Hey fags. If you don't give a shit about wagglan HD rumble shit, you can get the Hori Joycon (L) for cheap.
Rakuten always has the MSRP instead of bloated gaijin prices, you just need to learn how to sign up and order.
If you can find (R) joycons for cheap, then you would save a hell of a lot of money if you only care about portable mode.

OS ChinX ver 1.5 is here.
●Added mass NSP install (and optional delete) functionality●
Users who want to install a lot of NSP titles at once can now easily do so by pressing
[Y] in the installer tab.
Upon finish the NSP installer will also ask you if you want to delete the NSP source files from your microSD card, freeing up space and keeping every neat and tidy!
●FTP server support●
You can now enable a FTP server from the options tab in our menu that will keep running even once the menu is closed.
This FTP server gives direct access to your microSD card, so you no longer have to eject the card to store/retrieve files.
More content directories
Some people complained that they didn't like all the XCI/NSP/NRO files in the root of their SD card.
We have to agree that becomes a bit messy, so the menu will now scan the following directories as well looking for game content:
/sxos/games
/sxos/xci
/sxos/nsp
/sxos
/switch/games
/switch/xci
/switch/nsp

You can always install AutoRCM so external devices aren't necessary but you'll then need to rely on an SD Cars to even get into SysNAND

>Will a ban make my Switch useless

>Will installing CFW break my Switch
For now there is no permanent CFW that can be installed, so no.
>>15299647
AutoRCM doesn't mean you don't need to push a payload, autoRCM merely removes the need for a jig every time you boot. It also causes some issues with how the Switch reads your battery status and can cause your Switch to permanently shut off at like 75% battery.because it thinks the battery is dead.

> It also causes some issues with how the Switch reads your battery status and can cause your Switch to permanently shut off at like 75% battery.because it thinks the battery is dead.
The battery goes out of calibration because only the firmware itself was keeping track of battery charge levels and the longer your Switch sat in RCM mode the more out of sync it got, but IIRC that's since been fixed and there are numerous solutions to fix that online already

I wont have any space for games like DaemonXMachina or Fire Emblem 3 houses so it kinda sucks that I have to start deleting some games eventually.

I'm stockpiling Switch games until piracy is safer / less shit. Eventually I want to be able to play pirated games offline and legitimate games (MK8, Splat2n, Sma5h) online without getting banned. While file type should I hoard, .nsp or .xci? I've heard that using .xci is """safer""", but it's still unclear.
I'm hoping to download all the good stuff before copyright ninjas take them down.
4e83ff No.15310325
>>15310211
Honestly it might be fine to not hoard anything since newer ways to dump/install games tend to also come with stripping piracy detection methods replacing tickets, removing phone home attempts, etc
I think XCIs are currently considered "better" because they're detected as cartridges rather than eshop games that your console knows you don't own in the event you ever manage to go online without meaning to though that risk mostly comes from Nintendo connections for "presents" being hardcoded and not needing to be entered

Thinking about getting a Switch.
Obviously I'm going to homebrew it.
My current idea is get one, pirate everything I want on it and don't care if it gets banned, then if I really want a game that has online features, I'd get a 2nd console and buy the game with said features.
Anyone see that as being a problem? Would games that just collect a bit of data from online servers I.E. MHXX/GU be fine to run online as they're using Capcom's servers, or would connecting it online upload some trigger to Nintendo and ban the console from even getting quest data?
4e83ff No.15350618
>>15349812
When Nintendo detects a console reporting data in a nonstandard way it tends to get banned a week or two later taking the Valve approach of not letting people know what banned them so easily
The problem with the Switch is when you get banned for piracy/fake certs they will ban you from the CDN as well which, in all likelihood, will be how Capcom distributes quest data this time around.
When you get banned from the CDN you can't download anything through Nintendo. Games, game updates, DLC, System updates, etc.
Most of that isn't really a big deal because nobody gives a shit about their inability to fix exploits on banned consoles and DLC is gay.
The issue arises when they have day one patches that include a good portion of the game, for example the Spyro rerelease for consoles only comes with the first game on disc, the classic versions and remakes of games two and three are downloaded.
If you were banned you'd be paying $40-$60 and be missing a majority of what you paid for.
If that sort of practice becomes more widespread and it probably will as game devs don't compress shit anymore you won't even be able to play physical carts with a CDN banned console.

