Oh. I thought that it is some special pin on the switch

This is what I did. xD It's not the best since you have to position it, you can't just pop it in and go, but it's been working fine for me. Bent mine a bit with a pair of pliers so it doesn't fall out. It's all I have on hand.

Would still be nice to see this from some other angles, since this one picture is not as helpful as it is supposed to be... at least to me.

 

[naddel81]

does this have to be in all the time or just for boot`?

 

[Sonic Angel Knight]

I don't know what you are sticking a pin inside the system, explaining things make it more easier to understand.

boot.

 

[Clydefrosch]

does it remain secure when you have a cable sticking out of the underside?

Click on the picture to zoom in.

I honestly don't know how he could have taken a better shot. That's the only angle you can see inside the hole.

I tried this with a pin-back button (same concept) and it works, another easy option to enter RCM mode

Wow, first, hardmod, then, bentpins, afterward, 3d printed jigs, and now, a mere safety pin.

I swear to god, Nintendo.
It's magnethax all over again

Ah now I see what people mean by "pin 10". It's literally the 10th pin towards the right. This looks extremely easy just like ntrboot on 3ds. Its been less than a week since this method has been uncovered to the public and people are already finding new things.

PinHax? Seems fitting in this thread at least.

 

[DotDotDot]

Good idea. You're GND.

I believe it is called Pardible in other part of the universe.
