You just nailed this video. Best modded Switch video there is out there IMO. The Switch OLED is my favorite due to the removable joycon where you can due a proper flip grip orientation for DS / TATE, use the kickstand for table top and use pro controller 3rd party joypad options. The Lite seems nice for those who need a more portable solution however, I don’t even think it’s that pocketable so they would both need to go into a bag.

It was a blast just firing up a misterious game, messing up with the menus, seeing if it had co-op mode

First gen models (Erista) can easily be modded by putting the system into recovery mode (bridging two pins of the JoyCon connector and turning the Switch on with Vol+ and Power buttons) and sending a payload via USB. Later models and the Lite need a modchip. They only cost like 10 bucks but soldering them isn't for the faint of heart.

Awesome video - I think it's your best yet! I've been dabbling with Moonlight (via the Switch's Horizon OS) to stream Elden Ring to my Switch V1. Now that I've upgraded to a modded OLED I'm looking forward to setting up Android for better streaming performance. I'm surprised you didn't mention Moonlight - even via HOS it seemed pretty capable, but apparently it's muuuuch better via Android because unlike homebrew running in HOS, Android allows full access to the GPU. And yeah, Duckstation HOS is great. I rediscovered Gran Turismo 2 last year and have been playing it for months on my Switch with widescreen, FPS and content mods. It's amazing, and it sips battery - when I got really carried away I could get over 6 hours from my V1, so I expect >10 hours (not that I'll ever play for that long) from my OLED. ToTK has been gathering dust while I rack up hundreds of hours in a 25 year old racing game that I didn't even like that much when it first came out! Such an amazing family of machines.

oh yeah, I'm really looking forward to the Switch OLED mod. I love the form factor but have been wanting a way to connect it to the TV for a long time. Please keep us updated 😁

My Switch Lite screen got a pretty unfortunate scratch on it a couple of weeks ago, and I've been itching to do the OLED screen mod shown here rather than just replace it with a regular LCD. I'm sure you've been asked this a few times, but do you have a (rough?) estimate on when we might see the screen available to the public? When you talk about it being 'relatively easy' to do, does that include any soldering, or can you pull this all off with a screwdriver and some delicate hands? Words cannot express how excited I am to get my hands on this ASAP!

Also, when running Android on switch you get access to Xbox Game Pass as in any phone, to run cloud games. What a time to live in.

I cannot wait for the Lite OLED. I’ve been on a parade of retro console upgrades and shell swaps, and I’m comfortable with screen replacements now

I’ve been all about modding my consoles forever. But now that I have a Steam Deck, I can’t say enough how great it is to trick out a console that isn’t fighting me the whole way. Experience has taught me to be scared each time that I add a new feature to a hacked console. You never know which mod will be the one that finally bricks the unit, or whether it will be possible to fix it. The openness and huge amounts of community support around the steam deck make it just worlds better than any modded console that I’ve ever tried. The deck can do EVERYTHING the Switch does, do it bettter, and do all of the things that are outside of the Switches capabilities. I’ve been loading it up with PS3 and Switch games lately.

He dumped it all on the family computer and that was my introduction to emulation along with my first taste of super Nintendo. Now I don't remember if I was using zsnes or one of the snes96/7/X back then but I will always vividly remember the nes emulator NESticle, with hairy little logo and all.
