>>14907042

went ahead and bought one of these just in case I fucked my shit up even though it's rather simple. Still haven't been motivated to bother with modding my switch. I at least want there to be a bunch of stable emulators ready, let alone piracy

<corrupting one byte is not recommended

<NAND backups

lmao

>>14907084

I feel like before we never had a real need for them yet but homebrew is really starting to ramp up now with CFW on the horizon

>>14907088

RetroArch is available so you already have a handful of working emulators. Currently no hack is "permanent" without the AutoRCM method

>>14907094

You are more than welcome to go right ahead and install it my friend. But if you fuck up the system partition without a backup there's no going back. There is no other way to un-brick your device save for taking it to Nintendo. I would seriously wait for more polished methods

>>14907123

You'd be surprised how many locks can be broken into just by "raking" the lock cylinder. BosnianBill has taught me to never buy a Masterlock again

>>14907159

It still baffles me that the CEMU devs are such cocksuckers that they still force you to use NNID-related files from a physical WiiU just to play online on CEMU and have no interest in making private servers a reality

ok anons I'm a faggot, on retroarch on the switch can you enable achievements and link your retroachievements account?

yes i suck cock

>>14907177

I didn't even know achievements were a thing on Retroarch. How does that even work when everyone is emulating on wildly different hardware and software configs? Wouldn't it be easy to cheese that somehow?

>>14907185

you probably can cheese it easily, but the achievements have two types, regular and hardcore. Hardcore disables rewind, savestates and other things. So even with perfect emulation you can't get the real set of achievements without hardcore enabled.

>>14907169

it's because they can't think of a way to subvert it because they are just using documentation on the system to program the emulator.

So if I use the clip to boot into a CFW and play pirated singleplayer, can I just boot normally back into the standard FW without it being traceable?

>>14906992

You cant downgrade at all, they burn fuses with every update that get checked by horizon at boot. I am looking forward to hax though, got my cable and sd card.

>>14908210

The SDK they stole?

Apparently hardmodding desyncs the clock from the battery and there's currently no way to fix it besides opening up the switch. Should be mentioned in the OP

>>14907042

Do they offer the schematics? I got a friend with a 3D printer.

>>14908716

That's only if you boot Linux

>>14908906

Who still uses a CRT as their only display in 2018? I get owning one for older consoles but the majority of homes these days have at least one display with HDMI input

>>14908716

This is only when you boot into GNU/Linux. Someone just needs to fix power management.

I think you're in the wrong thread for that famalam. Try Final Fantasy IX and/or Ace Combat 3 (translated japanese version, US release majorly sucks in comparison)

>>14908906

Are there no adapters out there for this? How have people been doing shit like playing Fallout 4 on old 50s TVs then?

>>14908960

LGR did a video on this actually

>>14908960

>Are there no adapters out there for this?

without even looking it up, I'm going to say yes. HOWEVER, I'm guessing they would introduce some sort of lag that would piss me off to no end. Even the official Gamecube Component cables introduced input lag (it has a digital to analogue chip inside the cord if I remember right)

If you can point me to an adapter that's almost lag free, then problem solved.

>>14908960

>How have people been doing shit like playing Fallout 4 on old 50s TVs then?

My guess? By using really laggy adapters for youtube clickbait bucks.

>>14908968

Wait that was the wrong video

>>14908429

Currently all Homebrew is "tethered" which means you're not making any modifications to SYSNAND (Unless you install AutoRCM) and all changes are reverted upon restart since the payload is just patching RAM. That said, the possibility Nintendo can fuck your shit up is still there since you're still running on internal firmware. Ideally we would have EMUNAND like with the 3DS where we can just boot a NAND dump over the SD Card without touching the internal OS but as far as I can tell there's nothing coming as of yet

>>14907159

>Wiimmfi

It's a pity they never did this for the 3ds. Maybe the switch cpu will make this a reality, though.

>>14908960

Good DACs are expensive, anything below $50 or so is going to have horrendous latency (upwards of half a second) and probably also really awful image quality.

>>14909153

I don't think the problem is DACs, but that you can't send native 480i over HDMI.

Is it possible to install linux on switch without linux installed on pc?

>>14909288

Yes, there is a Windows script available

>>14910587

Quit posting fuckable things.

PIRACY FUCKING WHEN

>>14911168

Xecuter SX OS is a custom firmware currently in development that has planned backup support (ie free games)

However, the problem is that it requires you to purchase a 30 dollar USB-C dongle from them. The OS itself will likely have a form of DRM that will prevent using just any PC as a device to deliver the RCM payload to boot into it. We will have to wait for someone to come up with a solution for Atmosphere CFW or for someone to crack SX OS

>>14911363

Shit like RxTools and EMUNAND was great in the early days of 3DS mods when it was still wild West territory. People just hung onto it for too fucking long while better shit came out like B9S/A9LH. I cringe at the thought that there's a possibility someone somewhere is still using RxTools in 2018

Regardless its likely all early CFW will be in the form of EMUNAND until we can get sysnand flashing and recovery to be stable and reliable

>>14910450

Some soyboys aren't self aware enough that not only nintendo fags can be soyboys.

