Hacking Switch GameShare

Hi everyone!! This is gonna be very rushed because I just got the idea fresh on my mind and I don't have the time to write a full blog post, but I swear it'll be worth it.

So, the most recent Switch update included a new GameShare feature, intended on connecting the soon-to-be Switch 2 with the Switch 1. I heard that they recently patched a critical system bug caused by GameShare in update 20.0.0. This has me wondering—if that bug was there, what other bugs are there?

GameShare sounds like a jackpot to me. It's literally just wirelessly executing code on a Switch. Very recent update, there's bound to be glitches.

Now, I wouldn't be surprised if this GameShare feature had encryption or some other key. But I bet you that Switch modders will persevere and find a way to get around that, just like how 3DS modders, Wii U modders, and Wii modders got around other blocks. Once the key is found or something, you can basically just execute code.

Doesn't matter the system model you're on, what region you are in, or anything else. Once you've got the key, you can execute code, and now mod your Switch. It sounds pretty simple to me.

Let me know (in these comments) if this is possible, and remember to let yourself know to tune in to the CheeseBlog for more tech related posts. Cya!
