the game starting with 23.5.0. This effectively means that the capabilities of homebrew are locked to whatever the game can do already (i.e. not much).”
Thanks to Edward B for sending in the news tip!
Remember that the Switch 1 v2/lite/oled STILL don’t have software kernel hack. The Switch 2 hack is also not kernel so the “not much” part is accurate.
