I just want to test my Switch, it's supposedly an unpatched unit, but I got it used from an EB Games which refurbishes them, and I was told that sometimes they send the Switches to Nintendo to refurbish and I'm not sure whether or not Nintendo can perform iPatches after the manufacturing process. Is there a test payload I can use just to confirm my Switch is unpatched?

The Switch Guide says use hekate, does it work with 8.1.0 and can I back out of the process by turning it off until I can get a larger microSD?
You can use hekate, you don't need any files in the sdcard if you're just gonna test it. If you see hekate boots up you can simply shut down the switch and everything's back to normal.

Nintendo can replace the board if you send it to them to fix a hw problem. They can’t do it remotely with sw only.

Don't they just send a new patched switch? seems like alot of hassle to replace all boards on unpatched switches they get in.

Okay, I'll do that then, but does anyone know whether or not Hekate is fully compatible with 8.1.0 yet, it just says "all current firmwares (1.0.0 to 8.0.1)" but all current firmwares would be 1.0.0 to 8.1.0.

For the purposes of taking a nand backup, it's totally compatible with any firmware. You can't yet use hekate to boot atmosphere directly on 8.1.0, but that can be worked around by chainloading fusee-primary instead, and either way it doesn't affect the backup function. Totally grab hekate and take a backup asap.

    @K3Nv2 Snow Day is pretty fun. My only bitch would be the camera controls, when you move around, say down, you have to move the right stick left or right to get camera to turn and get your view, other than that I like it so far.

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I just been playing offline, and they give you a few bots here n there on your team to help battle. I don't think it's as funny as the other games tho, more battle oriented than humor, which kinda sucks, but I'm still early in it
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @BigOnYa, doesnt the game have a campaign mode?
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Yea, and co-op, but you can also start a pvp session and battle just with friends. You get special skill cards (powers) the more you play. And higher value cards, but you can only enable so many cards at a time.
