I'm not sure if this is where I should be starting. I bought a Switch Lite and have seen no references to the lite or the serial number mine starts with. I hope I am missing something obvious.

My serial number starts XJW7. Any idea where I should go from here?

You can see the serialnumber in the system settings.

Your switch is from the mariko revision. Means, you need definitely a modchip from team xecuter. There are no other ways to boot a cfw on switch units from this revision. Either you buy an unpatched model somewhere or you wait until someone finds a way to hack a switch lite without a modchip.

Thanks for the quick reply!

My Serial is XJJ7000471XXXX. I am not sure if it is patched or not. It’s not also in the list of any site to check if my unit is patched.

Been thinking to jailbreak my unit but i am new and dont really know the cons and pros of a jailbroken switch.

XAW1011 is patched, and it's unhackable, unless you're lucky enough for it to be on system version 4.1.0. The only other way to hack it is with a TX modchip, and you shouldn't hold out on any other method happening any time soon.

Go to the system settings and check.

However, if you connected the Switch to the internet at any time, the 4.1 hacks will no longer work, even if it's still on 4.1.

    The phat model had amazingly loud speakers tho.

  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Jayro, I don't see whats so special about the DS ML, its just a DS lite in a phat shell. At least the phat model had louder speakers, whereas the lite has a much better screen.

  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    They probably said "Hey, why not we combine the two together and make a 'new' DS to sell".

    It's a DS Lite in a slightly bigger DS Lite shell.

    It's not a Nintendo / iQue official product, it's a 3rd party custom.

    @SylverReZ if you could find a v5 DS ML you would have the best of both worlds since the v5 units had the same backlight brightness levels as the DS Lite unlockable with flashme

    but that's a long shot

    i think only the red mario kart edition phat was v5
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    A woman with no arms and no legs was sitting on a beach. A man comes along and the woman says, "I've never been hugged before." So the man feels bad and hugs her. She says "Well i've also never been kissed before." So he gives her a kiss on the cheek. She says "Well I've also never been fucked before." So the man picks her up, and throws her in the ocean and says "Now you're fucked."

    anyways, we need to re-normalize physical media

    if i didn't want my games to be permanent, then i'd rent them

    Agreed, that why I try to buy all my games on disc, Xbox anyways. Switch games (which I pirate tbh) don't matter much, I stay offline 24/7 anyways.
  • AncientBoi @ AncientBoi:
    I don't pirate them, I Use Them :mellow:. Like I do @BigOnYa 's couch :tpi::evil::rofl2:

  • cearp @ cearp:
    @BakerMan - you can still "own" digital media, arguably easier and better than physical since you can make copies and backups, as much as you like.

    The issue is DRM
  • cearp @ cearp:
    You can buy drm free games / music / ebooks, and if you keep backups of your data (like documents and family photos etc), then you shouldn't lose the game. but with a disk, your toddler could put it in the toaster and there goes your $60

    :rofl2:
  • cearp @ cearp:
    still, I agree physical media is nice to have. just pointing out the issue is drm
  • rqkaiju2 @ rqkaiju2:
    i like physical media because it actually feels like you own it. thats why i plan on burning music to cds
