Gotcha prob best to avoid buying a faulty switch then

Im still hoping that an unpatched switch miraculously turns up on facebook lol
Be a lot cheaper than ebay
just go check the serials in all your local game stores. thats what iv done. not hard to find a unpatched v1 locally where I live. but I also live in a metroplex of 6.5mil people.

If you find that you aren't able to use the switch when you want to then I say you should buy another one! I personally have 5 (technically 1 main switch and 4 others I'm selling) so I never really ran into the issue of not being able to play the switch when I wanted to. If I did though, I probably would just buy another one and justify the unit I no longer use as a gift haha.

Yes definitely get a 2nd switch, I personaly have 3 switch and I love each of them. The OG switch for modding purposes and playing around with homebrews and custom OS such as android. OLED Switch for playing legit games and a switch lite to play on the go

I got two v1 Switchen, one is in the box and the other is fully hacked. When the Switch came out, I wanted an extra official power adapter, set of joycons, and an extra dock to take apart and create a smaller one. So instead of buying all that separate I simple forked out an extra 100 euro and bought a second Switch.

I actually did the opposite and sold my OLED docks & accessories away to recuperate some cash

Interesting thread thanks for the inputs

Ive decided to invest into a second switch that i also want to mod

My current switch is modded, got about thirty games or so on there.

Is there an easy Way for me to actually install all of the games from the old switch to the new?

Otherwise i got them saved on my pc
And i guess i could use tin woo installer but it will take ages.

Just wondered if there are any tips on how to approach this situation
Would be interesting to know if there is some way to clone my existing sd card but im guessing that is off of the menu

I have 3.

V2 for my son - 100% legit
V1 (I broke it trying to do hardware mods…still trying to fix). 100% hacked
V2 for me…needed Something to play while I fix my V1. 100% hacked

Out of curiosity, what's wrong with the V1? I mean what did you break when trying to mod it?

I got the wise idea to notch the pcb to make room for the Trinket M0 wires to go to cleanly go to the back side. Multilayer boards apparently don’t like when you do that and will let the smoke out of multiple components.

I’ve since bought a ”D - condition“ board from eBay and am wrapping up the swap out…hopefully tonight but realistically this weekend.

No way that I’m aware of…too board specific signatures and such to deal with. Easier to just install over USB. DBI with MTP is super fast!
