I mean, it's always great to fuck with Nintendo, they are scum, buuut... I will proceed to not touch those things with a pole the diameter of the universe. Fuck this vibecoded trash.

    I don’t think it’s vibe coded, though. Real people who’ve put work into emulator projects are going at it with a pair of pliers and a blowtorch.

    But the “ai” helped them get access to the console. I’m assuming most,if not all, decompiles needed it bc of the speed which it was done. But you can use an emulator instead.

    It’s actually very interesting bc they didn’t even need root access. This pulls everything without decryption. No security keys are needed.

    Modern Vintage Gamer put up a video yesterday talking about it, and the short version is that 90% of the work was already done by the Yuzu team. The Switch 2 still runs Horizon OS, still runs a Tegra architecture, so the majority of the work getting Switch 2 titles to run is in converting new instructions and stuff.
