The “unpatchable” exploit that makes every current Nintendo Switch hackable

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.

"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.

I hope it's a remake of the 1st game. But it's probably just the PS5 version of Red Dead Redemption 2

OtterX14h ago

I hope a PS5 upgrade launches on the same day as announcement & it costs no more than $10. I already bought the Ultimate Edition once, they got good money from me.

I stopped playing completely 2 years ago until they did 60fps. I really didn't expect it would take this long & I didn't want to start completely over on PC.

dmonee3h ago

My wish is that its optimized for current gen machines, with some sort of story expansion. Undead nightmare 2! My 2nd wish is that it just shadow drops on the day of the announcement!.

Lionsguard3h ago

Give me my RDR2 Undead Nightmare already.

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.

Good interview. I mean I see Nintendo in their own lane.

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

goken4h ago(Edited 4h ago)

Huh?
Saying playstation is in decline since PS2 is like saying Call of Duty has been in decline since black ops 3… the point is COD is still selling gang busters everywhere every year

Nintendo undoubtedly doing better than PS in Japan owes at least in part to Japan’s preference towards handheld gaming.

ZeekQuattro4h ago

The PS3 was actually the start of Sony's hardware decline in Japan. It's only gotten worse since then for Sony.

Gex Trilogy (Switch) -A Happy Throwback That Couldn't Be Any More '90s| NintendoLife

"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

Take me back to the 90's, please! I'm sold.

azedean13h ago

It still does not work on switch 2...

OtterX13h ago

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.
