Serials beginning with XAJ7:
XAJ70042X and below are safe to buy
XAJ70043X and above not safe to buy, possibly patched
XAJ7005XX and above definitely patched

I took advantage of the recent google express 20% off coupon the other day to get a Switch for my brother's family (for xmas of course). I didn't have high hopes on getting a good one, but my SX Pro works perfectly! The serial numbers listed here don't include anything that starts with XAW7002, but the thread strongly implies that my serial would "definitely be patched". It definitely isn't, and it's on 4.1 (no exfat) to boot.

So, I can go ahead with my original plan to get my bro and his family an SX PRO and a mem card and load it all up with games. They aren't super well off and haven't gotten a new console since his hacked XBOX (original), so I'm sure he'll appreciate it and be plenty comfortable with the hacking stuff. SX Pro plus autorcm is super easy anyway.

I haven't decided yet whether to update to 5.1 with choidujour or leave it on 4.1, and if I should install the exfat update if I do leave it on 4.1. Or, should I try SX's pseudo-"emunand". Also haven't decided whether to set him up with XCIs or NSPs, primarily. Without exfat will he even be able to load XCIs larger than 4gb? And without 5.1 he'll be seriously limited in the games he can play, right?

Both of my switches are on 5.1, using exfat and SXOS with no emunand (one is banned and uses NSPs, the other isn't and uses XCI), so basically I'm debating whether to make his just like mine or try to keep him on 4.1, a setup that I don't really know anything about.

Good for you :grog:

exFat is a must, I guess, since you want to give him/them the ability to play games from SD (at least for the install).
As for the update with choidujour... Yes, 5.1.0 should enable them to play way more games. AutoRCM will also protect them from starting OFW and sending telemetry to Nintendo.
I personaly don't see a reason to go for SXOS as you get all games as NSP's and XCI's don't offer any advantages there, but thats a just me.
Just make sure to make a NAND backup, so they/you can restore it if anything goes wrong.
If possible, tell them to say offline to make extra sure they don't mess something up :D

These 3 are available in the odyssey bundle, I can’t check the firmware etc. I’ve blocked the last 3 digits. Would it be safe to assume these are able to be modded?

I ordered one new Switch, and i don't know it flashable or not.

Serial - XAJ700140XXXXX

Someone give me help?
It should be hackable by FG and it should come with 3.0.0, I HIGHLY recommend you to update your switch via ChoiDujourNX w/o burning these precious efuses, as >=3.0.2 FWs have a chance to get a coldboot exploit. (Or a warmboot exploit, I don't remember if Deja Vu fully works up to 4.1.0).

    also gonna install twilight menu in my r4 flashcard
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    One thing that just occurred to me.... The sound on the 2600 sucked less back then the harsh sound we hear now is from infinitely better speakers we have now, back when the 2600 was new speakers produced a almost muffled sound, like CRTs made old graphics look slightly better.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I wonder if I could recommend that to some emulation devs that perhaps the sound could use some smoothing out to simulate those old TVs
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I think a few of the early systems could benefit from that, at least up to the 8 bit generation, by the 16 bit generation I think TVs had gotten a lot better in almost every way

    it says it only works for the original R4, R4i Gold (r4ids.cn), R4iDSN (r4idsn.com) and Acekard R.P.G.

    nvm it does support mine

    Just give it a try, but honestly if you have a 3DS you can play DS games without a card just off the internal SD card
