You can try to push a payload with Tegrasmash Gui, see if it push if you don't have a dongle to push payload. Your first attempt at pushing a payload?

It is not in RCM mode, then problem might be your jig, don't use a paper clip to be honest get a real jig like the one from the NS Atmosphere dongle pack.

maybe a patched Switch
maybe your jig / paperclip / foil... etc isnt working
try to compare your switch number with the hackable list

Maybe try the tinfoil method instead, but maybe your switch is not able to get homebrew, check underneath your switch where you plug in the charger. There you should see a paper with XAJ or XAW. XAW9 or XAK.
This could be your problem because if you try to boot a payload with a non hackable switch your screen will stay black. Please send me your serial to me on discord so i can check it for you. My name is Noaawie #5075

Sorry if it's complicated but in more simple way, The "newer" consoles can't get homebrew because they got patched

If you can tell me the first 7 letters/numbers of your serial number i can tell if it works. for example mine is XAJ7000

Another thing you could try is getting the files straight from Rei, as I can see that's 1 of those Nevercholt file packages/bundles.

    @Jayro, I don't see whats so special about the DS ML, its just a DS lite in a phat shell. At least the phat model had louder speakers, whereas the lite has a much better screen.

  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    They probably said "Hey, why not we combine the two together and make a 'new' DS to sell".
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It's a DS Lite in a slightly bigger DS Lite shell.

  • Veho @ Veho:
    It's not a Nintendo / iQue official product, it's a 3rd party custom.

    Nothing special about it other than it's more comfortable than the Lite

    @SylverReZ if you could find a v5 DS ML you would have the best of both worlds since the v5 units had the same backlight brightness levels as the DS Lite unlockable with flashme
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    but that's a long shot
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    i think only the red mario kart edition phat was v5
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    A woman with no arms and no legs was sitting on a beach. A man comes along and the woman says, "I've never been hugged before." So the man feels bad and hugs her. She says "Well i've also never been kissed before." So he gives her a kiss on the cheek. She says "Well I've also never been fucked before." So the man picks her up, and throws her in the ocean and says "Now you're fucked."

    anyways, we need to re-normalize physical media

    if i didn't want my games to be permanent, then i'd rent them

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Agreed, that why I try to buy all my games on disc, Xbox anyways. Switch games (which I pirate tbh) don't matter much, I stay offline 24/7 anyways.
  • AncientBoi @ AncientBoi:
    I don't pirate them, I Use Them :mellow:. Like I do @BigOnYa 's couch :tpi::evil::rofl2:

  • cearp @ cearp:
    @BakerMan - you can still "own" digital media, arguably easier and better than physical since you can make copies and backups, as much as you like.

    The issue is DRM
  • cearp @ cearp:
    You can buy drm free games / music / ebooks, and if you keep backups of your data (like documents and family photos etc), then you shouldn't lose the game. but with a disk, your toddler could put it in the toaster and there goes your $60

    :rofl2:
  • cearp @ cearp:
    still, I agree physical media is nice to have. just pointing out the issue is drm
  • rqkaiju2 @ rqkaiju2:
    i like physical media because it actually feels like you own it. thats why i plan on burning music to cds
  • cearp @ cearp:
    It's nice to not have to have a lot of physical things though, saves space
