I hope someone can get the Zelda OOT remake running on PC.
First the Switch 2 would need to get hacked so that the game could be dumped and the Switch 2 could be better understood.
Well I got news for you..
So I heard. A userland exploit is definitely a good start, but it is not a complete exploit chain quite yet. There still needs to be a kernel exploit, and if the Switch 2 runs on top of a hypervisor system like the PS5 and Xbox consoles (since the 360), a hypervisor exploit.
Right now, this exploit gives access to a limited sandbox, but still allows for execution of code, albeit in a limited scope, which can still aid in understanding the console better.
Oh I agree. Its a start to greatness though. As much as we all hate AI it will further the cracking of the switch 2.
Yes, although it has also been leading to early public disclosure of exploits. For example, the PS5 exploit could have waited a few weeks for GTA VI to come out, and this exploit could have waited a couple of weeks for the OoT remake to come out. I think there are people who are essentially acting as AI scriptkiddies who aren't really working within the hacking communities who are trying to make a name for themselves and end up making lives more difficult in the long run for people who want to hack consoles.
Correct. Lots of scriptkiddies out there. And we have seen cases where professional hacks have quite the scene. IE thefl0w over ps5 Linux.
Ship of Harkinian is kinda a pc port of OOT, I tried it and can say its better then an emulator. Plus, it predates AI agents, so its handcoded.
Ship does make significant use of generative AI.
Same, I want to play it too, but not enough to buy a switch 2. The new Fire Emblem also look good.
They might but it'll probubbly be done with some use of AI, it seems the only thing capable of pushing through these barrier the gaming company's have put up
It's not so much that there's intentional barriers as much as it is that there's a bunch of trial and error work to do to recompile a binary for a different OS potentially running on a different CPU architecture with different audio hardware and different graphics and...
AI can even keep going at it while you're asleep.
