Based on what I've been seeing, the Switch seems like the handheld of my dreams. Wondering: Can the it run ROMs and ISOs in the same way that a PSP can? If not, is there hope for the immediate future?
I'm not aware of any hacks. Not even for homebrew but maybe I'm wrong :shrug: idk
Ah, bummer. It'll change, though, hopefully. I remember something about a random Ninja game being used to 'unlock' the 3DS, heh. Are they open-ended now, the 2/3DS?Quote:

PS3 has had CFW for a long time but if you have one on OFW 4.70 or less you can inject a bunch of games without CFW (which is what I'm testing atm).
Xbox 360 has some DRM free stuff you can inject to USB and then copy over to the HDD, mostly DLC for games (from goty/complete versions) but also a few Live Arcade titles. No console mods needed for that.
As for emulation, don't expect that for a decade or two.
You never know :PQuote:

WiiU is emulated now but it was only released in 2012, still not got the console myself, they are still a little too much for me
3DS is also emulated now and was released back in 2011
EDIT: Yeah GBA emulation was released before the actual console, that had to suck for Nintendo yet they still had a good run for it Boycott Advance (Not the best now but it was released over a year before the GBA was, mostly homebrew and dev tech demo's running until the games arrived but played those on release of the games far from perfect but they worked) I admit the real fun came apx a year later as compat was getting fine tuned and the next few year after
Cubic Ninja. Ninjhax only allowed for homebrew, just like Browserhax, Tubehax and Soundhax. You can do more if you have modified firmware. Most people who want to play backups should use a Sky3DS card, but they're very expensive.Quote:

Only up to $20,000, though, which is a little low in my opinion when it could prevent piracy. Then, they'd just patch it up in an update and all would be well. I think it'll end up being like the DS and 3DS where flashcarts eventually come out, but it'll take a few years.
