Source: Nintendo's solution to Switch bootROM hardware exploit has been cracked
During the course of this week, Nintendo released System Update 6.2.0 for the Switch although the changelog for the update was simply listed as being "general system stability improvements to enhance the user's experience". While that in itself may sound somewhat innocuous, it soon became clear that the gaming stalwart had brought the hammer down on both homebrew and privacy by attempting to address a previously discovered flaw in the Nvidia Tegra bootROM. This was done by rebuilding the secure boot process.
In addition to mitigating against the hardware flaw, Nintendo also brought the practice of "CDN downloading" to an end, a method used to identify newly released games on the Nintendo eShop. In order to access the platform, everyone had to upgrade to System Update 6.2.0.
Of course, in any game of cat and mouse, many were waiting to see how long it would take Switch hackers to respond to the latest development.
Well it doesn't matter what you do, something is always going to be cracked.
