Based on what I know of the Switch homebrew scene, I cannot fathom how this would work. Any ideas?
It appears it cannot run unsigned code, as it doesn't have a menu. This is probably similar to the Sky3DS. It behaves like a real cartridge, so it would only run pirated cartridges. No DLC or homebrew.
Don't cartridges have unique IDs though? They could just start disabling cartridges by ID and banning any accounts that run them.
So like how they tried and failed to stop Tengen back in the day with their unlicensed NES carts?
This is precisely why everyone is so skeptical of it.
