Dear Reader:
RUMOR - Hacker finds some sort of 'Test VR' mode on Switch
I was recently helping @Simon1844 with something, and I had to look at the AM services documentation. I noticed ICommonStateGetter::SetVrModeEnabled(bool), which was discovered around this time last year. Has anyone actually tried calling it...?

So I just tried and a screen appeared. Interesting... pic.twitter.com/MLiKfYpokb
Also its really a different rendering mode because when something is drawn, it'll happear on the two parts of the screen. Example : https://t.co/WctYzTzRlk

Is this the case of a couple homebrewers trying to pull the wool over our eyes, or is this something to get excited about? As you can see in the Twitter exchange above, it looks like some sort of pseudo VR mode has been implemented on the Switch. Apparently this is tucked away within the Switch itself. That's what we're supposed to believe, anyway. With these two being involved in homebrew, I'm not sure if I trust them. What do you guys think? Are these two cooking up their own thing and trying to fool everyone, or was this really discovered in the Switch firmware?
