Million dollar question. Anyone know about the inner workings of the various Switch modchips that allow homebrew on newer consoles with RCM exploit patched?

Last I heard, it was doing some power glitching to bypass/nop-out some signature check or some such. There aren't much details in the public, but a very similar hack is publicly documented for the vita: https://arxiv.org/pdf/1903.08102.pdf .
To be more specific: they use voltage glitching during the BOOT0 signature check.
