[QUOTE="stitchxd, post: 8635566, member: 421708"] If you have Amazon available, you can get an RCM jig for less than $10 USD. If it boots into RCM with it you are GOLDEN for hacking. That is where I would start. IDK If this will ship to you, I think it is worldwide, this device ([URL]https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07J9JJRRG/[/URL]) is what I use daily and can personally vouche for it. [B]Once you can confirm RCM works, you will need:[/B] - A CFW of choice (Popular ones are Atmosphere and SXOS. One is open source, the other is a paid "product" respectively.) - An SD Card (if you plan to play emulators, and have a collection of *owned* ROMs I recommend at least 256GB, if you plan to emulate and use..... downloaded NX games, I would try to get a 500GB SD Card or more (NX games can get big.)) - SDCard MUST be formatted as FAT32. People use exFAT here but exFAT is easily corrutable with homebrew. (To note, 9/10 devs will NOT help you if you use exFAT formatted SDCard and it ends up losing your data. It's just not stable on the switch right now.) - A way to inject the payload (USB-C cable, android app, or RCM Payload injector device) - Some time. Once you figure the above out, I recommend following a tutorial. Running Atmosphere is as simple as putting the files on the SDCard, and putting the switch in RCM then injecting the payload. [B]Recommended homebrew:[/B] - RetroArch (Emulators!) - NXMTP (Make your computer see the switch as a storage device via USB) - EdiZon (Save Editor / Backup tool) - FTPD for Switch (Transfer files to switch via network.) - GCDumptool so you can avoid legal issues with illegal game dumps (If you plan on playing pirated games DO NOT GO ONLINE WITH ANY OF THEM INSTALLED!!) - NX-Shell (File manager for Switch) - NXTheme (Theme installer) - Not a homebrew, but a good tool is setting your DNS in switch's network settings to use 90DNS servers will help with a lot of the below warnings too. [B]Once you boot CFW, if you want to avoid getting banned do not go online while in CFW. [/B] [B]***ALSO NOTE: once you boot cfw there will always be a small chance of ban, even if you boot to OFW (in some cases, not always? I have been online with mine for 8 months now, no issues - but I also have no pirated NSP's or NSP forwarders installed.) If you plan on being offline this wont matter, but avoid going online with it at least while in cfw.[/B] [/QUOTE]

I rather enjoy a life of taking it easy. I haven't reached that life yet though.

I feel like school, back when I was actually in school, was more entertaining though, because of how much I get to interact with people, hang out with friends, and other stuff like that. All I get to talk to at work is my boring coworkers lol