How's the Switch for a cheap Linux tablet?

>>14911374

I know it had its place but that was from the A9LH period, when people were refusing to switch to it. Even Gateway had a place, but I'm not buying into any more proprietary hacks because of DRM like that. They also tend to be coded badly.

>>14911714

Also asking out of curiosity.

>>14911714

>>14911725

It has full hardware acceleration support, can run Ubuntu or Arch, and the console itself has a built-in fan so that alone makes it superior to most Linux tablets that are just cheap Android shot

However, it has no audio support at the moment, and the battery tends to de-sync from firmware and break calibration. The only fix is to unplug and plug back in the battery which requires a disassembly OR to simply let the battery die all the way and then charge it back up

>>14911714

kind of okay, shutting down isn't (((graceful))) last time i checked for arch linux

>>14911746

I'll keep an eye on it as a possibly more flexible way to run some games. Homebrew ports are sometimes crap.

I don't even own a switch but I'm curious how's retroarch emulators' performance? Any of them work smoothly?

Just a quick FYI, someone just made an "official" Homebrew guide in the same vein as 3ds.guide

https://t3chnolog1c.github.io/SwitchGuide/

>>14916666

Archive doesn't help if nothing useful's there yet, Mega Satan

>>14906992

>>14916722

>I bought a TX dongle lol

You're being a Jew-enabler please stop this

>>14911346

I believe people asked the creators of xecutor to allow for different custom payloads, and the developers said yes to it. I saw it mentioned in a YouTube video but I'm mobile cancer right now.

>>14916767

Too late friend.

>>14916790

They did, they're not launching it with a cart dumper though which is a pain in the ass.

also, for people looking for .xci files go here:

https://t.me/switchroms

they're not sorted by BBB release but by the order they go into the no-intro DAT, here: https://datomatic.no-intro.org/

>>14916790

SX OS will likely be locked to their own dongle meaning unless you bought it you can't use just any PC to boot into it. The ability for the dongle itself to boot custom payloads is not the same as anyone having the ability to load their own payload. You got Jew'd

>>14916767

ironic, this jew hurts the japanese jew

>>14916709

this is nice

>>14916838

the dongle is only used to send a payload, it comes with a jig like anything else so you can run whatever you want with it. They're selling licenses for their fw (hilarious) but I think if you get the dongle it's tied to that. Dongle is more convenient anyways, though.

>>14916842

>the dongle is only used to send a payload,

Exactly, normally to send a payload to a Switch in RCM mode you just send it over USB. It's not unreasonable to assume their dongle will likely act as a "key" to boot into their own payload. Or rather, its not unreasonable to assume SX OS will look for the dongle on the USB-C port that will have its own firmware before it decides to boot

>>14916853

You don't do any nand modding unless you set up autoRCM which is the same implementation that's already out in the wild. The TX CFW will be tied to the dongle but you can load any payload you want. They said this themselves, somewhere.

>>14916854

>he TX CFW will be tied to the dongle but you can load any payload you want.

That's literally what I'm saying. Pay fucking attention. TX OS being tied to the dongle is exactly my problem with it. Not wither or not it can load other payloads

>>14916854

TX has been around a lot longer than Gateway ever was, they've been making products for Xbox for 20 years so it does them no good to piss away their goodwill when they're trying to break into selling modchips for the switch. I can understand the paranoia after the gateway stuff (though you speds are still sperging out about b9s as well), but this is a bit of a different case.

>>14916858

Why do you care? It will get cracked upon release near immediately, I'm sure. If you're not buying one, I don't know why you're beating yourself off so hard about how bad you think it is.

>>14916870

I'm just throwing it back at you, for some reason you're being real pissy about something you disagree with and expecting me not to throw it back at you. I'm excited to see what atmosphere brings down the line but it's going to be a while seeing as as it turns out making your CFW public ahead of time only means you get help from 2 other people that weren't in your group already while a bunch of kids sit around and ask you for help running it before it's even done. I applaud you for your waiting game.

>>14916834

Thank you

>>14916920

not a problem. If you're looking for DKC:TF it hasn't made it in there yet, so here's a torrent, should be at least a few seeds (myself included).

I was letting it go and then you decided to double down yourself friend.

>>14916968

Alright man, I'll quit shitting up your thread.

