    Hardware Amazon lists third party switch pro controller for $30, mid April release

    Most probably. It all depends on what game you are playing and what features you need/want. Even w/o the motion and rumble features I'm still interested at $30. I'd be more interested at $20 but that wont happen for a new system.

    Hardware Connect Switch to laptop monitor?

    Like sarkwalvein said, laptops have no input so unless you have a capture card you will never be able to use a laptop monitor to display an external video source.

    Hardware Do NOT connect USB-C Display

    Good source, in this case I am using all the supplied cables from LG so if something is wrong on that front I'm covered under warranty. I wasn't able to get ahold of LG today and will try again tomorrow. I'm still hoping that it's not a hardware failure and can be reset somehow. There is nothing...

    Hardware eMMC Memory IC is "easily" replacable

    Im talking about overwriting the larger dev emmc completely with the consumer image that included boot0. I've worked with eMMC on the ODroids so I'm familiar with how they work with Arm SoC. It is possible they do something to prevent it, but we wont know that till we try. I don't think anyone...

    Hardware For those suffering from left Joycon issues, soldering a wire will fix the issue.

    Nintendo's recommendations are a blanket to cover all possible types of interference they think might be present. It's their way of not directly admitting there is a problem. In reality the position of your hand and the location of the antenna in the left joycon puts your hand in a position that...

    Hardware Do NOT connect USB-C Display

    Yes but USB-C is a standard. You expect USB-C devices to function according to that standard. Even if they do not support all functions you should be able to expect that no damage would occure as per the specification of the standard...

    Hardware Powerbank with the Switch?

    It has to meet the voltage an amp requirements. As always when you use non-licensed unofficial hardware you take risks into your own hands. See my post on the USB-C display for issues I encountered using unsupported devices. That said if the power meets the requirements and does not exceed them...

    Hardware Do NOT connect USB-C Display

    This is USB-C which transports video. Thats how you get video from your Switch to the dock. I was simply attempting to bypass the doc using a USB-C compatible monitor. One might expect to not get video because of compatibility but you would not expect it to affect the port(s).

    Hardware Do NOT connect USB-C Display

    I will be contacting LG as like Darklrata I suspect the monitor. For the record I used the USB-C to USB-C cable included with the monitor. The monitor appeared to charge the Switch but the switch provided no detectable display. After disconnecting from the switch and reconnecting to my Mac the...

    Hardware Do NOT connect USB-C Display

    I connected my LG 27UD88 USB-C display to the Switch vis USB-C to see if I would get video and it fried the USB-A ports on the Monitor. I'm not sure what Nintendo is doing over the USB-C connector but it is clearly not standard. My monitor is only a few months old so I'm hoping I can get it...

    Hardware eMMC Memory IC is "easily" replacable

    It would be interesting to find an emmc module from a dev unit. Also it'd be interesting to se if you can image one emmc to another and use in the unit the image is from or if there is additional security above and beyond signing. If it's just signing you should be able to use an new eMMC...

    Homebrew Some hacking concepts and links

    I know this is a bit older post but I wanted to add a valuable source of information. "Hacking The Xbox" by Andrew 'bunnie' Huang This is a very in-depth book on hardware hacking. Many of the things have been stopped by including the eeprom inside the CPU now but there is still a lot of...

    Hacking the 3ds will update (better for hackers)

    It may not make things easier but if the update downloads to the SD card before installing it will be a matter of disassembly to learn how updates work. That then may allow for custom firmware. It may also not allow for custom firmware depending on a large number of factors. The first thing that...
