This info is being discussed in the Future Hardware OT, and keeps cropping up and repeated in the main OT, I thought it might be useful to drop a "for anyone" list of the info here.
What Happened???
NVidia got hit with a cyber attack. The group responsible appears to be LAPSUS$, who have gone public with some details to ransom money out of NVidia.
Wild! How is this Nintendo related?
First off, let's make it clear that this is a Very Bad Thing. Employee private details are included in the leak. No linking to bad actors here, okay? We're just summing up public details for simplicity's sake
Okay, that's fair... but Nintendo?
A list of leaked files was published by TechPowerUp. That list includes:
Uhh, I still don't know what that means Explain Like I'm Five?
Switch Pro confirmed?
No, not exactly. This just says that NVidia is working on a New Nintendo hardware, and it happens to use NVidia's recent-ish tech. That's unsurprising
But what about the Bloomberg report a while back? Or other rumors?
Yes, this leak is 100% consistent with all those rumors and leaks of a 4k Switch Pro. It just doesn't absolutely confirm it. To use George Carlin's phrase "it's suggestive as hell"
Can you link me to stuff?
Sure

- An NVN2 folder
- What appears to be an NVNDLSS Driver
Uhh, I still don't know what that means Explain Like I'm Five?
- NVN is the API that Switch programs are written against. It is developed by NVidia for Nintendo
- DLSS is a NVidia specific high resolution/AI Upscaling tech
- DLSS requires hardware not in the Switch
- A NVN2 folder, and a DLSS driver suggest a DLSS Nintendo device that is pretty far along in development
Switch Pro confirmed?

NVIDIA DLSS Source Code Leaked
The mother of all cyberattacks hit NVIDIA over the weekend, putting out critical driver source-code, the ability to disable LHR for mining, and even insights into future NVIDIA hardware, such as the Blackwell architecture. An anonymous tipster sent us this screenshot showing a list of files they...