Anyhow, it's a pain in the ass to juggle through all these shitty warez sites trying to get GDrive but it's more consistent. The telegram thing is good to track because it just sends you notifications when they put one up, it seems to have a weird download cap though. Freeshop was lightning in a bottle, you have to send your console ID now to pull any data from the eShop and that's the only recorded bans coming out so far because the devs have been grabbing w/ pcs to test out stuff and getting their console IDs banned.

FYI, if you don't have JDownloader already I recommend it, for GDrive links it handles them really well and I get probably 23 MB/s down that way. https://board.jdownloader.org/showthread.php?t=54725

I wish there were more torrents but for some reason there are never many console torrents. I'm a little wary of these Scene dumps coming out the gate because the cart copies have certs packed in as well and it's anyone's guess how well Nintendo will detect that - I'll stay away from online til I hear more about it but either way I'm just glad I can even dump my personal carts so I don't have to keep up with them.

>>14916976

Also, remember to check your rom hashes against No-Intro's DB to make sure they're not corrupted. For trimming, the XCI Cutter tool is floating around but it takes forever do do because it makes copies of the game when you ask it to trim. Use XCI Explorer (which you can use to get at the files anyways) to trim, couple seconds instead of a few minutes per game and if you ever need to you can un-trim it with the XCI Cutter tool.

>>14916976

>FYI, if you don't have JDownloader already I recommend it, for GDrive links it handles them really well and I get probably 23 MB/s down that way.

JDownloader is basically essential when dealing with Gdrive because Gdrive for some reason fails at zipping more than 3 .rar files at a time if they're too big (and many Switch .xci files are split up into multiple .rar files)

>>14916984

I came in here to stir the pot telling people I bought a dongle anyways so I got my rocks off for the evening. We're all here for the same things. I'm really wanting to play with SNES9X more than anything at this point, but I don't want to bridge the pins on my right joy con because if you accidentally bridge 8 and 10 it bricks your switch

>>14916989

All those sites handle zipping files like total dogshit, mega included.

>>14917011

I think it's only a problem with pin 8, you can ground with anything you want though. I was going to do it from the inside so that it's convenient (and easy enough to do), but those pins are awful close so I think I'm just going to wait and use the jig that comes with the thing.

>>14916976

Download speed cap, I should say, not download cap.

here's a GDrive collection, but it's on one of those shitty warez sites so you need to make an account to like the post first (I'm assuming this is what >>14916968 were using in the first place since this is about the only place I've managed to nail these down so far).

>>14917019

>>14917011

I looked it up, and frankly, the ONLY story I can find on this happening is a single post on Reddit.

Looking at the Joycon pinout, this is all I could find

Pin 10 is the flow control, and is always HOT (in GPIO terms HOT means 3.3v) it has to always be HOT, because shorting it to ground puts it in LOW (0v) which triggers the internal home press

Pin 8 is the Serial interface and it is by default Idle or "neutral" (1.8v) But that shouldn't matter because it has to be HOT to send signals so shorting pin 10 to pin 8 would just put pin 8 in HOT. This shouldn't do anything, and even if it did, all that could possibly happen is the right joycon serial interface would be fried and nothing else (which is impossible because pin 8 and 10 are actually in parallel),. Which means Joycon charging and Joycon in wireless mode would still work perfectly fine.

I'm not an expert by any means on this but I think that Redditor was fucking a lot of shit up

>>14917767

noted, I might still go do that for convenience but I'm going to poke around a little more before I do it. Not sure if I trust myself to rig up an smd resistor in between two other pins, 9-10 seems real easy because you can just blob it up and put the thing back together.

Is there any way for them to detect this shit running and blam my Switch from online? Its pretty much a Splatoon machine atm, but if I could play Megaman Zero with Retroarch on this fucker it will be the one true handheld.

So is latest firmware bad? Sure all current switches can be hacked, but for convenience or whatever. Is there or will there be a way to hack without causing potential physical damage?

Once you're done downloading everything, could you make a torrent of it all?

4.1 here, I want to get a update for a game for Xenoblade Chronicles 2 so I can have Jap voices but I don't want to update switch. is it possible?

>>14921015

No, that's the point.

>>14920064

>>14921015

The only Switch version with softmod/webkit hack is 3.00, People on 1.00 and 2.00 must update to 3.00, people on 3.01 and higher need to use the short method. So if you're on 3.01 or higher you might as well just be using the latest version. If you're really not sure you can use the joycon hack on your current version and then make a NAND dump for the possibility to downgrade later down the road but currently it is not possible to downgrade between major software versions (only minor) because of the Nvidia fuse driver.

>>14921120

Um what? that does not answer anything what I said.

>>14921015

You can't download shit without being on the latest firmware. Enjoy your Eurocuck accents and oddly sexual "meh, meh, meh"s.

