MaxConsole Posts photos of the new TX Switch modchip

Someone spilled the beans earlier today, and took photos of their Switch console with the new TX Switch Modchip installed!

Pictures they say are worth more than 1000 words, and in this case earlier today MaxConsole posted 3 of them, showcasing what appears to be the new TX Switch ModChip installed on console. :)
From what he agreed to tell us, they are still improving the product on both Mariko and Patched Switch so first shipment will only be after Chinese New Year. Unfortunately a good month away (or more). For information, he added the product also work on unpatched console, so basically all classic models function with this product. Still the product is coming, getting closer, and a separate product for Switch Lite is also underway. I guess we will have to be a bit more patient for more info.

The pictures are only showing part of the installation because he was concerned to be identified by board numbers or such. But he promised he will send us more info in the weeks to come. So probably the next 4 weeks until CNY is over and that we can hopefully also receive our own final review samples!

I think RCM is being used. At least to "partially" corrupt the stack, to allow something to be pushed.(this would explain the further problems and delays that are occuring of Mariko). Then the SX firmware needs to hijack what it needs, ie bis keys etc... before TSEC payload is destroyed.

I'm far from an expert on higher level stuff, but I said previously that it could be relying on glitching. However rather than glitching GPIO(as we know it) it is glitching the emmc bus. Something is making the stack at least partially collapse, pre falcon)...

All will be revealed I guess.

I think they are so so close with Mariko, but results are inconsistent. Two different approaches for the different SoC.

Fair play to them for investing the dollars needed to prototype such hacks.

A lot of us probably have a decent knowledge, but lack the means to buy stuff for testing. Especially if it's going to be Foss.
The Tegra would still need a signed payload to boot anything. I think this mod will bypass RCM completely. The console will boot as if loading OFW, BIS keys used to load OS from eMMC, then that board between eMMC and mainboard will do sorcery.

I have a revised switch and pokemon switch lite. I kept the revised switch just in case of this and I might get one more for backup once this comes out as a backup.

also FYI for people waiting for this, I would get a switch asap or at least once this is release as I bet they patch it real quick

Haha nice one TX - I'm sure a few Atmos fan boys are now in full meltdown, knowing that they might need to buy a TX product if they have a new Switch.....it will be fun to watch a few on here eat their own words.

not only eat their own words, hopefully they'll choke on them harder then they do in their recreational time.

--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------

it wont fit properly with the heatshield it'll make the case bulge

there are a lot of users on here who wouldn't mind a bulge.

As told before in this post, the previous video shows that cfws can be loaded. It makes no sense the mod only loads sx os. There is others cfws and lot's of people prefer them instead of sx os.
And where have you seen it only loads sx os.

Obviously tx arent going to promote a different cfw than their own.

Thats so fucking retarded, you dont see nintendo advertising fucking halo do you.

I cant see tx changing the os, it would be too much hastle and mean habing to do 2 os versions, one for current dongle/os users with the os menu to boot other payloads.

Then the hard mod blocking that feature.

All these idiots spitting their fucking hate, un educated idiots, that seem to forget from day one tx have given you the option to boot your owm choice of cfw.

Fuck sake they even release sx gear for n00b users that didnt know how to make their own mod and inject payload and those that wanted a simple plug/play option.

So why all of a sudden are idiots thinking sx block users choice

Read the comments in this tread and the previous about this modchip and you see the comments.

Ive seen many people spouting crap that has not been confirmed yet they act as if it is.

Educated guess, this will be exactly the same, difference been the exploit that boots sx os menu then sx cfw.

Anyone fail to see the video, its menu is exactly the same.

So why people are instantly jumping to the conclusion that this will only boot sx os, with no solid facts.

Other than i bet theyre the same old ax hating trolls that have to litter sx threads with their bullshit.

Another sensible thing to think about, why would tx go to the trouble of making a different os for the hardmod and block its already provided feature from day one, to boot your own payload.

End of the day tx make their money because customers have to buy it as theirs nothing else out there for these systems.

So id bet that its extremely likely this hardmod will come with the exact same features as we already have now.

So users could click options/payloads and boot their own payload.

It might already be patched on the new hardware, even if TX managed to buy some that are unpatched to develop it on.

That is all part of the game.

You can still find unpatched units in some countries a friend got one from spain a few month ago and didnt known that it was unpatched .I made her bought a SxOs pro Asap and installed .
Theres a lot of unsold units of switch common or unpatched , so dont rush

Guys, you're all taking each others bait. Stop it yeah, let's not have ANOTHER fuck flamewar, it's getting ridiculous.

OT: pretty cool. Hopefully a clip, or really easy to solder into the system, and high reliability.

Three of the same console. Do you really like the Swtich THAT much? Seems like a waste of $ imo.

As a person with a wife and kid I see it as money well spent :-) But to be honest its not as much as you think if you watch ebay and just pickup a used main unit and some of the china made pro controllers.

Maybe have a rule, if your a free cfw user or sx hater refrain from flaming the threads.

Sx users dont do it in the cfw threads they like.

It really is pathetic, weve gone from haters saying its all fake, no such thing because theirs no pics or vidoes.

Then when a video suefaced, still the haters flamed

Now pics have surfaced and yet again they still flame.

Haters claiming to know facts, when at the moment test units are only given to a small circle of people, information has not been given by them nor tx, so how the hell these haters claim to have negative facts is purely bull shit.

I have leaked information regarding this modchip. You will mount it to the onboard storage of the Nintendo Switch as a replacement, not an addition. The onboard storage will act normally besides being patched to run pre-loaded games in an account that already has all (at the time, anyway) licenses for the games available on the system at launch date. It's similar to the HDD cloning "hacks" that allowed pirated games on other systems. Also, everyone who buys this is a thief and will get butt raped in prison.
