Security researcher Sammy Hajhamid, better known as pepsipu, reportedly paired OpenAI Codex with a setup that fed inputs to Switch 2 hardware, monitored the display, and rebooted the system after crashes. The demo gives a clear look at where AI tools can help with the tedious parts of exploit work<\/strong>: logging faults, checking memory behavior, refining payloads, and narrowing down where a vulnerability actually sits.<\/p>\n\n

The catch is that the setup comes with real limits<\/strong>. It depends on SmileBASIC 4, a backward-compatible original Nintendo Switch app, along with extra equipment, access to the app, and firmware that still supports it, so this isn\u2019t a one-click jailbreak for every Nintendo Switch 2 owner.<\/p>\n\n

Still, if you follow console security, this one is hard to ignore. A Mario Kart World<\/a> demo swapped in Peter Griffin and Cinnamoroll, and that same access can also enable homebrew<\/strong>, file access, and game dumping.<\/p>\n\n

Nintendo has reportedly pulled SmileBASIC 4 from the Nintendo eShop. Sony keeps patching PlayStation 5 (PS5) holes, and Microsoft is facing a faster cycle too, since the same tooling also speeds up decompilation<\/strong>, unofficial ports, and cross-platform mashups.<\/p>\n\n

For now, this only works on certain Nintendo Switch 2 setups. Researchers are still doing the hard part, but the barrier to entry is dropping<\/strong> and iteration is getting faster.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
