A newly published "exploit chain" for Nvidia Tegra X1-based systems seems to describe an apparently unpatchable method for running arbitrary code on all currently available Nintendo Switch consoles. Dubbed "Fusée Gelée" ("Frozen Rocket") it exploits buggy code in the NVIDIA Tegra X1's USB recovery mode, bypassing software that would normally protect the critical bootROM.
Former PlayStation executive Shuhei Yoshida talks about how the company never really viewed Nintendo as competition.
yeh i can see that.
bk then, nintendo was rly successful with the wii, and they just did their own thing.
now nintendo is a juggernaut when it comes to first party games ; selling in the 10s of mio.
Not sure how he came to that conclusion of Japan
PlayStation has been in decline since the PS2
Aside from the Wii U Nintendo pretty much outpaced Sony in Japan, and not by a small margin
"Gex Trilogy is a happy throwback. The first game is a little clunky and occasionally laborious, but its sequels do better in their 3D expansion of its themes and idea. The main point of appeal is its connection to the period in which they were made. It’s full of comic quirks, zinging dialogue, and visual gags that scream MTV Generation. Across all three entries, the media hook and its tropes — from horror to Christmas to 1930s prohibition gangsters — work well to keep things fresh, fun and engaging.
That said, while there's a simplicity to the games themselves, the yesteryear technology and the sensibilities of many gamers may have moved on, making their baked-in fetch quests trying at times. Gex Trilogy’s value is bumped up by its invention and still very playable design aspects, but whether or not you can pit yourself through them really comes down to how much your nostalgic mileage varies, dude." - Tom Massey | NintendoLife
Yea Limited Run didn't get their dev kits until a couple weeks b4 launch. Something to do with Nintendo shunning Embracer Group companies. They're working on a fix, but yea I'm not buying it either until it works on Switch 2.
Yes, it is once again tail time, thanks to Limited Run Games.
"Temkin writes that she's publicizing the exploit now in part because of 'the potential for a lot of bad to be done by any parties who independently discover these vulnerabilities.'"
And so goes the legacy of Google Project Zero: The intent may be to help with security, but the direct effect is to fast-track the hackers. I can understand revealing and detailing exploits to the legitimate parties, like Intel or Nintendo. I cannot understand publishing a hacking guide for all to see--not months later, not ever. Sure, the info will leak eventually, but there is no justification to do so intentionally, even when wearing a white hat.
