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.

I don’t know if anyone has noticed but the original tweet announcing this has been deleted. I am start to get more skeptical of this ever being released.

I’m hearing there are bugs in the code bricking systems .. let’s hope it can be released soon with no bugs and the rightful owner can get all the awesomeness he or she deserves

Aside from the tweet I haven't seen anyone else mention any bugs or bricking. But the first thing anyone should be doing is making a full backup

Yeah I have only heard it on another part of this website .. I would say it’s not stable enough.. I really want to mod my oled but might do this to my switch lite I’m repairing

I asked a dumb question. Does it still need the D0 point.
A) I have not researched the D0 point apart from a couple you tubes
B) It probably does. A 2040 doesn't magically alter the exploit or find other attach points.

    @The Real Jdbye, tbh the HD collections are more justified since they include more than just 1 game per copy
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @SylverReZ I read that non-binary people identify as a blend of male and female. The point is i think i'm a blend of those and thus non binary
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Xdqwerty, Non-binary people are those who don't identify themselves exclusively as male or female.
