    In my hands I have a rare, modded OLED switch, and I'm going to show you what you can do with an modded switch, how to tell if your switch is moddable, and how to mod your OLED switch if you can do so. I also go over all the cool things you can do with a CFW switch, like game streaming, running android on a switch, and using custom firmwares to do all types of cool stuff like game modding on switch, among other things. This video took forever, and I really hope you enjoy how it came out! Months of researching lead up to this.

    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.

      I completely agree. However I don't think it's modding specifically that makes Nintendo more tight with security. I think it's more so the chance of titles being pirated that causes them to act this way. Modding itself can be extremely beneficial but it opens the floodgates to A LOT more problems.

      They dont care if people mod a 10 year old handheld anymore and pirate games for it because they've already maximized sales for the device. The switch, however, is still a fresh piece of hardware which makes sense as to why nintendo would still be protective of the console.

    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.

    Jailbroken tech really shows just how much the hardware it’s operating on is capable of and lots of the stuff isn’t even that hard to implement. Yet majority of this stuff will never get done. 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.

      @panconjuego4394 Před 8 dny +1

      @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

    One note I would make is that AutoRCM will cause the battery to drain abnormally fast compared to not using it. I would suggest not using it unless you really don't want to use the jig. There is an overlay you can use to reboot back to hekate or even directly to Android if you have it installed. It's probably only useful on V1 Switches though that so not need the modchip.

    my favorite thing to do with a hacked Switch is overclocking and 60 fps mods. A lot of games surprisingly work pretty well at 60 fps. You can even force it to use handheld mode settings to get you the rest of the way there.

I'm getting my first Switch soon which is the OLED one, and it's a little bit disappointing that I can't jailbreak it now, but at least I'm glad such a community still exists. Maybe it'll be more accessible and less risky once the Switch is no longer supported by Nintendo (just like what I've heard of the 3DS hacking scene) but for now, thanks for showing us the growing potential of the Switch homebrew scene! I sincerely hope the Switch could at least take notes from the custom themes and Discord status one!

    5:15 *Just an FYI that Applet Mode is not always reliable when running certain apps in the Homebrew Menu.* Due to the fact that you're accessing it from the Gallery, you aren't able to use the full RAM. To get the most efficiency out of your experience using the Homebrew Menu, simply load any game / app on your Switch's home menu as you normally do and make sure you hold the R button while doing so. This triggers a title override that, instead of launching the game / app, directs you to the Homebrew Menu, but at least this way, you have access to the full RAM, enabling you to run certain apps at 100% efficiency.

  • @Ziggurat1
    @Ziggurat1 Před 10 měsíci +2

    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
      @jtchoi2003 Před 6 měsíci

      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.

    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.