>>14921231

You can't do it and the reason is that they want you to update to the latest version.

Why can't we just crack it? It can't be that hard, it's not like it's made by a huge company intentionally to be hard to crack (like, say, the Swtich).

>>14921136

To be fair, I think up to 4.1 there might be a future warmboot exploit which will eventually mean you don't have to short.

>>14907042

Question, could you just get a straightened paperclip, hold it to 10, and use yourself as a ground if you really wanted to? As long as you have steady hands and a good eye that sounds like it would be fine.

>>14921426

Anon you're finding sticking a paperclip into the switch's hidden connection pin in order to homebrew it lewd?

I never bothered installing CFW since I bought a gateway years before it was a thing, and by the time it came out I was just tired of the 3DS' uncomfortable form factor.

>>14921634

I've got one too because yeah, it was the only option, and wasn't too invasive to my PC. The 3DS in question is bricked, though I've also been unable to use ntrhax on it so it's probably something unrelated. Apparently that works even with blue-screen-of-death bricks.

Has someone installed gentoo on the switch yet? Do it and post your config for us all. I might consider getting a switch if the battery life is ok and depending on the proccessor arch. What is the CPU and GPU in the switch or better yet hardware specs.

>>14921844

>or better yet hardware specs.

those will never be released. the switch in a piece of hardware shrouded in mystery where its private knowledge what it is made of

>>14921851

If someone has installed linux on the switch it is as easy as running the commands

>lspci

>lsusb

>glxinfo

>cat /proc/cpuinfo

And posting the output here for all to see. Ubuntu and arch amongst other distros have all those commands by default.

>>14921864

I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you’re referring to as Linux, is in fact, GNU/Linux, or as I’ve recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux. Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX.

Many computer users run a modified version of the GNU system every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of GNU which is widely used today is often called “Linux”, and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the GNU system, developed by the GNU Project. There really is a Linux, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the system they use.

Linux is the kernel: the program in the system that allocates the machine’s resources to the other programs that you run. The kernel is an essential part of an operating system, but useless by itself; it can only function in the context of a complete operating system. Linux is normally used in combination with the GNU operating system: the whole system is basically GNU with Linux added, or GNU/Linux. All the so-called “Linux” distributions are really distributions of GNU/Linux.

It's an Nvidia Tegra X1, the same as in the shield tv.

>>14921928

Might as well use Android/Linux tbh

>>14921928

Although the tegra X1 supports nouveau and gets VP9 and mpeg hardware decoding/encoding. This would make a amazing emulator machine and a awesome video/porn viewer on the go. What's the battery life?

>>14921938

Android uses bioniC/toolkit from jewgle userland which is fucking botnet. Atleast with busybox/muslC you are free from jewgle and GNU. And if you are worried about speed/security/battery life and not backwards compatibility with glibC, then muslC is the best.

>>14906992

>note; it is currently possible to enable "AutoRCM" which means you no longer need the short method, your Switch will boot into AutoRCM every time you boot up and will look for a payload over USB. BECAUSE WE CURRENTLY HAVE NO THOROUGHLY TESTED METHOD OF RESTORING BACKUP NAND DUMPS

If they have full hardware access to the switch, why not just use dd and make a disk image of the nand via /dev/sd* in linux? It's as simple as going

>dd if=/dev/sd* of=/mnt/myUSBdrive/NAND.img

and replacing /dev/sd* with the location of the nand flash exposed as a hardware device file. If it doesn't show up under /dev/ then just use

>lspci

>lsusb

To find the hardware device ID of the NAND device and figure out what kernel driver works with it. Or manually create the /dev/ entry if it already has a kernel module loaded. You will have to google how make a static /dev/ entry though.

>>14921375

People have been able to do that yeah. What I do is just take a piece of tinfoil and a piece of cardboard to press one end of the foil against pin 10 on one side, then press the other end on the center screw of the joycon rail

>>14923140

Don't do homebrew shit, turned on my 3DS and went to go work on lewd flipnotes couldn't launch the application and had to update

Also, apparently some sellers already have the SX Pro in stock, so now we have to wait for someone to crack their license

Since it's been nearly a day and nobody here has noticed, there's an .xci dumper publicly available now: https://gbatemp.net/threads/xci-dumper.506700/

>>14926003

has the same issue as gateway tho

we're all sharing the same cert, meaning ninty can easily see us for the pirates we are & ban.

a work around for this is not playing online with these games, right?

>>14926049

>>14926003

Yeah, dumped .xci ROMs will have your specific console cert attached to it, meaning you can;t share it without Nintendo finding out

Scene ROMs have the certs cleared out though. And there IS a .xci scrubber out there but I'm not sure if it clears the certs yet.

