Scene dev Zecoxao teases new $3 modchip for the OLED Nintendo Switch, involves a Raspberry Pi

Scene developer Zecoxao might be known for their contributions to the PlayStation hacking world, but this time around, they've got something major for the Nintendo scene. The longtime scener teased the existence of what they claim to be a $3 modchip for the Nintendo Switch, and which is said to work with Mariko and OLED systems, though not patched Erista consoles. A teaser video was also uploaded, where the modchip itself was revealed to be a Raspberry Pi--specifically, a RP2040 Zero unit, soldered into the Switch board, demonstrating Hekate launching on an OLED unit.

Given the tease of "coming soon", we can expect to see more details about the exploit eventually.

@M4x1mumReZ he is already on the fence about releasing it or not. So your laugh won't help really, but aight. I got hackable Switches so I don't care personally.
Yeah, I'm not even bothered about it. I'd be better off using an unpatched Switch as you can just do it with a jig like normal.

Of course nobody respects the devs, they just want their piracy.
In this situation, there is no longer a separate them and a separate us.
Everyone took part.
Someone leaked, someone took advantage of the leak, someone tweeted about it, someone reposted this "news".
We also decided not to stand aside and did the best we could - we made a circus with clowns and bears. It's worth noting we did it for free.

Morals are nonexistent these days as we have become accustomed to getting what we want, no matter the method.

The disappointment in your comment matches your pfp

I hope for peoples sakes the dev doesn't get cold feet about it all.
They already are having cold feet. I try to comfort them but as usual the people of the Temps show their true colors it seems....

Switch homebrew scene is so overcomplicated and surrounded by these kinds of drama that I honestly can't see the appeal of this entire mess other than watching it from afar.
Every Nintendo homebrew scene is filled to the brim with this sort of woke drama. Not just that but I can also imagine every other scene doing the same.
