| theoretically, the playstations are the most vulnerable since they run static versions of a FreeBSD derived system. the xbox doesn't really need to be jailbroken and the switch line is nearly impossible |

| > switch line is nearly impossible Nah. Switch 1 is already compromised and I'd predict we'll see modchips for the Switch 2 in the next 3 years. |

| ▲ | mghackerlady a day ago | parent [-] | | Sorry, I should've specified soft mods. iirc there's only been 1 softmod for the switch that was patched out extremely early on before we knew about it | | |
| ▲ | ZenoArrow 14 hours ago | parent | next [-] | | You're partially right, only the first revision of the Switch 1 could be hacked without modchips, but those early revisions can't have a software patch as the exploit relied on a hardware bug (some design flaw in the NVIDIA Tegra SoC if I remember correctly). | | |
| ▲ | mghackerlady 4 hours ago | parent [-] | | I don't count that as a soft mod. I was referring to a webkit based exploit in early versions of the system software |

| > the switch line is nearly impossible Werent early versions of the Switch 1 jail broken pretty fast and people were dumping switch 1 roms online to play in emulators? I don’t follow this stuff too closely but I thought that I saw people playing the sequel to Breath of the Wild on PCs to get acceptable frame rates when it came out. |

| ▲ | mghackerlady a day ago | parent [-] | | Yeah, I should've specified softmods. There was a hardware bug in the launch switches SOC that wasn't patched until a year or so after the consoles launch |
