Yeah but, the modchip scene is different now with people building boards that can reliably perform boot time glitch exploits, at least for some systems.
Voltage glitching is also a pretty common ~~first~~ early step in developing a more easily reproducible exploit chain since it often allows dumping bootloader images for analysis etc.
