I will be buying a switch lite as soon as a clear "jailbreak" path comes clear. I hope to use it with moonlight for gamestreaming, as well as rock my old school emulation collection. I will also be buying quite a bit of software, Mario+Rabbids, the new Zelda franchise games, and others. It's got a pretty awesome library of games that I'm looking forward to playing in bed.
Not making the buy until it runs unsigned code though. Nintendo has historically been pretty bad at security, and I'm certain it's only a matter of time before the exploit is found and released. Until then, no $$ for Mario.
The switch lite was already cracked by the TX team which was shut down and members arrested during the previous round of legal action from Nintendo a few weeks back. On the up-side, the TX mod chip has now also been cracked and dumped by the currently active community modders, so there will probably be a non-commercial implementation for the existing lite hardware soon.
There's still no way to boot anything but SXOS with a TX Core modchip. And I'm not sure there's any way to get a license for it now? From what I understand SXOS (from Team TX) contains copyrighted code from Nintendo. The open free one called Atmosphere doesn't. But you can't boot that with a TX Core (yet).
You do know that consoles aren't profit centers right? They make their money on the games, not the machines. You're threatening not to buy subsidized hardware and then never generate profit for the company - I'm sure they're quaking.
If you want to play old NES games, you can get them licensed and official on the switch.
> You do know that consoles aren't profit centers right? I'd say that was true with something like the PS3, but now with consoles using "fairly" COTS hardware; I could see at least breaking even.
Not really a threat. More of a statement. I'll also be buying a ton of games... like I stated in my post. Point being I wont be giving any money to the mouse for games OR hardware until I can do what I want with it.
You and three hundred other geeks who care about jailbreaks are not Nintendo's target market. You are but a flea in the minds of Nintendo executives. They don't care about you. Go away.
If there were only 300 then that would suggest nintendos pschotic nature going so hard for so few. You didnt use your brain when you wrote that did you?

They seem to care enough to run around screaming "wee wee wee Piracy!" and throw takedowns and lawsuits everywhere.
But if you want to be a goody two shoes who picks up every gum wrapper you see off the sidewalk, nobody's stoping you.

So how many times do you want to buy Super Mario Bros. 1? Just asking.
