OpenAI Codex aids first Nintendo Switch 2 jailbreak

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

A developer known as pepsipu has successfully created the first software jailbreak for the Nintendo Switch 2, utilizing OpenAI Codex to identify vulnerabilities. This jailbreak allows for the execution of custom software (homebrew) and modification of game saves and in-game content, as demonstrated by changes made to Mario Kart World. While not a full system hack, as it requires re-application after each reboot and does not grant kernel access, it represents a significant step for the homebrew community and highlights the growing role of AI in discovering software exploits.
