The second someone posts a video on how to use this jig I bought, is the very same second I will "hack" my Switch.

Haven’t yet done any hacks for the switch, plan to once atmosphere is formally released most likely. Hoping it’ll be a permanent solution where we don’t have to keep manually entering RCM mode every (re)boot.
At that point I’ll get a 256gb micro SD to be future proof for a while, wait out the substantial homebrew of my liking, that being (gamecube) emulation and of the like, expanding the functionality of my switch.

Not sure if I'm gonna hack my Switch at all.
So far I've hacked nearly nearly every console I've owned.
I've noticed that when piracy becomes available I downloaded lots of games but instead of playing more I actually play less.

I really enjoyed the xbox (classic) and the PS3 hacking and I think I loved the hacking more then then games I gained through it.
With the Switch I'm really loving the games atm.

This may change.


For now the earliest I'll hack my Switch is when a limited edition switch comes that I really want or a Switch 2.0 comes.
Then I'll transfer everything to the new one and use the old one for hacking.

User participation thread still going strong.

Again - if for some reason talk in here should die down, here is your next user participation question to keep it going. As always, you can parttake in it without actually knowing a thing.

Here it is:

"Once you've hacked your Switch, when will be the first day you'll take it on a walk in the park?" Please discuss. And remember, you might want to be among the first, or you might not want to be among the first - either answer is best. You do you.

I'm very interested in your answers. Please share them in the comments below.

edit: Should this turn out to favor the average usecase scenario of "I wait a little, then I do something", this also will be best.

Or if someone puts up a poll with actual pickable answers - the one that would win in that would be best. Obviously.

What I'd actually be interested in - now that you've gotten all kinds of different answers imaginable, and everyone feels better, because he/she could voice what they would do, without knowing any of the specifics of the upcoming releases - has this helped you in any way?

What answer would you go by?

- The most common one?
- The one that urges you to take some kind of "in the middle" approach?
- The one that says - be first?
- The one that says, whenever a youtube tutorial with "most easy way" in the title comes out?
- The one that says, that they'd buy another Switch, when Nintendo releases it in a new color or print, and then do whatever is popular at the time, probably?

- The ones, that have the word piracy in them? (Finally they could tell people what they were waiting for!)
- The ones that said, that waiting is probably best - let others deal with problems, they don't have, because they didn't hack?

- The second software solution (whatever that is at this point)?

Any answer you'd prefer? Everyone has a good point, I presume?

Oh, and dont worry about the "walk in the park" part. Thats meta. Probably too meta.

(What I've learned so far is: No wonder every youtuber is asking the public for something he's very interested in getting answered by a bunch of random people - the participation numbers are astonishing...)

    yall im torn... ive been hacking away at tales of phantasia GBA (the USA version) and have so many documents of reverse engineering i've done
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I just found out that the EU version is better in literally every way, better sound quality, better lighting, and there's even a patch someone made to make the text look nicer
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    Do I restart now using what i've learned on the EU version since it's a better overall experience? or do I continue with the US version since that is what ive been using, and if someone decides to play my hack, it would most likely be that version?
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    @TwoSpikedHands, I'll preface this with the fact that I know nothing about the game, but, I think it depends on what your goals are. Are you trying to make a definitive version of the game? You may want to refocus your efforts on the EU version then. Or, are you trying to make a better US version? In which case, the only way to make a better US version is to keep on plugging away at that one ;)
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    I'm not familiar with the technicalities of the differences between the two versions, but I'm wondering if at least some of those differences are things that you could port over to the US version in your patch without having to include copyrighted assets from the EU version
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    @Sicklyboy I am wanting to fully change the game and bend it to my will lol. I would like to eventually have the ability to add more characters, enemies, even have a completely different story if i wanted. I already have the ability to change the tilemaps in the US version, so I can basically make my own map and warp to it in game - so I'm pretty far into it!
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I really would like to make a hack that I would enjoy playing, and maybe other people would too. swapping to the EU version would also mean my US friends could not legally play it
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I am definitely considering porting over some of the EU features without using the actual ROM itself, tbh that would probably be the best way to go about it... but i'm sad that the voice acting is so.... not good on the US version. May not be a way around that though
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I appreciate the insight!
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @TwoSpikedHands just switch, all the knowledge you learned still applies and most of the code and assets should be the same anyway
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    and realistically they wouldn't

    be able to play it legally anyway since they need a ROM and they probably don't have the means to dump it themselves
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    why the shit does the shitbox randomly insert newlines in my messages
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It does that when I edit a post.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It inserts a newline in a random spot.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    never had that i don't think
