The Nintendo Switch 2 has been hacked with a Userland exploit that requires SmileBASIC to run.
Following recent reports of character injection in Mario Kart World running on retail hardware, the security landscape is shifting rapidly. Commercial games are being dumped and datamined and of course some early homebrew is starting to appear, but what does this mean for the end-user and will we start to see emulators, decomps and recomps appearing anytime soon?
Lets talk about the Switch 2 Jailbreak, how we got here and what the future holds in todays episode!
