I'm not convinced, jailbreaks are becoming more difficult.

Given enough time, I'm sure it will happen, if only because they're not going to get security updates until the end of time.

And even if true, there's always emulation (also a pain though).

Emulation requires the ability to dump games.

And dumping games requires a jailbreak.

That's why there's no switch 2 emulation as of now.

theoretically, the playstations are the most vulnerable since they run static versions of a FreeBSD derived system. the xbox doesn't really need to be jailbroken and the switch line is nearly impossible

> the switch line is nearly impossible

Werent early versions of the Switch 1 jail broken pretty fast and people were dumping switch 1 roms online to play in emulators?

I don’t follow this stuff too closely but I thought that I saw people playing the sequel to Breath of the Wild on PCs to get acceptable frame rates when it came out.

Yeah, I should've specified softmods. There was a hardware bug in the launch switches SOC that wasn't patched until a year or so after the consoles launch

> switch line is nearly impossible

Nah. Switch 1 is already compromised and I'd predict we'll see modchips for the Switch 2 in the next 3 years.

Sorry, I should've specified soft mods. iirc there's only been 1 softmod for the switch that was patched out extremely early on before we knew about it

You're partially right, only the first revision of the Switch 1 could be hacked without modchips, but those early revisions can't have a software patch as the exploit relied on a hardware bug (some design flaw in the NVIDIA Tegra SoC if I remember correctly).

I don't count that as a soft mod. I was referring to a webkit based exploit in early versions of the system software

Nah, Switch has been blown wide for almost a decade now.