>>14926074

>>14926049

Wouldn't a game without a cert be just as suspicious? .xci are like .3ds right? I'll wait for the .cia equivalent before I let my Switch online.

>>14926147

>.xci are like .3ds right? I'll wait for the .cia equivalent before I let my Switch online.

That's a good point actually. I'd wait a bit longer as well. But Otherwise I would assume your console would fill in the blank space where a cert would be with your own at install-time

>>14926164

It's certainly worth looking into. Not like I'd go online with my Switch for like a month anyway, I want to see if Nintendo banwaves anybody and why. Not to mention the only game I REALLY want to go online with would be Pokemon and that's not out until 2019. Has there been any progress on dumping DLC or updates yet?

>>14926208

>Has there been any progress on dumping DLC or updates yet?

Last I heard people actually got permabanned from online for trying to poke around Nintendo's CDN so Freeshop will certainly never be a thing. Other than that I don't know if anyone has been able to actually get downloaded software off of SYSNAND just yet

>>14926049

it comes with the cert from your specific cart when you dump it. You can clear this using XCI Explorer, or you can Export/Import it to other dumps. Gateway was similar, people would use headers from their own games on others to spoof certs. The only time anyone got banned was if one went public and two people were online with two different games sharing the same header.

>>14926240

Yeah, the CDN bans have been really vague, the only people who have been banned are people working on CFW (ironically they're fairly against piracy, enough to not have game installs as a feature but not enough to actively prevent it) and everybody else is too spooked to do it.

>>14926261

Question. Could you use one legit cert from a game you own, but use it for every game you pirate? I don't own any Switch games, but if that's all it would take and there's no better option I bet there will be something like 1 2 Switch in the bargain bin somewhere.

>>14926286

A lot of people did exactly that with gateway, yes. This time around, it's anyone's guess.

>>14926331

then it's time to try the age old method of waiting for other people to guinea pig themselves

There's no smileBASIC hacks are there?

I port games to that to take them with me. I don't want to lose my stuff either.

I hope they do just so smart people can rub it in the retards faces who payed for literally fucking nothing

>>14927795

It really doesn't take much to be smarter than someone willing to pay for piracy

We have the dumper, are we still waiting on a free installer?

>>14927857

Pretty much yeah, the current status is SX OS is confirmed to have a backup launcher, but its behind a paywall and we need to wait for it to be cracked/leaked, Atmosphere is not confirmed to have a backup launcher, but its free and open source. Both should be out and in peoples hands around the same time later this month

>>14928005

Atmosphere got set back because one of the main trannies dropped out after being harassed pretty much non-stop lol. I just hope they finish it before they all an hero.

>>14927723

I was indeed.

>>14928969

oh yeah, I remember that

can someone dump screemcaps

Never EVER pay for hacks, especially with better, long term hax right around the corner.

The Switch is NOT a 360, there is no use paying for software.

I just bought a switch with 4.1.0 I think.

I have no games for it though and I want to try out some free games on the eshop.

Should it be safe to update?

Because I heard that it would screw things up to update to 5.1.0.

>>14931462

Did you even read the op?

>>14935882

Source?

>>14935882

I think they took it down because the vagoo was still kind of showing. I was kind of amused 5/10

>>14931731

Stay on 4.1.0 for now. There are plenty of good games out already that'll last you a few months. Just put it in airplane mode and sit tight for Atmosphere and emuNAND.

>>14937290

>vagoo

>>14937290

>vagoo

I’ll admit you tricked me

>>14938839

Anyone got screen caps of this drama?

>>14937290

They actually took it down due to the tranny logo website, funny that.

Interesting bit of info I found regarding Atmosphere

>once layeredfs is implemented you could inject both exefs and romfs into an already installed title and then change the titleid in npdm to run a backup in place of a installed game.

Basically if you don't want to wait for anything that would actually install a game, you can load your pirated games like that. It's the most retarded and hacky way possible but hey.

>COOLEST MONKEY IN THE SPACE PROGRAM

>>14961806

Layeredfs itself is nothing new. It sounds like it'll be more convenient because most Switch titles are huge anyways so it would be a pain in the ass to have big roms then have to install them

SX Pro is starting to end up in peoples hands video is from Switch hacking reddit

Hopefully crack soon

bump

>>14985138

You might be better off buying a new one, it could even have 3.0 or lower if it's from a small shop.

>>14985138

>>14985196

I recommend buying a switch as long as nintendo doesnt get any money.

Try looking up Nintendo Switch discount or looking up a few on amazon or ebay for the cheapest one.

I managed to get one off of an online store with a fathers day discount code and saved $56 bucks.

>>14985239

I'm not too sure yet either, were all just currently waiting for the custom firmware software called Atmosphere to come out in a little while. Until then dont update the console and hold on.

