Can't see this making any difference at all. At worst they'll take down the service from their website but still advertise elsewhere. It's a scare campaign by Nintendo more than anything.

ordered from txswitch. Took exactly one week to arrive. Shipping cost 3.99

Any news about SX Lite? Does it ship already, and from where should I order?

 

[Litvinkov]

I just had a paranoid thought - the chips that are bought from aliexpress, still come with sx os license right? They're not gonna be banned by tx?

Also, can someone else confirm about the bulge that you get in the back of the console after installing the chip? (Someone here mentioned it) That can't be the intended look. If you install it correctly, will there still be a bulge?

I have this same question about the bulge. The guy from this video tried something different (11 minutes mark):


I could do that if that helps with the bulge (if there's any, of course).

I don't see why they would ban like licenses for chips sold on AliExpress.

As for the second question, I've watched some installs and I can't see why it would buldge if installed correctly. Maybe someone piled up the solder too much on their anchor points or used an excess amount of thermal paste in reassembly.

Has anyone tried the install with gel flux? I don't have any liquid flux on me right now.

That guy drives me nuts. Doing all that with the damn paste globed on his finger.

No more void than taking everything else out and putting a modchip in it.

It says in the manual that you have to cut the metal shield (they call it the nvidia shield ). I thought it was a small cut to slip the ribbon but what this guy cuts could be what is expected to make room for the whole modchip+nand.

I'm on firmware 9.2, I never configured the wifi. Should I update before adding the chip of wait and do it offline with choi?

If you use choi on a mariko unit it will brick 100%

Then what will be the proper way to update the firmware once the chip is installed ?

 

[Deleted User]

One alternative is their very own SXInstaller

Currently with HOS

I'm sure apps are coming or CHOI will be updated to detect Mariko.
