Is there a way to install homebrew on the Nintendo Switch Oled?

[tw_fan]

I've heard that you can install homebrew on the "normal" Switch but that it's not possible or at least very difficult to do so on the Oled model. But is that actually true?
If not what's the easiest way to do so?

I'm totally new to this and don't know anything about this. So I don't know how anything of this works. If it's important to know, I'm from Germany so there could be some slight differences to other regions like the USA or Japan. Also I've got the latest Nintendo software installed

Thanks in advance

Only way is to have a modchip fitted.

Pay someone. Modchip is the only option for OLED, your other choice is to buy an unpatched V1 Switch if you want softmod.

Just buy a Switch that is vunerable to the RCM exploit, it's just so much easier.

^ this. Sell OLED, buy unpatched on ebay

If I didn't already have an unpatched OG switch, I'd be looking into options to chipping an OLED. That screen must be nice. But then again, I play a lot of the time docked to the tv.

No matter what your objections are, those are the options.

Dude I just started working. There's no way in hell I'm going to pay another hundred bucks or even more!

Ok.

Sure, but it's the only option at this point in time. So take it or leave it I guess?

Or just stop commenting on my post and forcing me to do something I'm not willing to do?

You either mod chip or you can't have homebrew. Suck it up and stop being an arse to other people on the thread.

 

[hippy dave]

Today I learned that "take it or leave it" is forcing someone to take it. Who knew?

The chip cost like 80-100 Euro anyway. Anyway if you want an OLED with CFW either buy the chip and get it installed or buy a pre-modded one.

You could always try your luck with the HwlFly, I think they're on v4 now

What's HwFly and what's v4?
And how do you get those?

Those are also modchips.

Look, I don't know why you are getting upset at people literally answering the question you asked. There is nothing we can do if the answer is not what you seek. Your circumstances has no bearing on what is currently possible.

Your options are as follows:

1. Get a modchip and solder it yourself.
2. Get a modchip and someone to solder it for you
3. Get a pre-modded Switch
4. Get an exploitable Switch
5. Wait for an alternative which may or may not ever come
6. Give up on the idea of homebrewing your Switch

This is pretty much an exhaustive list of the currently available choices you have right now.