I don't think bans are ever going to be "solved", there haven't even been surefire ways to stop 3DS bans, other than replacing LocalFriendCodeSeed_B, and that has been broken for years.
Considering how much of the eShop/CDN authentication is handled on Nintendo servers this time around I don't think it'll be six months, if ever.
You'd need to sacrifice a lot of hackable Switches to get close to figuring out how to spoof what they're looking for and Nintendo could probably break any potential solution rather quickly by authenticating in some other way.
I think people are going to need to get used to transferring .NSPs/.XCI from PC. I'd be happy to be wrong though.

I'm guessing, through a maze of legal language and
>well, technically
they can get away with it by claiming they didn't sell access to Nintendo servers or the OS with the Switch, they sold the hardware only and not following the ToS/EULA voids your ability to access the Nintendo servers.
That way they can get around any potential implications of Impression Products, Inc. v. Lexmark potentially legally protecting the right to make modifications to hardware by 3rd parties while not outright getting the average Nintendo consumer into a spergout when they realize the implications of licensing vs ownership.
Nintendo seems to be settling with CDN bans at the moment rather than account bans which seems to be solely reserved to fraudulent charges so, preumably, buying a new Switch won't instantly ban you unless you do dumb shit again.
I suspect it has to do with software sales.
They probably don't want to get anybody particularly obnoxious in the EU to look any further into how digital licenses work because that sort of thing ends up expensive, tedious, and will upset a lot of digital "marketplaces" when the EU rules that something was still sold and can't be taken back for 99% of reasons.

As for your question, why wouldn't it be legal? A ban stops you from accessing their servers, full stop. Lots of other (((services))) follow the same policy. I can't imagine a court forcing a company to allow banned pirates from accessing their servers. Of course, I've seen some weird shit come out of the jewdicial system, so ya never know.

I just got a Switch (XAW1004 with FW 3.0.0.2) and I have been reading about hacking. Anyway, from OP and what I read elsewhere this Atmosphere CFW is about to be released.. Should I just wait for it? I dont really have time to play games for the next 30 days anyway.
What I really want is coldboot. I hate those hacking methods that require me to keep the console turned on or I have to redo it. Plus I dont wanna buy a jig and I'm hamfisted enough to know I could screw up making one myself. Will Atmosphere give me that and hassless piracy?

If it had been a webkit exploit I could handle it. I can deal with Nintendo's horrible standby power draw. I can't deal with having to externally send a payload every time I boot up and/or corrupt my boot partition to not accidentally burn fuses.
>Will Atmosphere give me that and hassless piracy?
The people behind Atmosphere are staunchly anti-piracy only when it suits them to be so that said it won't take too long for somebody to port piracy enabling features and the like from ReiNX after Atmosphere "releases".

If you just want to pirate shit straight from Ninty, Freeshop and the like don't work anymore because they backported the Switch's server security to the 3DS. Old installs and using FBI to install cia's are okay.
If you want to play online:
I think you need the latest firmware (11.8) to play online. However, that firmware breaks old version of Tranny3DS inb4 "but I'm using RxTools". Current versions of Luma only work with the Boot9strap homebrew launcher, so I used this guide to get from A9LH to the latest version of Luma on Boot9strap in about half an hour then updated firmware normally: https://3ds.hacks.guide/a9lh-to-b9s.html
You might need to start from somewhere else depending on what you have on your 2DS: https://3ds.hacks.guide/

As far as I know homebrew is unzipped to the sdcard and the format is .nro but it is or was possible to install homebrew as an .nsp.

