Hacking Finally Someone Tweets Why Pin 9 with 10 is BAD!

I've put mine to the home button on the joycon with some magnet wire on the pad. Will post pics etc when I'm home from this work around. Should also be possible to find different keypresses coming/going to the control IC and take it from there. Work stopped play sadly...

add a fuckin switch between Pin 9 and 10 to enable/disable the mod on the fly.
How dumb can someone be and make a permanent mod for something like this`?

And this is why softmods > hardware methods

I been saying for a while, the only true way for JoyCon Jig is doing the pin1 and 10, and now here is the tweet that proves my point:

So get with the program, do JoyCon bending right, or don't do it at all!

(BTW, I tried the embed a tweet, but it told me invalid URL)

this is not 100% right i bend my pin 9 over 10 and pushed 8 to the left and my joycon still working with and without bluetooth

Why would the Switch brick at 0%? I call bullshit.

I don't think it's a brick but more like a over-discharged battery which might get tricky to get it back to life again...

Some non modded switches seem to have completely died and don't come back to life until they replace the battery, while most come back to life eventually...

I had a few times on my Nvidia Shield Tablet too, the worse time took 2 days for the sucker to come back to life .

And this is why softmods > hardware methods

Yeah but usually hardmodes come with a good bunch of extra stuff.

Anyway we still need softmod and a modchip 4 now as using a piece of wire that only work as a home button is not much of a hardmod, we still need a modchip to automate everything...

And I would pay big money for a modchip with nand memory or m-sd adapter built-in and rather use it than a softmod.

The good thing with the switch is if it bricks, if we just remove the nand it enters RCM and we can run a backup, this is pretty good for softmoding it with a lot of safety.

Jigs suck unless you make them yourself. I ordered 2 from eBay and neither of them work. I have to keep using my copper wire until I solder something.

The ones the guy was giving away in the trading section seemed to work fine for everyone. And those weren't even tested before shipping.
It's hard to fuck up really. If the wire gets out of alignment during shipping just move it back into alignment. A jig you make yourself isn't automatically going to be better, you still have to fuck with it until the wire is aligned properly.

....you know autoRCM can effectively brick your console right

Uh, you know that's kind of the entire point of it right?

He was referring to the alleged brick that would occur if the battery completely died with AutoRCM installed. The argument was that the console wouldn't be able to charge since the console doesn't charge while in RCM, but it ended up not being true.

AutoRCM is safe, but it's pretty pointless to have it installed right now. Without Atmosphere CFW, AutoRCM is just going to lock one out of a lot of features. After Atmosphere is completed and released, that's the time to install AutoRCM.

Just reed reed switch it

I know that, but it still sounded like he wasn't aware of how AutoRCM works.

Me after that. A perfect solution for joycon jig modification.

 

[Reecey]

He could of just soldered together the last two on the pads, it would of done the same job

 

[Maximilious]

Actually this is wrong. My jig uses pin 1 and 10 and my joycon ran into the same issue. A simple turn off/on of the joycon fixes the issue.

Softmods tend to be generally safer, I'm not comfortable messing with pins, so yeah, not doing it.

Except it’s not true. I have pins 9 and 10 bridged on the test pads and the joycon works WITHOUT bluetooth.

Yeah, not everyone seems to have this issue. -- It depends on JoyCon firmware itself, and Switch firmware, later ones in v5 series seems to do more checking on pin 10, and I suspect Nintendo will add even more checks.

The only real true way if you don't want to remove your joycon all the time, and slide a Jig in, or using the boot0 public key zero'ing out AutoRCM way, is to mod the JoyCon to have an actual HOME button that you use with POWER and VOLUME, the 3 finger exploit salute each time, that way there is no way even nintendo can see pin 10 being low for too long when running in horizon os or via cfw.

Would it be possible in theory to buy a replacement joy con slider from china and use an alligator clip jumper wire to bridge pins 1 and 10 and have a oem jig

 

[Pluupy]

Joycons have firmware?

How do we check the firmware of joycon?

Yes. Ive been looking for one on ebay. Mind sending a link?

I just looked up joy con slider replacement they are around 8 dollars
