Hacking Can someone recommend an easy way to short pin 10 without taking apart the joycon?

[skedone]

you just need to short two pins why the hell would you need another joycon lol , infact you only need to short one pin to any ground so just touch the paperclip ect to the rail its self

Paperclip to the Pins ? can you take a picture

I like non essential hardware. I plan to offer services in the future so it will ensure a lifetime of use. I also could use another joycon for games

If you're talking to me, I was going to purchase the joycons anyway. I'd rather just solder a wire/bridge the two points and be done with it. There are also other uses for joycons beside this exploit.

Same here. Plus once i get my esp8266 mod done it will be the ultimate on the go solution.

I'm also worried about cheap plastic holding up over time. $30 is 1/10 as expensive as the switch

hay if you want it as a added controller ect then yeah makes sense but just to get one to beacsue shorting a pin seems hard is a bit much

not aimed at anyone in perticular and dont see why not short one you already have , it was the whole rush out and buy one now , exploit only really out nothing much using it at mo once dust blows over then i would think about getting one other wise i would use what i got

Hm. Is that the dev board that allows you to autorun Linux when it's booted? I remember hearing about something similar in the PS4 scene where people were using them to spoof a wifi connection and host the exploit. (I can't remember if people were installing them in the PS4 system itself.) No PC needed. Are you thinking about doing something similar? Perhaps by mounting it in the Switch's dock. That wouldn't be mobile. Perhaps a port at the bottom of the Switch that allows it to siphon off the Switch's battery and use a USB type C connector for data.

Was it not in the 3DS scene ? With the webkit exploit ?

think he means this but not sure https://github.com/RetroGamer74/ESP8266_Homebrew_2.0_Switch_Pegaswitch

That would make sense. It sounds like it works exactly like the PS4 chip. Spoofs an internet connection the system connects to and then run the exploit. Neat either way.

thats what i gonna do also gonna go to a friend and let him wire me 2 wires and done

Keep in mind that this is a tethered hack for now. ktemkin clearly stated that Atmosphère was not tethered, so they certainly found a way to install something, at least to boot Atmosphère. Making a boot menu like grub for the Switch won't be hard if this is the case.

 

[Deleted User]

Nathan is there already a way to install it to the nand ? so no need for wires

 

[AxlSt00pid]

One question though: That RCM thingy is currently doable on all firmwares including 5.x?

 

[Deleted User]

i mean Fail0verBoost was writing , that the exploit they used is not patchable and always useable

 

[natinusala]

Not yet, but I guess there will be when Atmosphère is going to be released.

 

[dpad_5678]

Lately I've been jamming paperclips into my rails

( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

 

[isoboy]

But there is jack shit to do with it. Nothing to play.

 

[Deleted User]

we could write to the nand right now the u boot loader ... i just dont know how to add switches emmc to it

 

[natinusala]

Or else it's gonna be a semi-tethered solution like boot Atmosphère once and each subsequent boot will boot it again, like a self-patching patch
