​

Just over a week ago, team Xecuter announced that they are working on a soon-to-be-revealed modchip for the Nintendo Switch. This was big news because modchip devices are usually used to circumvent anti-piracy measures on many digital platforms, but mainly gaming systems, and to see one already in the works for a machine that is only 10 months old is very rare.

Since then the team have been quiet, no one knows what the device will look like, how it will work, or when they can get their hands on one - but GBAtemp can exclusively reveal today that there will be BOTH a solder AND solderless option of team Xecuter's Nintendo Switch modchip.

Here is a direct quote from team Xecuter:

For now, I can tell you there is a solder and solderless version. We have quite a lot in the works, you will have more info soon.

The difference in pricing should be interesting in the two versions of the device, but at least you can now rest safely, knowing that the team will be providing options for whatever the Xecuter Switch modchip turns out to be.

Stay tuned to GBAtemp for more info in the upcoming weeks.

It's been awhile since I've had to solder in a modchip. Bring it on.

there's a solderless version

So, a bootrom redirection tool?

i fell it can be included in the package of the modchip...

I seriously doubt that, this isn’t a cheap screen protector kit from China.

You say this a lot, and it is in the opening post.
Do you consider a solderless mod a silver bullet for some reason?

It won't be. I can guarantee that
I've always bought stuff from teamxecuter and they don't provide tools

No interest.

If I'm not mistaken, the tools necessary for opening the 360 and flashing the drive was included.
I might be wrong though, it was a couple of years ago.

The tools were bought separately, which they sold as a kit.

Nintendo really loved their gamebit for quite a while. Then they decided to go triwig.

Wow, was expecting a lot but a non solder option. Still wonder what the point of entry is used to achieve it solderless.

 

[Bladexdsl]

No interest.

Its going to be a running joke on this forum for many decades now im afraid, it was begging to be mocked too lol.

Guess predicting in jokes is going to join ability to predict consumer trends in the things I suck at list.
