So even though my serials is in orange region but i bought it last May 2018, it means that my switch is hackable? Correct?

If you bought the console before June 2018, it should be hackable.
Date is less reliable than serial number. That is because we do not know when ipatched consoles were being manufactured. That is why there is overlap in the orange zone.

crazy question here, but my switch dies and looking for a replacement. i got a guy who wants to trade a switch he bought last year around Christmas time. i wont be able to get serial until trade. is there a way i can use my Chromebook (in dev mode, unassigned apk's) to send a payload to test it out before the trade?
my luck its probably patched lol. its the neon standard edition..
thanx in advance

Don't think you can use a chromebook to test, you need an unpatched unit for it to accept payload.

I understand you need a unpatched switch to test but what I’m wondering is if the “android “ pay loader sender would work to see if switch was patched

yep its patched.. smashed stack at 0x0000
serial XAW10102211631

Just noticed it was on 9.0 would that matter in seeing exploitable or not?
R.I.P

Yea, what firm the system is on is very important for patched and mariko consoles. For regular patched consoles, 4.1.0 can be hacked right now, 5.0.0-7.0.1 will be hackable in the future, 8.0.x won’t be fully hackable but may be able to downgrade to 7.0.x in the future, and 8.1.0 and above is fucked. You’re on 9.0.0, so even more R.I.P :(. This could change sometime in the future, but it’s unlikely.

    @SylverReZ, atleast wiimmfii went fine although people only use it for Mario kart Wii
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    At least if they ban you for cheating, get another Wii. They're cheap as chips.

    Remember when RiiShop was a thing?
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    not really
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    It got shutdown because somebody "accidentally" leaked the database for the amount of people using the beta.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    RiiShop is the laziest way of downloading Wii games. Did somebody not think of this through?
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    although i ended up accidentally changing my nand with no way of going back bc i didn't know you needed a gamecube controller to restore it (i have a wii minus/1.1, which doesn't have gamecube controller support)
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @BakerMan, I think you're talking about the recovery mode that the SaveMii used, and also was to restore softbricked systems.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    If your NAND was hardbricked, then just buy another Wii. Or go with the dirty NAND flasher method.
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    and if i find the sd card i have my NAND backed up on, i can not only restore the NAND if i solder the right part in, but i can also put my NAND on dolphin, then i can play dolphin online, like PMEX Remix or MKWii Riibalanced
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    Brb
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @BakerMan, Oh yeah, that was a thing too. Dolphin does support Wiimmfi.
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    yeah you just need to put your NAND backup with wiimmfi on it
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    ngl i feel like if a bunch of my friends have wiis and know how to get wiimmfi and back up their NAND, then we could do a PMEX Remix tournament
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    maybe even add UMVC3/DBFZ and make it a biathlon/triathlon
