Hacking How/When will you hack your switch for the first time??

Already played with Linux on mine a week ago.

Will play a lot with Atmosphere once it's out!

Once the method to do so doesn't requiring tinkering with the Joycons or shorting out anything, i.e a softmod, I'll be happy to

The first wave of stuff will probably be somewhat unstable. I don't wanna risk it. Yet.

I'm probably gonna wait a while for things to smooth out, maybe hack my stuff some time in December.

I hacked my 3DS on the "second wave". Didnt even know about the "first wave". How was it? Why is it separated? Was there any problem with the first wave going to the second?

Anyway, gonna do it with a noob friendly CFW/guide. I know my stuff but im not confident enought to do it as soon as it comes out.

4.5 with spider/MSET. 9.0/2 was blown open, as with 11.

I believe there was the addition of Miiverse and a few other notable changes that prompted others to want the update.
Plus, the money. Initially 3DS was wayyyyyy overpriced, so not too many folks had one; by the time 9.0/2 rolled around, there were more owners of a 3DS, so millions of people missed out on 4.5. Hell, I jumped on the 3DS bandwagon around 7.whatever after giving up on 4.5.

TL;DR, reasons.

As for when I'll hack Switch, Soon™ (ya tu sabe.) A.K.A., you already know.

I actually plan to buy two or three more Switch units (one for my ladyfriend, one for official online, and one for MarcusD, if he should agree to give back to the community), so I'll deal with it as it rolls out, but I'm definitely getting a TX jig for "girlfriend-mode".

 

[RHOPKINS13]

I've already run the fusée geleé sample payload and I've run several of the Linux images floating around. I'm eager to try out Atmosphére on day one!

 

[x65943]

on the 3ds I had gateway, early hacking, and followed along to the very end.

Already ordered my jig

I think I will wait for things to become completely safe before hacking. Worse case scenario I don't want to brick my switch to the point I can't even install ofw. By the way, if you mess something up while in the cfw, is there a way to install nintendo ofw afresh?

cfw isn't released yet - so we can't really say.

 

[Xandroz]

first thing that will make me play mario karts.

1.0.0 here so missing on alot

 

[CallmeBerto]

I'm more of a wait and see kind of guy. I will see what comes out and will make my decision based on how easy it is to setup and what limitations there are. I don't care for piracy; what I really care about is the homebrew the community will create.

 

[the_randomizer]

Once I hack the Switch, gonna take some pics and videos and troll Nintendo's Twitter account, just to prove hackers do what Nintendont.

 

[lincruste]

I'm waiting for Plailect to publish a guide.

This. I'm also waiting to see what the disciplinary action may be for those who modify their systems. I'd still like to access eshop.

When I feel it's actually worth doing

 

[Tigran]

I modded my second switch for emulators and such.. but I'll be honest... If I can get the official classics on an unhacked system... That's the way I'll go.

Saving will work better *yes.. I know saves DO work on Retroarch* and games are less likely to crash.

I'm following every bit of progress here for months (if not years) and everything new that happens to the Switch kinda makes me happy and hyped, even if I don't intend to use it (like KDE for Linux for example).
Of course I would join the "game" once the CFW is out but I'm the kind of guy that waits at least a few days to see if there are any risks or damages popping up (being it hardware issues like the LCD thing with Switch Linux or software issues like the battery sync in Switch Linux or if people getting banned for unknown reasons on Horizon OS while using the CFW). I kinda feel bad to "abuse" all day one people as "beta testers" but I'm trying to find a good balance between using all the nice stuff as soon as possible and lowering the risk as much as I can.
However I have great confidence for SciresM and his team that they take care of many things before giving the public green light so I guess I won't have to wait too many weeks once Atmosphère is bootable.

I'll hack my Switch once something useful is released.

Loading Linux is more a proof of concept (*cough* proof of hacking) more than it is useful.

There isn't any homebrew out there that I consider useful. With useful I consider something that will improve the experience or increase the capabilities of my Switch.

I'd prefer a softmod solution and if possible "untethered". I'd go as far as the joycon hardmod, but I don't want to mess around and open up my Switch. So as soon as something like this is available, I'll hack my Switch. Before that, there is no point.

I will hack my switch (hard-mod with soldering +magnet-switch because it's super awesome!!!) the day:

A: Atmosphere is out, and we can run our own homebrews with it (with GPU support pl0x!)

B: Android is (stable, with user-friendly touch support) out. (... I would be happy with Chrome OS, too btw..)
