---Nintendo's flagship console hacked because of a flaw---

Problem in sight for Nintendo: its flagship Switch console, sold to millions of copies worldwide, has just been hacked by three small malignant, who even said how they proceeded. And it's the graphical chip signed Nvidia that is put in the dock.
Indeed, it has a flaw, which could be all the more exploited as Nvidia gives a lot of information on this graphics card, which the three hackers have ironically welcomed. But for Nintendo, this is not a very good deal, nor for the games offered for the Switch.
Indeed, with this piracy, it is quite possible to install the games you want, as well as applications. However, not everything is perfect, since those who decide to rush into the breach of our three hackers will be forced to play on firmware version 3.0.

And if you decide to hack your Nintendo Switch, it also ends your Switch warranty. All this is done at your own risk. As for the three hackers, they quietly want to improve their device, through the creation of a new Homebrew, device that allows the launch of external games.
And in the meantime, under the name "Switchbrew", our three friends have published a kind of library on GitHub, which gives access to a very important set of games. Note however that it is not yet optimized, since there is no audio support yet.
This is not the first time that the Nintendo Switch is hacked, since it had already been the case since its release in March. It remains to know what will be the reaction of Nintendo and if the Japanese manufacturer will find the parade.
