- Sammy Hajhamid, aka “pepsipu,” says OpenAI’s Codex helped make the “ns2jb” jailbreak.
- ns2jb is a software-only, tethered jailbreak that must be run from a game every time the Nintendo Switch 2 is turned on.
- SmileBASIC 4 is identified as required for the exploit, although another modder says the game is “not strictly needed.”
- Mario Kart World ran in a custom version featuring new playable characters including Cinnamoroll, the red Angry Bird, Peter Griffin and Steve from Minecraft.
- The Nintendo Switch 2 jailbreak remains extremely complex for most people, while subreddit users debate its significance and its full impact is not yet clear.
Why it matters: For Switch 2 modders, the tangible gain is a customized Mario Kart World with four showcased playable characters. The catch is persistence: ns2jb must be launched from a game after every power-on, while the process remains extremely complex and the jailbreak’s full impact is unclear.
