Hacking Fusee - Launcher Released

[leerpsp]

This is the pic of "bentpinhax" if you want to mod the joycon instead.. I'm not brave enough to try it in case the pin breaks off.

I think your right about the pin braking off i think i will stick with the wire or something along the lines of that and hope that a cfw comes out to were i no longer need a computer/short the pins.

is there any chance of not sacrifice my joycons ??? i am poor so i dont want to buy another, they are really expensive on Mexico

Modchip. Not cfw. The entire thing we just talked about is to load the cfw thats currently worked on (= its one way to load the cfw).

I think a 3d printed adapter is not a bad idea so you don't have to risk your Switch or joycon. My screwdriver method worked fine but I wouldn't want to do it too many times as it's bound to damage the pins eventually..

Start reading, guys.

On the previous page there are two methods described (shorting the pins with a screwdriver without bending anything, using a plastic dongle "with metal parts" fail0verflow tweeted about) that don't require any bent pins. And the guy posting the picture even discuraged you from doing it - saying he has done so differently.

If we are having a "I can not understand anything past a short sentence that has my name in it" problem again, please understand, that some of us would like to talk about things without having to answer "but how does this affect me - Bob - please answer in the most easy way" questions every second posing, when someone feels like interrupting again.

The information is already there - just read it.

PRO TIP OF THE DAY: You dont have to bend anything, to short two pins. Turns out electricity flows through other things than just pins (screwdrivers, metal thingies, your head, ...) that can be used to - temporarily - bridge the gap.

grumpy lad above is right, read at least a little.

I Have a 3d printer and an extra micro sd card to sd card adapter so i'll get to work on one of them when i get up. I would do the screwdriver thing only if i had to do it just one time but if i'm gonna have to do it a wile Id better be safe then sorry. By the way it looks like we may have the same computer monitor or at lest close.

I was thinking you used that screwdriver to bind the pin on the joycon as it looks like it can be done with out taking it apart.

Do you know if binding pins 9 and 10 will render the joycon unusable?

I was told on the last page that it should still work as it does now. But really if you think about it and read the last 2 pages on what was talked about it would be better to do it some other way as you may end up having to pick up an extra joycon if you brake a pin or something.

The inside of the joycon looks wide enough to just tape a small jumper wire if the pins are fragile of breaking, and if inexperienced with soldering.

Using deductive logic - probably not. If the question "can it be charged that way" is going around in dev cycles this indicates that "can it be used" is not an issue prima facie.

That said, bending pins will not be a practical solution for the mainstream audience. If you are trusting someone who is selling you "bending pins services" - don't. There are assertments, that this can be done with a cheap 1 usd or less plastic dongle (let it be 4 usd for folks in the west, thats also below the point where we think about purchases), just as well - and "semi-permanently" by opening the switch.

That said - its not the goldilocks be all end all solution that just boots into CFW from coldboot, but its somewhat practical for most folks (might depend how long you want your switch in standby), and can be done without opening the console.

Bigger stumbling point right now is, if the exploit can be triggered without tethering the switch via usb as well. Using this method.
(If someone has that information please share... )

Also I swear I will give up on humankind - as soon as people start selling joycons with prebent pins on ebay.

Can anyone (@ktemkin ?) please confirm whether running the launcher on a Mac requires a USB 3.0 port or works with a USB 2.0 port? My mac is 7 years old...

If i would have to take a guess i would say no its just usb 3.0 is faster then 2.0 so it would just be at a slower speed.

More to do with the drivers I think, f0f's writeup (iirc, there's been a whole bunch of writeups since yesterday) said something about a USB 3 driver specifically, but I don't think that was for Mac platform. Just looking for solid confirmation if possible.

It's not that it needs USB3, but moreso an xHCI (extensible host controller interface) to work.

i need a usb a to c cable to test fusee?

You need C to A ,

I think you could probably also use a USB-C to USB-C cable and a late model MacBook Pro... if you prefer.

Can you elaborate on what that means re: it working on a mac with only usb 2.0? Ta

i have a c male to a male

when i connect my switch to my pc nothing happens is normal?