>>14985293

I have yet to take it out of the box

>>14985504

Circuits work on electricity and paperclips are conductive.

>>14907104

How do you corrupt a single byte that only gets written once?

>>14985313

Check its firmware, I got mine a few days ago probably less than a week ago and it is on 4.1.0. Yours should be on that too.

The current firmware is 5.1.0.

Dont update, it fucks up the homebrew launcher and probably some other named things. When I set up my switch I skipped setting up the internet and put it on airplane mode so it became update proof.

You obviously cant access the eshop that way but you could still play games of course, I borrowed some from my friend and they play just fine.

>>14985504

Paperclips make great shunts

>>14985596

By writing it wrong and it not having an error correction circuit.

Closest thing to a switch general.

Left joycon keeps drifting to the left. Bound to screw me over in some games. How do I fix short of sending it (and possibly the whole console) to Nintendo, assuming I'm still within warrenty?

>try my hand on the online used lottery

>get a like new 3.0.2 probably never even opened

>>14986194

Recalibrate it in the settings nigger

>>14985627

>Dont update, it fucks up the homebrew launcher

Homebrew Launcher was already updated to work on the latest firmware

I removed the tin foil I put into my right joy-con and the switch still thinks it isn't connected when I connect it, as if the foil was still there. This is annoying since I wanted to use my switch in handheld mode and some homebrew apparently don't work with the foil in there.

Anybody else run into this issue?

>>14994932

You might have killed serial on accident by shorting 10 to 8. Your joycons will still charge and work in wireless mode but you're pretty much fucked lad

>>14994943

damn, & I tried so hard to get it only on 10 & 9.

>>14994964

>I tried so hard to get it only on 10 & 9.

That was your mistake. It would've been less risky to short pin 10 to the center screw on your joycon rail. You would've just needed a longer piece of foil

Its possible pin 10 is just stuck on LOW though. Can you get back into RCM mode by pressing power and vol+ with USB connected without any foil?

>>14994993

nope

>>14995006

Then your serial is fried. Sorry lad

>>14995033

guess I'll go look online for some cheap lol joy cons of a different color. At the very least it still has use, but this is a bummer.

>>14995050

The serial on the Switch itself is fired I am afraid. Again, charging and wireless joycons will still work but not attached joycons

>>14995076

oh

>>14995093

Sorry lad. I wish there was a way I could fix it but that's what it sounds like from my end. You always have to be really careful when shoving metal shit on random connectors

>>14995105

yeah, 100% my fault, trying risky things impatiently when piracy wasn't even out yet. Hopefully I'll find a way to manually replace that.

>>14988506

Did that. Didn't work. Blew compressed air. Also didn't work. Last resort is prying off the rubber cap but I'm afraid I won't be able to get it back on.

https://www.sosav.com/guides/game-consoles/nintendo/nintendo-home/nintendo-switch/right-rail/

Reckon this'll solve it? Or will my fuck up run even deeper than that?

>>14995144

It might but don't be surprised if it doesn't. The problem has nothing to do with the physical connector itself, but the serial detect circuit that sends data to and from the joycon to the switch. When the joycons are attached to the switch and in charge mode the wireless on them is turned off they go into "wired mode".

One then you can maybe do is cover the charge pin on the joycon so you can attach them to your switch and not have them go into charge mode

>>14995144

Here is what I mean

https://github.com/dekuNukem/Nintendo_Switch_Reverse_Engineering

Pin 8 is data, which you probably fried. Pin 3 is BT status however. Which is shorted to LOW when it is attached to the console that looks for serial as a result

You can MAYBE "fix" your joycon by covering pin 3 on the joycon itself somehow. This will keep it from shorting to LOW on the Switch and keep it in Bluetooth mode while still being able to charge

>>14907100

Every million dollar measure has a 10 cent countermeasure.

>>14999345

Alright, be warned that to my knowledge there is no current warmboot solution, so if you ever turn off your Switch you have to RCM it every time. Also, no coldboot for a long ass time until they discover something new and big. But if you don't give a shit about convenience go right ahead, it's not a big deal.

>randomly put right joycon back in what I assumed to be a defective rail

>switch recognizes it

I'm fucking baffled how it's working now

Anon that was helping me before and anybody else more knowledgeable than me, should I stop my order of a replacement rail or not?

>>14999569

also what's the best jig to use? I don't want to risk more tin foil damage

>>14923162

'lewd flipnotes'? What the fuck are you even talking about. Got an example?

>>14999345

Look at the fucking post above you, you idiot. EmuNAND.

I can't stand these fucking children who are all itching to update for no reason, despite ruining warmboothax potential. There are zero games that require above 4.1.0 and 5.x only brought security changes. You are fucking retarded if you update.

