Hacking Are you looking to hack your Switch?

[Arkangelshadow]

Snes/Mame/GBA/N64, etc. Emulators for 3.0.2 with multiplayer support would be nice to have for now. I'm waiting for that at the moment. Piracy can wait another year.

Get a PS3 for less than 100 dollars if you watch to play them so bad

the ps3 isnt portable, the entire appeal of the switch is portability, no handheld had console quality games before switch except maybe gamegear

Id rather soft modded switch, but I think until the end of its firmware lifeline hardmodding is going to be superior. If hardmod is done well updating shouldn't be a problem. Softmods your going to miss out on something for at least sometime at the moment, weather its the virtual consoles they bring in the future, or some other useful utility, even if its temporarily. Until the switch updates stop adding cool new things, soft modding is going to always be behind. Disadvantage to hardmodding obviously is their is a risk if you don't know what your doing, and otherwise its going to cost you money. This all depends on how well team X delivers of course .

 

[TotalInsanity4]

It really depends, but I'm probably going to use whatever method is available first, so long as the price isn't exorbitant. That means that I'll probably end up buying the TX modchip once it releases

I don't own a Switch, but I chosen the 1st option since I'm saving money for a Switch when backups are possible since I don't have money and I'm currently unemployed...

I'd like to but it's not a priority. My Vita covers my handheld emulation needs with the exception of N64 and higher.

If the supposedly 'unpatchable' method recently rumoured is as good as it sounds, then it would be the way to go. But I'm not prepared to keep my Switch on an older firmware because my Switch is my daily driver for all my gaming.

 

[Wabsta]

Nope. Not since I graduated and got a job to be honest.

For softmodding: it just isn't worth the hassle. I work full-time and when I come home I want to play games. Not figure out how to softmod, while keeping up to date with the methods and updates.

For a hardmod: no, I can afford games easily now and I will continue to buy them to support the development (being a software engineer myself: piracy sucks, man).

BUT:
Ask me again in ~4 years, around the end of its life-span (?) and my answer will probably change.

(Oh and about homebrew: I'm just not that interested. I have my 3DS for emulation (which does have a CFW) and that's about all the homebrew I need. The last good homebrew game I saw was Video Games Hero for the NDS)

 

[SkittleDash]

Not going to mod mine, even if I got a chance to. I don't believe the Switch deserves to modded this early into its life-span.

That doesn't stop it from being modded though so why miss out? Seems pretty counter productive.

Vita, but besides that I agree with your point lol.

 

[Yoni Arousement]

I'd look to softmod my Switch later in the system's lifespan, or after softmods become easy enough and are thoroughly tested.

 

[The Real Jdbye]

I'm not opening my Switch and voiding my warranty, so I'm just going to play the waiting game for a softmod.

you be waiting a long time

 

[The Real Jdbye]

That's impossible to tell. Anyway, I don't mind buying games.

For now I prefer to wait for the scene to mature. In the meantime, I will keep the console updated if necessary to play online.
PS: I do not understand why the last option in the survey. The question, as how it is stated, clearly is for those who already have the console.

 

[Asia81]

I don't have a switch yet, I wait for the 2.0 model (there have always been one, look ds lite, xl versions of dsi and 3ds, gba sp...).
Once I got one, I'm planning to wait for a full cfw solution allowing me for free games, or a modchip if not too much expensive.

Not everyone here own a switch, like me.
Currently waiting for a warez solution.

A CFW solution for early firmwares is very likely to be available before a modchip.

Yes, I know. But what i mean is that people like you may vote that “is waiting for a software solution” instead of “i don have a switch”. So the 4th option does not let us know some opinions.

 

[darcangel]

my switch just arrived... 3.02 =/
Guess I will be playing Zelda now

 

[blinkzane]

This is biased and should not be placed in the switch/hacking section and in a more neutral zone.
