Did someone help you with this because I really want to play as Rhea

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


Would you be able to help me play as Rhea

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


How do we use the file to play as some of those characters that we can't play as. I need help hacking so I can play as Rhea
you need to jailbreak your switch and install Custom Firmware to be able to use mods and edit your saves etc. There are many guides and you can find ones on youtube or here.
But you need to make sure your switch is hackable in the first place. You can check the serial code table here on GBAtemp to see if yours can be hacked at all.

So It's possible to hack the game to play as rhea? I just want to make sure I understand because I thought it was not possible to hack it. Thank you for your quick response

You need a hackable unit to decrypt and edit the save, so without that you can't do anything to the save. Since you have a mariko motherboard you either need the SX modchip or get an unpatched unit to hack it.

It is pretty simple in order for you to edit the save, you need CFW access, for Mariko you need SX Core/SX Lite, or you get an unpatched unit, SX modchip is harder to source now a day due to nintendo going after reseller.

My bad I forgot to send you the link. Is this it? Xecuter SX Pro Modchip kit for Nintendo Switch, No Retail Packaging on OnBuy. I appreciate the time you are taking to help me. When I hack my switch how do I hack the game to add Rhea? What are the steps I need to do

thank you. If you find any that are hackable and at a good price then please let me know. I'm very new at this
basically, the first batch of Switch console Nintendo released had a vulnerability that made them very easy to hack. Those of us who bought a switch at this point lucked out. But after Nintendo realized this problem, the second batch of Switches they released came with a new motherboard, which I think started being released years ago already, and this batch, called "Mariko", is very very hard to hack, which is unfortunately what you have.

But this is to be expected since I think most if not all new switch you find in stores like Best Buy will be the Mariko unit or ones that were patched. So you could either do what Hayato213 is suggesting above like getting a SX core which I have no clue how to do or where to get, or you could buy a used Switch that's part of the first batch, meaning it's still hackable through the easy way.

As far as I remember, back when the Mariko units hit the store, the price of second-hand switch soared because they were the only ones that could be hacked. If this is what you what to do, make sure to verify that the serial # actually belongs to that of a non-patched Switch since I'm sure there are scums out there who will try to scam people by selling you a patched switch while pretending that it is not. Or you could just buy a used switch that's already hacked and running CFW.

So unfortunately there is no easy way around for you anymore or method that doesn't involve spending some money and time. And they are the necessary prerequisite for you to do anything that's not doable on a normal switch, such as extracting your saves to your PC, editing it (which is what allows you to import the Rhea character into your FETH save), using mods etc.

Good luck.

Thank. It's hard to find a hacked switch. I check on eBay and you could not see the number.