>>14999893

Stop acting like the switch is some unstoppable force whenever it gets updated, the same shit happened with the 3ds multiple times and each time the hackers found a way and fucked the system raw with ways to get cfw again and again.

We'll see if updating a system that has a hardware backdoor problem would be that much of an issue, which I highly doubt.

And I know the hackers will find a way to get through 5.1.0, they always do.

But yeah I did put myself in a minor inconvenience, sorry about that if it really bothered you that much anon.

>>14999569

>>14999587

If its working again I see no reason to order new ones. Again, I wish I can actually be there to evaluate the situation instead of having to go by words of some anon

>>14999893

>>15000079

Also, Homebrew Launcher already boots fine on 5.1.0. Nintendo can never patch out RCM mode, its burned into TrustZone Trusted Firmware ROM. Shit like EmuNAND will likely be done entirely through RCM mode so it will never matter what version your HorizonOS is currently on

>>15000079

The Switch is not the 3DS. There is no benefit to updating and only firmwares up through 4.x have Trustzone defeated which means no potential for untethered booting as of now. 5.0.0 introduced kernal ASLR which means you're fucked, basically.

Also, if people payed attention, one of the prominent developers is about to release homebrew that disables efuse burning, so you'll be able to backup your sysNAND, update to current firmware, and downgrade back at any time.

It just bugs me that people have no foresight or patience. People have this compulsory need to update that makes no sense.

>>15000254

>The Switch is not the 3DS. There is no benefit to updating and only firmwares up through 4.x have Trustzone defeated which means no potential for untethered booting as of now. 5.0.0 introduced kernal ASLR which means you're fucked, basically.

Every firmware is subject to RCM mode and always will be. which means we will always at the very least have an EmuNAND solution (because the bootloader is already subverted we do not need to rely on SysNAND weaknesses to boot up an EmuNAN over SD)

>>15000268

*EmuNAND

>>15000268

I know. But it is highly unlikely that 5.x+ will get a cold/warmboot solution. KASLR fucked that up. The potential for untethered booting is not worth losing.

>>15000292

>I know. But it is highly unlikely that 5.x+ will get a cold/warmboot solution.

Flipping a single bit in the second stage bootloader already forces the Switch into RCM mode without needing to short pins. That's something Nintendo can't patch either because its basically Trusted Firmware throwing an exception because it thinks NAND is corrupted. So we already have a solution there, we just need to wait for it to become more streamlined and safe to perform. Hell, we can probably write a small ROP payload into the bootloader itself from RCM mode so the Switch is forced into RCM and then forced to boot a modified SYSNAND or EMUNAND every time you turn it on.

>>15000303

sage because samefag. But also keep in mind ASLR does not start until after second stage boot

>>15000303

Doesn't RCM have to load something over USB? So unlike A9LH/B9S or HENkaku Enso you can't just power it on at any time if you want it hacked.

>>14994901

Crossing fingers!!

>>15000303

I think you might be misunderstanding things. You have to launch a payload after going into RCM mode to boot custom firmware. That's done right now through USB and you have to connect it to a PC/phone every time. If you want to switch payloads and boot up linux, for example, you have to power off and reboot tethered to a PC/phone. Every time. 4.1.0 and lower have the potential to remove that need.

>>15000323

>>15000327

Yes, right now you do need a send a payload over USB, because that's where RCM mode looks for a payload by default.

Again, there is no reason why we can't write a custom bootloader from RCM mode. We already CAN in fact write to the bootloader from RCM mode (which is what AutoRCM does) Boot into RCM once, send the initial hack payload over USB, payload runs on the Switch, modifies the bootloader, and boom, permanently modded Switch Nintendo cannot fix

>>15000338

You're kidding. Even the 3DS's bootrom verified FIRM (it had faults that were used by A9LH/B9S but at least tried). Doesn't the Switch have that chain of trust?

>>15000368

It does but RCM mode kind of breaks the chain. It can be used to decrypt otherwise encrypted SysNAND partitions. Nintendo really fucked up

>>15000381

>>15000368

More specifically, one can write a USB payload over RCM that allows an attacker complete control over the Power Management and Boot Processor. Nintendo again can't fix this because the vulnerability is in ROM

>>15000381

>>15000402

Well here's hoping. Mine's at 5.1.0. It came at 3.0.2 but apparently that was already suboptimal when I got it and I put it up to 5.0.2 to do some online stuff. Then I messed up and it snuck an update download on, that I accidentally triggered on starting a game.

>>15000420

You can already boot Homebrew Loader fine on 5.1.0. But remember, Homebrew Loader itself will likely break on 6.0 when its out. There is a difference between an RCM payload and a patch for the running SYSNAND. SYSNAND is always changing with updates, RCM mode will never change. So the best solution will likely be an A9LH-type solution or EMUNAND

>>15001195

Wait really? This fast? Will this allow app spoofing for running XCI files from SDCards like some people are speculating or are the lead devs antipirate cucks?

