If it's thin enough and doesn't short any other pins, it should be fine. If you do go the solder route, it's very easy to undo later on as well, so i wouldn't call it "permanent".

I have little experience with soldering. Can you elaborate on the undoing?

You undo by heating the solder again and using a desoldering pump, like this one: https://www.amazon.com/WEmake-WM-SP4-Solder-Sucker-desoldering/dp/B0002KRAAG

That's not what you did. You bent the pins. I'm talking about soldering the TEST PADS above the PINS on the Right Joycon. That's completely safe. Look at the picture that I attached:

Sorry I see you drop a bit of solder on the last two pins in the row on the right hand side Is that correct.

I can see them I have zoomed in on the picture, sure this works all ok? I undid mine now to see but its got a black sponge stuck on it, you cant get it off either I've just tried with some tweezers?

I have one of these and it's garbage.

@OkazakiTheOtaku, I recommend using solder wick and flux to loosen up the solder which will get sucked up by the copper wick.

Fool is too much here.

Preferably speak english already was the punchline. Fool doesnt work as an embellishment..

Im writing this to take a bit of the harshness out, and yes - I'm aware of the irony..

I'm off to the rafters now..

First of all, if you don't know the meaning of something it's best not to say it.

Second, what you posted had nothing to do with the thread so why did you even post.

Lastly, this is an English speaking forum so next time use English.

Fool.

Not sure what you mean by gargabe, as I’ve been using a similar tool for the past 25 years without any issue. And before that, my father and uncle used the same type of tool. Solder pumps have been tried and tested for the past 50 years, so I’ll assume you’re doing something very wrong with it.

I should've been more specific, sorry. I meant specifically the one you posted not the mechanism itself. I bought one and had to send it back and have a new one shipped and it still didn't work. So in my opinion those a garbage.

I didn't mean any offense to your suggestion or post.

I simply suggested solder wick because it's cheap and it really can't fail on you due to no mechanical parts.

Solder Pump? Desoldering Wick? I must be super old-school. I just grab a piece of junk braided wire that's fairly thick, cover that baby up in flux and remove stuffs. I have so much junk wire I don't think I'll ever have to buy a wick even if reduced to solid core.

anyone had luck running psx emu or mgba / gambatte on 5.0.x?

Tonydaexpert · May 11, 2018

Bravo! This summer is gonna be amazing with the games coming and the progression in the hacking scene

Axlfox · May 11, 2018

Huh, well there goes all those threads saying that 5.x would be next to impossible to hack lmao.
Anyways, is there really no way to make the fusee launcher work on windows? I dont have the right cable to connect the Switch on my Android.

no one said it was impossible. It's been known that the papercliphax works on all firmwares. You can already use fusee launcher on windows. In fact you can even use it via a web browser if you wanted to.

I admit I was kind of exaggerating, but I DO remember that as soon as 5.0 released, people argued about the nand being so complex to figure out, it would be better off to wait for a hardmod to be released... or something.

Anyways Im assuming I would still need to connect the switch to my pc to make fusee work, am I correct?

yeah man using a USB A to C cable that is capable of transferring data while having the correct resister for the switch. a good option is the anker cable, pro switch controller cable, or that charging dock cable for the switch. Plug that baby up, load the payload, and load the launcher. Then after that you can wait til the real cfw gets released.

Stock 5.0.x is next to impossible to hack. This works because hekate is patching in at coldboot time replacement loader and sm modules from Atmosphere
