It seems that TX has found a way to modify the latest Switch consoles, including the newly released Lite

Since the new 'red box' Mariko units appeared, people have been asking when will it be possible to run CFW on it, well today MaxConsole was in touch with trusted TX reseller, that been given some advance news on a new solution that is coming soon, and that it infact works on all new Switch models, not just the 'patched' ones, but even the 'mariko', and 'lite' models as well, see below what they mentioned:

TX has recently taken the time to demonstrate to us some of their Work-In-Progress. Notably for 'patched' and 'mariko' units which is very advanced, and works flawlessly. We were not given a firm date or prices yet, but knowing TX we know the price will be very reasonable. We also saw early beta for Switch Lite console as well.

So that above is great news, and we will have more in the coming weeks, as we have requested to get an early sample from the trusted TX reseller, so that we can share more info with our loyal readers, on how TX's new solution works and what is involved and pics of course!

The thing that has me thinking is there's a listing for Nintendo switch and a separate one for lite? are they not interchangeable? or different ways to hack the systems?

well the dongles must be different because the jig does not work on lite

 

[matias3ds]

mod3dscard flashcarda and usachipss also have pre-orders, but they are all for 1 dollar which is very strange

And also for secure that its not a stolen credit card

 

[weatMod]

Is there an Estimated time for this products ?

June 15th

Thanks I already preorder preorder for June 15 then :-)

Just to be clear that is an atmosphere joke and he is not serious

We have no eta or further information

i think you are right
looks to me from the Portuguese site that there are 2 different skew numbers so i think it is 2 different devices/solutions

i am guessing these are like skew numbers or something

switch lite Reference: ZYPT191101

mariko Reference: ZYBR191102

Calcio is unknown/unreleased and is a new form factor (and no, it’s not just another dev unit for “new switches”)

In car/airline version maybe?

in car LOL , airline could be
but hopefully the pro or a home /TV only version maybe pro will not even be portable at all

 

[smf]

Why is in car funny? I meant some headrest/roof mounted for back seat passengers, not as an in car entertainment system.

i doubt Nintendo would do that , plus don't you live in UKuck
i know even here they are trying to ban phones form even being in cars now in my state and my state is one of the last ones that allows them still, i can imagine what it is like in oi mate do you got a loicence land , just where would they sell these car switches
maybe to rent a car companies or something but i don't think there is a market large enough for Nintendo to do that, hell even airplane is doubtful the whole point of the thing is portability and taking your personal switch or lite on a plane is part of the selling feature of it
i just don't see it as being a made for transportation industry model

The lite/red box switches are identical hardware. The ipatched OG switches are different. The first two have the same bootloader, the second has a different one (the original one, from the OG switch). This tells you that these pre-order "things" are just bandwagoning off of the original announcement which also erroneously splits the two hardwares (Mariko and Lite) which are identical.

TX has recently taken the time to demonstrate to us some of their Work-In-Progress. Notably for 'patched' and 'mariko' units which is very advanced, and works flawlessly. We were not given a firm date or prices yet, but knowing TX we know the price will be very reasonable. We also saw early beta for Switch Lite console as well.

Also I really don't believe all of these retailers have seen proof and yet zero proof has been shown anywhere else after over a week.

Edit:

This, for example, makes no sense: https://mod-switch.com/inicio/26-nintendo-switch-ipatch-ou-sn-xkj-xkw-desbloqueado.html

Mariko and iPatched units are completely different internals. This is just someone parroting nonsense they've heard second hand.

What ,a joke ? But I pre-ordered 2 already just to support Tx .
Now been real , it would be Mad if we could get Sxos for Switch light . I would then buy one just to play from home to work and work to home , traveling socks and playing games on the phone it's pretty uncomfortable

Couldn't it just be the two different dongles since jigs don't work on lite? And the hack is using a new SX OS?

But if they found a way to hack the litter without a jig why not apply it to mariko? It would make the best sense as they only need to produce one item than producing 2 different items and hoping it sell.

The jig is just an access to RCM on the OG models, it has no actual relevance to the hack itself. If you can build a dongle that does this "automatically" for the Lite, it would also automatically do it for the others and then why would you make it two different products? Just to sink more RnD into a product that might not sell and has no reason to exist? Seems pointless.

But the main point was that the OG model (iPatched) and the Mariko model (Lite/RedBox) have different hardware, it would be quite the 'discovery' to find something that just so easily works universally on both through that port, since they have limited commonalities beyond being called "Switch".

Thx for the explanation, but couldn't it be another hardware exploit since both use the Tegra X1(I know that the old uses the 'Logan' chips and the new 'Mariko') but the hardware is very much alike, so if nvidia screwed up in any way, it could be possible no?

No. Different bootloaders. The "hardware" exploit was still exploiting a vulnerability in the software of the bootloader, it was just that it had to do with the hardbaked bootloader that could not be fixed through any means short of taking your Switch from you.

The bootloader of the new unit was completely re-written, so they'd have functionally nothing in common and sharing a similar attack vector, one would think, would be next to impossible.

And again, splitting "Lite" and Mariko makes no sense.

Well, consider me properly educated in this now. Thank you for explaining this man

will theseguys just give up and wait plus they support piracy! While i'll grant the lack of a virtual console upset me i realized i've got other consoles that do the job so why void the warrenty using third party unliscenced software to potentally fuck up a system i paid alot of money for? and nintendo have full right to brick when your caught?
