Nope. Since RCM also requires the button combination, soldering/bending/shorting the pins permanently do not affect the console or the controllers.View attachment 121210 Does leaving the home button hardmod soldered in the joy-con affect battery life or any thing else?
It will cause an increase in power consumption, since power is always going through pin 10, but it should be unnoticeable as there won't be much current.View attachment 121210 Does leaving the home button hardmod soldered in the joy-con affect battery life or any thing else?
Source?Yes, it affects anything else.
As in, it can be detected by software.
It might be used to ban you.
Source to what?Source?
which means no sourceSource to what?
That it can be detected by software? It just registers as a hidden button, it can be read. At least that was the answer I got somewhere around the forums here.
That it can be used to ban you? Sure it can be done if they want, they only have to read that the button is always pressed and take action.
if it is first time soldering, remove the whole board from the joycon disconnect and everything you can (to get enough space).Tomorrow I'll be soldering the pcb (waiting for the triwing to arrive home from amazon). Just one question: is it hard to do? It's gonna be the first time I solder anything lol
Thanks for the advice... And what will be more difficult? Soldering the two on the left (on the board, which seem bigger) or the right ones?if it is first time soldering, remove the whole board from the joycon disconnect and everything you can (to get enough space).
This might help you a bit.

Personally, I think that the pins on the right side. You have much less space there and I like to have some room for soldering. But it would work the same.Thanks for the advice... And what will be more difficult? Soldering the two on the left (on the board, which seem bigger) or the right ones?
It's a hidden button reserved for use by the X1 bootrom. There's no reason for it to be detectable via the Switches own OS. And unless Nintendo wants to risk plowing every pour soul, innocent or not, in the crusade for a hack-free world, I doubt they'd go that far.Source to what?

Reminder: ShofEL2 cannot be patched in existing units (it will work on *any* firmware, past or future), it allows full access (all keys and secrets), and it is completely undetectable by normal software. You can dual boot Linux and Switch OS with impunity
I'm not the best solderer in the world, but I've done my share. I think soldering on the right is *much* easier, but you'll need a fine tip for your soldering iron (which to be fair you'd need for soldering on the left too).Thanks for the advice...

Not true.Some people have said that leaving pin 10 shorted cancels handheld mode and limits you to bluetooth only.
Would love to see proof as I'm pretty confused who to believe at this point.Not true.
