Nintendo’s new Switch 2 has been out for only a couple of days as of writing, but modders have wasted no time poking around under the hood. On June 5, developer and security researcher David Buchanan (@retr0_id on Bluesky) shared footage of a successful framebuffer graphics demo running on the console through a userland Return-Oriented Programming (ROP) exploit. For reference, it's a technique that doesn't involve native code execution, but still manages to draw graphics directly to the screen. In this context, "userland" (or "user space") refers to code that runs outside the kernel, meaning it doesn’t have full system privileges or direct hardware access.

"This has no practical purpose and I can’t prove I’m not just like, playing a YouTube video or something," Buchanan joked. However, fellow devs and modders were also quick to confirm its legitimacy - and to express concern that Nintendo will likely patch this quickly, making it viable only on early production units.

Obviously this doesn’t mean much for now. But it’s cool to see that people are already beginning to tinker with the system.

I love SummoningSalt lol. Surprisingly long videos for a sorta niche topic

AFAIK it’s a PvE game that utilizes the same mechanics as the battle royale game, but otherwise is mostly separate. I think if you purchase it you get a bunch of XP for Fortnite BR by playing it each season though

Spiderman: Miles Morales has been on my wish list for a long time. Been excited to play it ever since beating the first one!

It’s good to see giveaways like this coming to Lemmy. Always commented on the ones on Reddit but have yet to get lucky. Nice to see them around though!

One of the best campaigns I’ve played in a while, if a little short

Wild that every command uses pre-existing html tags. Took me a bit to notice that

Hmm I say black. Definitely up to your preference too though

What color is your desk/monitors? All black would be super sleek, all white would be super clean

A little late here but basically this post isn’t a screenshot, it’s showing a feature a lot of people loved from Apollo which is the ability to long press on comment(s) and render them as an image for sharing to other apps and stuff

Playnite is sick. I’ve spent a ton of hours writing my own themes to customize it and set up categories for all of my games. And by that point I don’t even want to play the game I opened it for anymore lol
