I'm by no means all-knowing. I'm a power-user, coder, and developer, but I still can't code a compiler, or write a program in ASM. I'm simply pointing out that because I'm unable to get the paper clip trick working (I tried many times to use get pin 10, or pins 1 and 10. None recorded, but all failed the same way.) that's it's a lot harder then people think. Also the fact that no one is selling the "foolproof jigs" on amazon, ebay, or etsy only makes it harder.OK, so you know how bridging all the pins is not a good idea, yet you show doing it in the video you posted.
The process is easy, you're just doing it wrong. But as my original post was pointing out, you're risking damaging your console.
My posted was intended on informing you that using the foil across the paper clip like you did is dangerous, nothing else.
Anyway, since you're an all-knowing developer and coder I'll leave you be. Good luck!
Now, I'm not saying I'm ungrateful for the work these hackers have done. I'm simply saying that there is still quite a "ability gap" needed for people to do this, and that if the home-brew scene wants to get as big as say the PSP scene was then they'll need to figure out a way to bridge that "ability gap" so their home-brew has an audience.
Look, I'm sorry if I'm coming off like an asshole. If I could I would just throw down $5, or $10 on etsy for a easy option, but when I looked I couldn't find anything.
I do have some thoughts about whats going on though: Would it be possible for Nintendo to tell the Switch to not attempt to read what's plugged into the right joycon slot until after boot?
Also, is it possible that having the system in airplane mode (bluetooth on, wifi, and NFC off) is messing this up?
Lastly, I've been told that attaching pins 10 and 4 mess things up, but in my last video pins 10 and 4 must have been touched, right? My right joycon slot, and any attached joycon to it work fine still though.
Edit:And yes, once I figure this out I plan to do the Auto RCM thing ASAP. I can't do Auto RCM without getting into RCM though, right?
