There is some progress on a app launcher from sd card. Smile

from gbatemp:

Atmosphere can now load HBL on all FW and Fusee to boot into OS soon*

The development of Atmosphere (CFW) is moving along at lightspeed. SciresM has posted a video showing the ability to redirect any launch request to the SD card. This means any app can be launched from the SD card instead of the intended one in the OS, allowing us to launch the HB launcher or other apps effortlessly. Although Atmosphere can't boot yet this functionlality should be possible within 1-2 weeks.

once backup games can be played from SD card, I will purchase a Switch.. This will go well with my modded Wii and the soft-modded Wii-U..I need to play the new Rampage game..not the 1980's version on the Wii.

I wouldnt wait if you're going for it anyway. It's happening and that seems to be a fact. The only issue is stores restocking switches with new and "improved" switch versions where this can't be done.

I always avoided all portable consoles because games just cost 50/60$ as normally but i never treat is as "real full" games. Just a handheld console Razz

Waiting for isodemo possibility on switch. Then it would be quite worth it.

Sorry but you couldn't be more wrong.

First of all 3DS games are $30 / $40 not $50/$60.

2nd of all, the Nintendo Switch is a full fledge console, not a handheld, it both has $20 games and $60 AAA games. Just like you can find $5 games on Steam, the eShop also has small craps.

You would probably spend more time trying to complete a game like Donkey Kong Country TF or Zelda BOTW than any of the Gears of War game that you pay also for $60.

3rd of all : the only thing that sucks with NSW game prices are the fact that some games are Wii U ports and sold the same price if not worse (DKC TF is $60 on NSW and was $50 on Wii U !!!!!).

So yeah, it's nice to be able to pirate these because I would love to be able to play again DKC TF on the go or in 1080p but no way I'm spending $60 on this, when I spent $50 4 years ago !

I was about to post that myself. I remember posting on herd last year saying that the first Switch games had been dumped and then with all the progress just lately, I went to find them and struggled with a lot of them.

there won't be a revision till late this year.
But access will be the same.

This may go the ds route.
Hardware sales will skyrocket.
Software sales will dip a little.

@WaldoJ : Yep just a little.

I don't think it's that much of a hard time for Nintendo.
Most people who wanted the Switch got it already and bought their games. Then some will pirate them, but for sure not everyone.

Also they will launch their online services so some people won't pirate just to be safe.

I think the only bad thing out of this is that some 3rd party will threaten Nintendo to drop support, a la Ubisoft "we don't do PC games or use DRM because of piracy".

See how the Wii U failed ? Thankfully it wasn't pirated until it was dead, else people would have blamed piracy. Like the Dreamcast and PSP

You'll have to short 2 pins from the right rail or joycon directly. You don't need to take it a part to access the pins. I shorted them with a paperclip.

You are right, the piracy argument is only valid on PC.

I forgot on PS360 we usually get the "piracy doesn't exist on console" for some reason Laughing

Eeeeh not quite. The PSP and DS suffered quite a lot from piracy. With the DS, the cards were dirt cheap and everyone I knew who had a DS, had such a card. With the PSP, half the ones sold on eBay were hacked at the time.

Also, the Amiga never went down due to piracy - the system was a success in Europe and the A500 lasted SEVEN years before the PC took over. Since Amiga didn't get a cut from software sales, piracy only boosted sales of Amigas and the Amiga as home to some really famous software studios who moved to PC after the A1200 pretty much failed and the PC turned out to be way more powerful and impressive.

I doubt Switch will go down due to piracy since a lot of games have multiplayer that requires Nintendo online thing, and if they can detect modding and ban the account, that will prevent that part.

I'm debating now if I want to get a 2nd Switch to mod Very Happy


My specs:
Ryzen 5950x @ boosting 5ghz, Gigabyte x570 Aorus Master, 128gb G.Skill Trident Neo pc3600 ram, nVidia RTX 5080, SoundBlasterX G6, Samsung 980 Pro m.2 1TB and Hynix m.2 1TB storage SSD. Custom watercooling loop.

It won't be its downfall.

I might pick up a second switch once cfw is done.
Even if revisions are out by then, better hardware for primary and older switch for modding \o/
Best bet right now if you own a switch, want one for modding, wait for pricing to drop, revised system with a bit more features and use that as a primary. There'll be a price drop this year.

Nintendo doesn't need a boost in Switch sales, they are already doing real fine.

Piracy isn't gonna be something to be happy about for them, but it won't bring them down, that's for sure.

Doubt nintendo is going to release any big titles for the switch anymore anyway.

They've been working on a switch successor since switch was of to production.
That's not news. They won't announce a new console at least 3 years in.
They may announce a revision, more features, or less features, or cheaper just dock version w/o the handheld bit. But a new console won't make it into the scene until at least 2020.
And given that 4k HDR is meant to be standard by 2020, it may be a 4k console.

I agree with the crowd here, given the success of the switch there will be a hardware revision, maybe a dock only version or a bigger screen and thinner unit. Piracy ain’t gonna hurt nintendo’s Massive stockpile of cash Smile

Then again, there is no piracy yet COMEON!!!!