>>14961806

This slightly jank method of backup loading has been released. More specifically, here's a guide I found on GBA Temp.

1) Get a title id of any game you have installed from http://switchbrew.org/index.php?title=Title_list/Games (this is your target titleid)

2) Create a directory on SD : sd:/atmosphere/titles/*target_titleid*

3) use hactool to extract the romfs.bin and exefs files from your main game nca (its in secure from XCI - the biggest one)

4) put romfs.bin in sd:/atmosphere/titles/*target_titleid*/romfs.bin, exefs files into sd:/atmosphere/titles/*target_titleid*/exefs/

5) Edit titleid in main.npdm (in exefs) to contain target title id (this might help http://switchbrew.org/index.php?title=NPDM)

6) run a fs_mitm containing CFW release, run your target app

Apparently saves aren't quite working yet though. Maybe keep an eye out for better methods.

Just to be absolutely sure, if I order a switch right now, it's going to be hardmoddable via this "exploit", but it won't be softmoddable due to, probably pre-installed incompatible updates?

>>15003424

Currently, no hardware fixes have been released, and the current software version 4.1.0 will not have coldboot for a long time if ever, but has a warmboot exploit almost certainly available some time in the future, but it will take some time.

>>15003432

I kind of googled this but not entirely sure, is "warmboot", whatever that is, a flawed, unsafe method for switch homebrew or is it going to be as reliable as any other soft or hardmod?

>>15003506

Coldboot is just loading straight into CFW. Warmboot is basically going to the web browser, loading a site, and booting into CFW. The current short "hardmod" involves being tethered to a computer, your phone, or some sort of USB dongle. Warmboot is fairly convenient all things considered, although it would be even better if you could load it through a music player or something similar. I might be exaggerating about 5.0 and up not having a warmboot, but since there has been none discovered yet and 4.1.0 has a known vulnerability there's no good reason to update, especially when emuNAND drops.

>>15003574

sounds pretty inconvenient, terrible even. I'd prefer a method where homebrow is basically permanent and no re-enabling ever needed. Do you think such a development could happen in the future? Is this that "coldboot" you mean? You think it could happen in 1-2 years on that 4.1.0 firmware?

>>15003574

I'd argue cold boot isn't as important with working sleep mode

>>15003639

also some more general question: you guys think if I buy that extra amazon "warranty/protection guarantee" they'll replace my switch if I happen to be retarded enough to brick it?

>>15003647

doesn't soft or hardmodding a system void those?

>>15003656

yeah but will they give a shit or be able to recognize it. Sometimes companies are "generous" like that and replace even brick products if they either don't realize it's been bricked/warranty voided or if they don't happen to care

>>15000356

I got one because Amazon has em for 21 bucks. It's played Breath of the Wild pretty well, except it has no waggle control function so I have to switch to the regular Switch controller for the times I need to tilt it. Still worth the price.

>>15005545

do saves work?

>>15005545

I want free shit. How can I do it? Do I need to buy an outside thing or something?

>>15005545

Must I good goy at least once if I don't want to update and download some free title from the eshop?

>>15003644

It was manageable with the Vita and old versions of HENkaku but still, in case the system crashes or whatever you want an offline entrypoint. Automatic is still the best though.

>>15005574

>>15005581

>>15005584

It's super convoluted right now, and people are having a hard time loading larger games. People are already writing programs to automate the process. Few days to a couple weeks and it'll be streamlined.

>>15005574

Which game?

>>15005604

It doesn't fucking matter nigger

>>15005604

this guy is on 5.1.0

updating doesn't kick you out of doing this

>>15005604

Bruh you could've disabled that update nag with "Gag Order". And also now you can update without burning fuses and downgrade back if you have a NAND backup of the firmware you want to go back to.

>>15005609

Not my vid. Proof of concept from gbatemp. I'm on 4.1.0

>>15005604

That's okay!

>>15005613

Correction: it has to be a NAND backup you make on your Switch.

Someone talk to mark on discuck if it's okay to make a new thread early when Romfs comes out. It's right around the corner now.

>>15005590

Also, I assume you meant simonmkwii?

Disingenuous faggots like this are the ones ruining piracy communities and allowing brazilian and chinese scalpers to pick up the slack and fuck thing sup for everyone. GBAtemp was one of the better rom sites back in the day and they were the ones who really reamed Nintendo's asshole by generating so much easy and quick piracy for the GBA and DS… and now these simpering faggots are pretending to be hardcore oldfags who helped build up the site, like the whole fucking thing is just some passion project for them and not a means for people to get easy access to thousands of games for free.
