ns2jb: the first software unlock for the Switch 2
ns2jb is a proof of concept by developer pepsipu that runs custom code on the Switch 2 using a flaw in SmileBASIC 4, on firmware version 23.0.1. It is "tethered": the effect disappears when the console restarts. It runs only at user level, with no kernel access and no CFW (modified system). It is still research and there is a risk of bricking the console, so there is no safe recommended method.
