We announced it to you several weeks ago, the Nintendo Switch had shown its first security flaws and offered a gateway to hackers of all kinds. Following this announcement, we discover today that Nintendo’s hybrid console gives the opportunity to run many emulators to launch games from old consoles.
- Snes9x 2010 (SNES)
- Snes9x (SNES)
- FCEUMM (NES)
- Virtual Jaguar (Jaguar)
- VBA Next (GB, GBC, GBA)
- Picodrive (Genesis, MegaDrive, Master System, 32x, Sega CD)
- Handy (Atari Lynx)
- Yabause (Saturn) (Slow)
- FBA Alpha (Slow)
Luckily for the manufacturer, this hack is only compatible with version 3.00 of the machine’s firmware and many players will therefore not be able to access this modification. But more worrying for Nintendo, Team Xecuter announces the upcoming arrival of a chip that would bypass any firmware on the machine. To make matters worse, the members of the fail0verflow team are teasing the arrival of their homemade hack via a Tweet.

One thing is certain, the latest Nintendo seems struggling in the face of repeated attacks from hackers of all stripes and its security seems to be undermined. We also remind you that modifying your console to launch games acquired illegally is an offense punishable by law.
