It sucks that Nintendo are so adamant about cracking down on modding as modding breeds a lot of awesome innovative stuff. Nintendo should honestly just hire some of the people who're creating this custom software as they're clearly skilled. IMO, once you buy a piece of hardware, that hardware belongs to you & you should be allowed to do what you want with it without the company you bought it from breathing down your neck. How is the tech world supposed to move forward if we don't let people tinker with machines? Same goes for software, giving people the tools to learn & create is a positive for everyone involved.

Nintendo hardware is not that fancy good, why use the Wii U switch for this ?

I think jailbreaking is excellent for extending the lifespan of older systems. I had a PSP which had sat in my drawer for around a decade barely being used until I jailbroke it and added emulators. Now it's my go-to handheld on the go, even over my Nintendo switch. I think companies should allow for legacy devices to be jailbroken, cause it gives them a second life when they would otherwise be forgotten in the digital age.

It really sucks, Nintendo in this scenario will put more resources into stopping this kind of thing instead of implementing what they see is popular within the community.

@t.r.s.eakamuneebatif9173 Hi, so the thing is, it's more complicated. When you mod your switch, the whole OS gets cloned. Meaning you now have 2 versions of it. The original will remain unhacked and you can do everything you could do before. The cloned one will be hacked, and with proper procedure, you can still connect to the internet with it, just not to Nintendo's servers, meaning any online game will lose that functionality. About the cartridge games thing, that's fake. No Idea where you heard about it but you can use cartridges both on the original Os and the hacked Os

a thing to note, you can play online with mods enabled, but you have to be careful about them. Smash ultimate and mario kart require you to only use pure visual mods or play in a friend lobby with people that also use the same mods, whereas in splatoon you get banned from it for changing anything.

Such a shame Nintendo is cracking down so hard on this -- emulation on the OLED switch would be incredible. I get Nintendo is trying to sell its own emulation through the Expansion Pass, so cracking down on modding is benifical to them, but it sucks considering how weak their paid offering is.

Dang this guy only have small subscribers you deserve more thanks for the info about moding

3:03 You can also mod a joycon to have a button that acts as an RCM jig. You just open it up, solder a cable and a button onto some specific pins on the joyon, and you have a perfectly normal joycon with a button on the back that allows it to work as an RCM jig.

Amazing, as a og switch modder I can say you covered a ton of the good stuff and gave a well detailed explanation! Keep up the amazing work!

I really like how your language is so precise and correct! So I want to correct you when you give wrong information. (don't worry, what you said wrong is technical, and wouldn't matter for most users) All switches, including the newer once, can go into RCM mode by using a jig (which as far as the SOC is concerned, equates to pressing the home button), and volume + and power. What was patched on v2 switches, mariko switches (fun note mariko is named after Wolverines japanese girlfriend), switch lite, and OLED was (grossly simplified) a buffer overflow exploit that allowed you to send a package that would be read by the rcm mode, but you send a so big package, that when rcm mode read the package it continued to write information from the package outside the area where it was supposed to store this information. And the package had so much information that it would write to an area where it would look for what to do next. And so it could write commands to the RCM mode, and essentially (grossly simplified) open the front door to homebrew. Thats why in v2, mariko, switch lite, and OLED you need a modchip that sends an unexpected voltage spike to the SOC, getting it to "glitch out" Oh back to the Mariko name, Mariko is the codename for the X1+ SOC in all but the v1 (unpatched) and v2 (patched) switches. the v1 and v2 switches have a X1 SOC, which has the code name Logan. Which is Wolverines most used civilian alias which he has used for most of his life. Nvidia has used scientist names for codenames for their architectures, but super hero civilian names for Tegra SOC's. The newest Tegra SOC based on Ada Lovelace arcitecture, is codenamed Thor.

@jtchoi2003

V2 Switches [HAC-001(01) are Mariko based. V1 Switches (HAC-001 no extra -01) are Erista, and some of them were patched too. Mariko SoCs weren't produced until 2019, and Fusee Gelee was patched in April 2018. Its a very common misconception that *every* V1 Switch is "unpatched", which is untrue. Just thought I'd clear that up.

I’m always super hesitant about Jailbreaking my consoles, so I usually wait until Nintendo drops support for the most part before I try it, but you’re making it SO HARD to wait lol

Great video. Im currently waiting for my Hwfly chip to arrive so i can integrate it into the V2. As someone who did a lot of PS4 controller soldering because adding extra buttons, im very familiar on using these tools in tiny spaces. It's also just 2 pinns that need to be soldered so, 4 times in total...

Found your channel 3hrs ago, already watched all of your vids. Your content is great! very entertaining and i always leave learning something new. Hope you keep it up because you earned a new sub! (if it matters at all hahah)

Great stuff!

This is from 2yrs ago...these "chips" are now anyway, cheap and easy to get as well as pretty easy to solder as the things are guided on where to solder at and everything...its now a lot easier and cheaper. Oh and you can mod basically any switch with the chip as well as switch light.

First time watching one of your videos and I really enjoyed it, but is just me or are you saying “combooter”? Anyway thanks for the vid!

I’ve been using a modded vita for most of my emulation needs and I’ve always loved it but this is literally everything I can want in a portable

Great video. You forgot to mention USB mass storage in the Hekate menu. It’s so much faster than ftp

All that work on your video and I just switched it off as soon as you started talking about your hair!

Wow 7 months and still no Nintendo Lawsuit? you're a lucky man!

Man, I wish those Switch Lite mod chips were more accessible, I would totally buy one just to mod.

Whoa I had my modded switch for almost a full year now but you made me realized how much stuff you got compare to me :) If you haven’t already try adding custom skin stuff to your games from game bannana. Its pretty easy and its fun having a game like smash bros, having new character skins like goku, SpongeBob, and much more

you can get the back shield off the OLED without messing with that tape. Just unplug the connectors, then look down the right side of the shield and you will see the cable is hooked around some plastic. You can use a plastic spudger to easily unhook the cable and then the whole back plate will come off without messing around with the tape.

I'm really liking my experience with my new Olded Switch.

This video is what ultimately inspired me to hack my Switch. My old Switch was starting to have issues to the point that the system was cracking open from the top portion. This was because the battery inside the system started to swell up. After getting a Switch OLED as a replacement console, I decided to salvage my old Switch by replacing the battery, changing the backplate AND modding it so I can give it a tad bit more life. It was a bit of a headache trying to install the custom firmware as some of the guides I read through were a little on the vague side but after many retries, I got my Switch fully hacked and it is every bit as amazing as this video showcases.

@CyberSlashO8 aside from the headaches like I said, it's been a success. My only advice here is to not do custom backgrounds because whenever a Switch firmware update goes live, you have to make sure to remove all that before installing the firmware, otherwise the screen goes green. Took me months to figure that out after reading, reading and reading through forums. Oh, also, make sure to install the firmware manually instead of directly from Nintendo. There's a site that helps you do that easily so there's that. All that side, its been smooth and enjoyable.

8:58 "compoeter" got me😂😂

I heard about switches you can buy that basically don't have anything on them? I can't remember what they're called so can't look them up. I think someone said white or black box switches. Basically just the hardware that you can load whatever os onto. Do ya have any info about those?

I’ve jailbroken multiple old consoles before but this video has shown me more

Modded my switch recently, so glad I have an unpatched model. It was so worth it, should have done this way earlier

can you also run games like you can on a pc? like set your own res and graphic settings and stuff. Would be pretty cool to see because most triple a games run at 720p 30fps

not sure if you are saying cumpooter on purpose or not but I think its hilarious. either way this vid makes me wanna mod an OLED switch. looks fun
