Hardware Help buying a new patchable switch

Yoyi1784 · Nov 22, 2018

So I’ve tried several vendors on EBay and none that want to help me in locating a new switch with a corresponding serial number that is patchable.

Also tried a few GameStop’s but I live in south Florida and stock here moves extremely fast.

Can anyone help? Is there a bundle that would for sure be patchable? For example a Mario odyssey bundle? They are expensive on eBay but it seems to be my only option.

Thanks in advance

If you don't care about online play (you shouldn't if you want to use CFW), then you can buy banned systems for cheap here and other places.

Thanks for the link! Exactly what I am looking for!

No interest in online play but for some reason I can’t access that thread. Says I don’t have permission

You need 100 posts to be able to access the trading forum. I can pretty much confirm that you aren't going to be able to find one new in stores. I'd keep searching online or check Craigslist/Facebook trading groups. (The sellers are usually pretty nice and will tell you what the first few digits of the serial number are. Just make sure they haven't updated the system to 6.2.0 if you've found a hackable one.)

Thanks! How about a new Mario odyssey bundle? I see those online.

After reading this post, it seems like there aren't any patched Mario Odyssey bundles. I'd double check with someone knowledgeable like @Draxzelex or post in the aforementioned thread to see if that's the case.

There is nothing more reliable than the serial number. For bundles, we assume that Nintendo does not make any more after they are first available to promote exclusivity and whatnot. Super Mario Odyssey came out around a year ago while patched units started popping up around July of this year but its possible they made more due to how popular the game is. If you haven't had any luck with eBay, you can try Amazon. If nothing else, the trading section is your best bet after you reach 100 posts. Just write some congratulatory posts on certain homebrew applications you'd like to try out.

I’m still finding new unpatched ones from just outside my town in uk. I recommend u go try shops that don’t do high turnover i give the shop the serial range I was looking to buy

I'd guess you mean unpatched switches. For me it looked like you wanted a rcm patched switch which doesnt make sense since you can get them everywhere now.
