Possible SX Switch modchip clones appear on Taobao marketplace

e3Qc7ix.jpg

A challenger approaches, as a possible imitation product based on Team Xecuter's SX Core modchip has surfaced online. The discovery was initially posted to Chinese webforum Baidu, in which two images were uploaded, with claims of them being clones of SX Core. Supposedly, this knockoff chip would support Atmosphere CFW for the mariko and ipatched Nintendo Switch variants by soldering it exactly like you would with the SX Core. These clones have already appeared on Taobao and Xianyu, though they're currently priced at 700 Yuan ($108 USD) at the cheapest. While they may have "secretly shipped" off to various retailers to sell, it's still unknown as to whether or not these chips work, or if they're reliable. No word has been made as to whether or not the same mystery team has also cloned the SX Lite chips that have Switch Lite support, either.

New chips have appeared. Recently, Xianyu (Chinese retailer) has a batch of chips that can be bought in large quantities, which only support atmosphere, which is different from the previous tx chips. The imitated chips have already been secretly shipped.

Does anyone know why these don't work on patched Erista models?
Is it a Spacecraft-NX limitation? Because afaik SX OS did run on these models no?

EDIT: Is it even true what I'm saying? I can't find that note anywhere now but I'm sure I read this somewhere :unsure:

Does anyone know what is to be flashed to the hwfly chip? Mine came preflashed and worked properly until I updated to 12.0.3 today. Since then it boots straight to OFW without the hekate menu. Atmosphere and hekate are on the latest versions which have full support for 12.0.3. I've tried rebooting a few times etc but to no avail. I'm thinking I might just flash spacecraft-nx to it and see if that works?

I have read that the new hwfly chip cannot be flashed at the moment although an external USB port is part of it.

Also it is working *only* with Mariko units....

Can anyone help me?
I know I need to get 100 posts in order to access to the trade forum, but isn't there an easier way to know the chip price?

They got for $60-$200 - Averaging $110 - They are sold out or very low quantities of clones.

Ali ex press.

About 180USD shipped from Europe.
JFC , I wonder how much my chipped lite is worth these days
I figure $200 for the lite plus $200 for the SX lite plus $100 for instalation
plus $200 because you can not even get a chip for a lite

Not too much for switch lite I guess, here in Brazil the stores have some chip stock yet for the lite model, they are selling for $140 plus the installation(normally $40-$50 here with the hardmodders)
