Great! Let’s reboot and test using the 90DNS Tester.nro

Hi everyone. I haven’t spoken in here for a LONG time and I’ve recently moved house, where my son dropped my switch beyond repair. I have decided to buy a new one and realised how much the scene has changed since I CFW’d mine so I’m hoping some nice people in here can answer a few questions. I have searched but there is so much to catch up on, I don’t want to head down the wrong rabbit hole.

I previously used an RCM loader with atmosphere on a day one switch. I was planning on getting another older one but finding one local with a suitable serial is proving difficult.

1. Regardless of serial number, can they all be modchipped now? So if I buy a cheap switch on eBay I can be sorted? I have experience soldering so even the oled chip doesn’t seem that bad. From a glance, the non-oled chip doesn’t look that much easier either. (Edit: I’ve bought an oled model since typing this, so this question is irrelevant)

2. When hwfly etc has been installed, is the rcmloader dongle still required to boot?

3. Does it still use a cfw the likes of atmosphere?

That’s definitely strange. Do you still have a /switch directory? It’s complaining that you don’t have any apps in /switch. please send a screenshot of your /switch directory.

Tryed to do 90dns has a folder in wrong place?

Switch_90DNS_tester.nro should simply be copied directly to your /switch/ directory and then instantly available when you restart HB menu.

Everytime switch robots

something is very wrong here. There should only be one file called default.txt In in this directory. The one with two extensions needs to be deleted.

Should that be there?

No it should not.

What is the purpose of this screenshot? We had not talked about touching the ns-hbmenu config directory. Did you add/delete something there? Please provide context.

Finding an older V1 is probably still the easiest path.

1. Regardless of serial number, can they all be modchipped now?

Yes, all V1 (Erista), V2 (Mariko) and V3 (Aula) can be modchipped with enough money and skills. $120 (yank $) + install. Of course you can save some costs of installing by DIY.

So if I buy a cheap switch on eBay I can be sorted?

Yes sir. Proper sorted.

I have experience soldering so even the oled chip doesn’t seem that bad. From a glance, the non-oled chip doesn’t look that much easier either.

OLED is absolutely beautiful but you pay for the beauty at each step. :-)

2. When hwfly etc has been installed, is the rcmloader dongle still required to boot?

No dongle required for a chipped device.

I don’t care about playing online, and don’t play in handheld mode so don’t require an oled console considering they haven’t improved the speed or anything else internally.

But they’re still beautiful.

3. Does it still use a cfw the likes of atmosphere?

Absolutely. At this point Atmosphere stands alone as the only CFW current with Ninty Firmware. No politics.

I know pretty much nothing on Switch hacking in general, but I'm thinking of selling my 2017 day one EU Switch to someone who'd want to hack it (I recently bought an OLED and don't want to do any hack on any of my Switch).
But is it still hackable with the latest official firmware installed (as of this post)?
Or did it actually lose "potential hack value" because of that?

 

[Zap2000]

It’s changing it but I can’t see txt.txt

should there be a emunand txt in there?

that didnt work that 90 dns>


im i ever going to get this working

A day 1 is always hackable. There is no way to patch an unpatched switch…ever.

Look one post up…

@chipshill just happens to be in the market for a V1.

An emmunand txt where? Please be specific and clear.

Switch_90DNS_tester.nro requires no install and no configuration. Simply drop it in the /switch directory and send a screenshot of the /switch directory when you’re done. If we can’t get this working…everything else is much harder. Plus we need to be certain you’re not leaking info to Ninty before we continue Forward.

ok give me a bit of time to get this done the kids are here i post it picures

You have to do usb installer via computer if you want to use FAT32 with game over 4GB. Any installer such as tinwoo, awoo would work fine.

someone in youtube had in atomphere hosts beside the default.txt maybe they have different set up

I see no reason to delete the first line.

Looks like you are booting into E perfectly.




Lets do two more things to be sure.

1) Please check your system serial info (do not paste it here unless it’s zeroed out like this XAW0000000000) to make sure your Prodinfo is in fact being zeroed out.

2) Please install 90DNS tester: https://github.com/meganukebmp/Switch_90DNS_tester and post a screen shot of it running if it is anything BUT all green like you see in the readme.md.

Sure why would my serial be wiped out I didn’t use that method .

 

[Zap2000]

No the full serial number is there
