I have just bought a switch with serial XAJ1004132*****

It seems like it might be patched from what i have read on the forums. The firmware is 5.1 and i plan to use the SX PRO dongle + software.

Does having the above serial number mean it will or won't be compatible with this method.

Your Switch is ipatched.

If it's ipatched and on 5.1.0, then it is presently not hackable. It might be hackable in the distant future if you keep it on 7.0.1 or lower (lower is preferred, so keep it on 5.1.0) and never connect it to the internet. However, it could be quite a while before 5.1.0 is hackable on ipatched systems.

I recommend selling or returning this Switch and getting one that is unpatched. Always check the serial number before making a purchase.

If you get an ipatched Switch on 4.1.0, it is also hackable as long as it has never connected to the internet before.

There is also no reason to purchase SX OS. Just about everything you can do on SX OS can be done for free with Atmosphere.

If I buy a switch now ... can I expect a switch with exploitable firmware and hardware or there is no hope?

Always check the serial number for an unpatched Switch before making any purchase. Alternatively, an ipatched Switch on 4.1.0 is hackable, but unpatched is much better.

hi guys,
According to these two site(ismyswitchpatched,damota-checker ) and a post i had read in team-xecuter forum, i bought a switch(JIC: Tennis aces bundle) i was sure the switch is safe so i bought it, BUT after that i saw first post of this forum and i realized my switch is likely patched:sad::sad:.(Serials between XAW10075000000 - XAW10120000000 are possibly patched)
the serial number is xaw100759XXXXX
i ordered a jig but i haven't got yet so i cant send a pay load to recognize it accept it or not,
So PLZ someone tell me, Is my switch patched already or not??

Hi all,

Been following this thread for a while in the shadows and checking the local stores for an unpatched switch. I've found only two so far. One is XAJ40049*** and other XAJ40052***. Both of which are in the possibly patched bracket. Not sure if I should wait or just get one of them considering only one switch was patched on the spreadsheet which was <=XAJ40053.

Just posting my anxieties. Thank you

  • XAJ40049 is likely unpatched.
  • XAJ40052 is likely unpatched.
Either one should be good. If it's a choice between the two, get the XAJ40049.

@Lacius Thank you for your reply. And yes, good news is both those are unpatched. Me and my friends bought three switches and successfully got 0x7000 while using biskeydump. Checking through the other threads on this forum to know what to do next. Think we are going to start with a full backup using Hekate and figure out how to get emunand running. Below details.

    @Psionic Roshambo, idk
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    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
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    i dont have an sd card adapter but I have an usb sd card adapter
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Old people games
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    its not the one that comes with the r4
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    doesnt work (my flashcard is from r4isdhc.com)
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    might install ysmenu first
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Try Wood firmware
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    For your R4
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @Psionic Roshambo, why?
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    It's old but it's the best firmware out for DS stuff
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    it says it only works for the original R4, R4i Gold (r4ids.cn), R4iDSN (r4idsn.com) and Acekard R.P.G.
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    nvm it does support mine
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    but why choose it over ysmenu @Psionic Roshambo?
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    bc im stupid?
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    yea ik im stupid
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    good night
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    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
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Slightly slower loading but a bit more convenient