All the information I can find is either parroted from retards who hawk on Discords with the faggoty clique former 3DS devs and think they know what they're talking about because they can copy-paste shitty analogies or detailed breakdowns aimed at RE'ers.
So much of this console has been examined behind closed doors compared to the 3DS when the devs were spread out and came into contact with each other as time went on, and started hoarding/censoring their finds.

You're thinking of 6.0.0, hacking works fine on all current, actually released OFW assuming you have a hackable unit.
That said, updating while not burning fuses use Hekate, autoRCM, etc to make sure you don't boot the actual Horizon OS may be to your benefit in the event that a coldboot exploit is discovered, those will generally come to lower OFW before moving up, if ever.
Currently, if you have a bootrom exploitable unit, there isn't much reason to not update assuming you do so without burning fuses.
>>15438488
The fact that the bootrom "bug" is essentially "repair mode" means that you can't really skip getting bootrom access.
You could look into autoRCM. You'll still need to inject a payload each boot but you can do that with an android phone rather than your desktop.

I disagree. The biggest issue is needless exploit hoarding. needless because they can't even trust each other to keep shit private
If exploits were timed properly to avoid giving up all publicly known exploits at once, which is what the Switch retards seem to have done and given to everybody there would be no need to give a shit about moralfaggotry.
Console scenes have become a bunch of retards needing to feel superior before they release some webkit to kernel exploit that was announced months ago but not patched on consoles because they don't give a shit until they have to.

I'd rephrase that and say I'll wait until piracy becomes viable without the risk of getting banned from online services, but I've seen what they have to "offer".

From what I understand, the Switch is loaded with telemetry and server-side performs multiple authentication checks. I basically just went straight to airplane mode so I don't get banned in the off chance people manage to spoof all the telemetry.

Well, no way I'm paying for THAT online system, I'm still in the version before the new one and turned off updates.
How long until there's a permanent CFW?

Hey i installed some games using tinfoil and NSPs but when I try to launch them it says something like "checking to see if software can be played" and then denies me access because I can't get online? What's the big deal? From what I heard it should just be install and play like 3DS CIAs but every game I install asks for online verification

The coat tails being the same color as the gater belt make her look like she has 4 legs.

So you can directly treat xci's like NSPs now?

Jesus christ anon, why the fuck would you want that? Not only do you get a lag filled p2p shitfest of a connection, you also have to fucking pay for it too.

Yes actualy.
Because A, I dont have to fuck around with tonfoil. and B, it doesn't constantly bridge the points together so I wont have to worry about any issues that could arise from that. Such as the reports of bridged pin on joycons bricking them.

Because there's literally no reason to.

Given the fact that the homebrew scene is devolping faster than the psp, I'd say maybe 6 months to a year at most.
Maybe sooner if Atmosphere has something up their sleeve.

I'm confused, what are the benefits from not using the jig, and what do you use instead of tinfoil?
5980e2 No.15517029
>>15516989
Well for me, I use >>15438653 so it only bridges the pins when I press the joycon release button.
The tinfoil method and has the pins constantly bridged which could cause all sorts of potential issuse down the line through prolonged use, and on 6.0 there's reports of joycons with the tinfoil mod being bricked, and also, it's easily detectable that people have modded joycons.
And the RCM jig method is an annoying hastle to deal with.

But, with me having a button activated mod like that, I could just hold the button to get into rcm, plug the payload dongle and bam im done.
It's still annoying that i have to use an external dongle to boot into cfw but, w/e.

Will this method be outdated once coldboot methods come out?

You're asking about persistence not a coldboot exploit.

Well, now I'm asking about the coldboot exploit.

Well not necessarily.
In the sense of just booting cfw, yea in wouldn't be needed anymore but, it's still an important thing to have.
Having a way to directly boot into homebrew can be a godsend either to repair bricked units or install modified code. Because if you can directly boot into homebrew, you could bypass alll the restrictions that nintendo put in place on the os.

That helps. Thanks for letting me know, I'll see about doing that then, so I can minimize risk and such.
