Maybe, or maybe nobody will bother. Interesting times

Chinese cloners do.
And tiny soldering guys also.

It was shown to boot the SX boot loader in the video and that has the option to load external payloads so unless they plan on removing that feature from the SX loader Atmosphere should boot fine.

Micro usb port? tf?

sure, but there is also a version for the older model + ipatched ones

Ok. So it's directly connected to the eMMC connector and seems like that's all. Interesting.
What the heck can they possibly do from there?

How much is the modchip

Frexxos · Jan 9, 2020

Awesome but I thought they wait till the switch pro released.
With 4k and raytracing /s

Hope is easy installation!

My gf got me a second 400 gb micro SD card for my birthday. When this releases and that dragon trinket thing releases (with the three sd card slots), I'm gonna have a hay day

The only thing tx has ever been criticized for was using freely available open source software and selling it while pretending they didn't do that.

The chip itself is fine and people will be happy about it.

Nice, was sad that my classic Switch with cfw went flying from my window because of my angry nephew...time to get a new switch.

If it's solderless and allows cold booting without jigs and USB bullshit, I'm all in.

mattytrog · Jan 9, 2020

Best guess...

RCM is activated (by intercepting eMMC) - Pull your emmc, that activates RCM...

Then, it looks like they are allowing boot0/1/PRODINFO/TSEC/FALCON to do its stuff, as a stock console would, and patching stuff on the fly.

Doing it like this will be solderless. Completely solderless. RCM(via disconnecting / dropping CLK lines), +3v and GND are ofcourse all accessible from the BTB.

No idea why they didn`t go to the D+ and D- USB testpoints though (assuming it is to update payload). That micro-USB is probably unnecessary, but just to allow for "solderless" installations.

microUSB ports are easier/cheaper to mount on PCBs due to their footprint.

I hope the price is raised to include a sxos license, and opens up to any other CFW. That way their audience increases and still sell their licenses, max profit amIrite?

Great work tx!

Obviously fake, their "evidence" is png. Real hackers use tif

I'm more interested where they "claim" their "modchip" connects to.

(I'm being ironic btw)

Stop watching Mr Robot

Let's hope it gets reverse engineered and the method is exposed.

you'll have to give someone money for the hardware...
just like with the dongles, you could use go the easy way and use tx's cool dongle, need to wait a few months for the 3rd party ones, or, need to use your phone/pc each time.
if you want to hack your patched switch ASAP... get this modchip.
if you don't mind waiting a while for the possibility of this getting reverse engineered and reproduced and still having to pay for the product... ok wait. remember how long it took to get piracy without tx

Why reverse engineer when you can boot other payloads from sx os menu?
