Someone spilled the beans earlier today, and took photos of their Switch console with the new TX Switch Modchip installed!

Pictures they say are worth more than 1000 words, and in this case earlier today MaxConsole posted 3 of them, showcasing what appears to be the new TX Switch ModChip installed on console.

From what he agreed to tell us, they are still improving the product on both Mariko and Patched Switch so first shipment will only be after Chinese New Year. Unfortunately a good month away (or more). For information, he added the product also work on unpatched console, so basically all classic models function with this product. Still the product is coming, getting closer, and a separate product for Switch Lite is also underway. I guess we will have to be a bit more patient for more info.

The pictures are only showing part of the installation because he was concerned to be identified by board numbers or such. But he promised he will send us more info in the weeks to come. So probably the next 4 weeks until CNY is over and that we can hopefully also receive our own final review samples!

Let's hope it gets reverse engineered and the method is exposed.

Good stuff! Cant wait until it releases

Damn, it's been a while since I've opened a Switch. That's not the original charging port, right?

Wonder who tx stole this from
/SARCASM for those who don't know what /s means

Interesting, I don't think that we've seen a true modchip since Gen 6. I had thought that consoles had become too complex to be defeated by pure hardware, but I guess that might not have been the case after all. Hardware used to be TX's bread-and-butter, so it'd be fitting if they were the ones to bring it back.

nah looks like its to interface with the board, thats also micro usb not c

Looks like it interrupts the NAND data to allow cfw. So it sits between the NAND and mainboard.

 

[Stealphie]

nice, even though, i don't use SX OS

 

[altorn]

if this isn't stolen..... then it's PHOTOSHOPPED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i still refuse to believe it!!!!!!!

but yeah, congrats to them. I don't need it (yet?) and I'm sticking to Atmosphere but this is a great thing for the community either way!
i probably missed it but will this modchip just allow injection of SXOS? or will there also be a new CFW?

I'm confident they'll lock it out to their own sxos only, not allow for other CFW.

yes, this has been confirmed already.

 

[skydancer93]

If this really works on the Switch Lite, I'm hunting down that Pokemon unit......

 

[Teletron1]

Would have been sweet if they could have added another internal micro sd card slot, but still cool to see there is some sort of solution for now .. any idea how many wires ?

 

[smf]

Obviously fake, their "evidence" is png. Real hackers use tif

I'm more interested where they "claim" their "modchip" connects to.

Spoiler

(I'm being ironic btw)

Oh totally, just a matter of time : )

I just hope that people get other CFW's working on the modchip easily

 

[smf]

Oh totally, just a matter of time : )

Maybe, or maybe nobody will bother. Interesting times

well at least you beat the TX haters into being first to reply for once

Great work TX, looks like this will even shut more or the TX haters up, even some will sell their Soul to TX and buy one

So exciting, TX releases a true hardware modchip. It's like to good old days in the early 00's. I'll get it just to fiddle around and reliving the good old nostalgia.
