homebrew, coming soon to a switch near you

[The Murderous Cop]

so a lot of stuff just happened as of only yesterday and today

the nvidia tegra bootrom was recently released, possibly allowing for the cfw, atmosphere, to release faster
ShofEL2, a nvidia tegra exploit was released by fail0verflow, along with linux
Fusée Gelée, an exploit chain for all firmwares was also released, including a writeup
plutoo releases a 3.0.0 firmware exploit's source code, and announces they're leaving the switch scene
people can now contribute to the dev to help with the release of Atmosphere CFW

and last but not least
dolphin dev Pierre Bourdon + fail0verflow showcase dolphin actually running on nintendo switch using linux, and is able to play gamecube/wii games with some frameskip

obviously, games won't be running at full speed for a while, but this is rather amazing that it's possible
with all of these recent hacks, exploit releases and other various info, there's a bright future for the switch when it comes to homebrew
i'm honestly excited, can't wait for all the interesting tools, homebrew and emulators people manage to release
what do you guys think?

so..... wat is homebrew?

unsigned/unofficial programs that you make (or a team of friends/devs/whatever). basically you use open source tools to make your stuff for whatever console you're hacking instead of official stuff, and most of the time you need some kind of exploit/CFW to run it

this can range from system info tools, to media players, to emulators, to FTP servers, a lot of things

its only piracy if you load games you didn't pay for onto it

homebrew are games brewed at home

Nintendo should never have used off the shelf hardware.
oh well, another portable emulator system.
This will probably be better than the PSP, assuming the batteries aren't going to die withing 5 years & no viable replacement alternatives outside of new old-stock.
