Looks more like they interfaced the display and nothing else.

I thought that too at first but then they showed a custom boot screen on a closed system. Seems like they really did it.

Good news for everyone else, bad news for Nintendo. Kind of hope it doesn't get hacked too quickly because it will then go the route of PSP.

Running Linux =/= running pirated games.

If you want an interesting story of just how much the homebrew hackers (the people doing this) don't like pirating kids, read about the Xbox hacks. They were initially designed to just run Linux.

It also says in the text that the architecture is ARM64, and there's 4 penguins. The Nvidia Tegra X1 is a quad core CPU, and Linux will display a penguin for each logical CPU during bootup.

But this proves you can inject software in its closed platform. Programming a dashboard with a booter/loader will be the next step.

Why not just run it on a fucking computer?

It’s fun to play emulated games on the go!

fail0verflow is known for mostly just showing off that they have exploits instead of actually releasing them. At least some other guy called plutoo is supposed to be releasing a homebrew launcher for 3.0.0 consoles in about two days.
