I know many have been wondering about this and I saw her post this on Twitter yesterday.

Here's a fixed link if you're too lazy to copy/paste.

Well I sure do hope it's a payload injector and not just AutoRCM.

Well, you can make your own with pic32.
Like someone did.

How'd you make that a clickable link?

 

[Kubas_inko]

Guide?

Knowledge. He didn't make any.

By highlighting a text and putting "Link" in it.

Guide? No need for a guide, load the payload and you will know what to do from there.

He's asking for a guide on how to program and install that pic32 (I guess).

I bet you're fun to work with.

I would assume it would require you to get power and connectivity from the usb pads

I donno, I'd prefer a dongle made by my own instead of putting it inside incase of repairing or reselling. The dongle could be small if you can put in within the console.

I don't understand.
You would rather build your own dongle (just like with the pic32) which can be small enough that you can put it inside the console (just like with the pic32)?

I prefer not to open the device unless there's no other options. A dongle that small can easily fit in any Switch case I have, and all my 3 Switches can share one dongle. If it breaks, I can just make another one, if the console went wrong or I don't need them anymore I could just sent them back to Ninty or sell them. Seems a no brainer to me.

her modchip is literally pointless at this point, shes making it for an unavailable board...

1. It is a bit of a joke
2. It is useful for tinkerers

A few others are coming up with a modchip as well, I'm hoping the modchips for our consoles will have added functionality in the future. Nand R/W capabilities, spoofing or even fw upgrade/downgrade... the possibilities go on.
