    Hello, I bought a dead Nintendo switch V1 (patched) and I was able to repair it. It had water damage but luckily changing the P13USB ic chip was enough to bring it back to live (and change some ribbon cable, new back cover).

    The problem is that it has an account with a parental controls on. It has the latest update so getting a master key from mkey is impossible without the ID Device. I was able to inject a payload (rcmdeviceid) with tegrarcmgui that was supposed to give me the id device but it gives me 32 characters long code and I don't know how to use it since the mkey requires only 16 characters (I tried using both halves of the 32 code). I found a website from Nintendo that can reset the parental controls for 0.50$ but it's only for North America console and my it's European (the account is from France).

    So.. any advice?..

    Thanks in advance! :)

    Install a core, run homebrew app parental removal then done. You can either leave core in or remove it. Ive done many like this just to remove parentals.

    Hi all.
    Same problem here; Nintendo don't want to do anything, and tell me to contact the seller. the seller, once connected, don't see any console attached to his account and can't remember his lock code.
    Core is ... with a too high price :-/
    Any other solution ?

    Cant you reset the switch?
    when booking, before the nintendo logo, hold power , vol+ and vol-

    Otherwise, run the homebrew app by pressing R while loading a game, even cartridge game will work

    • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
      I wonder if that was the point of game streaming
    • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
      But it's a dead end
    • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
      @Psionic Roshambo, people who cant download it can still play the game
    • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
      If your internet speeds are fast enough. Streaming 4k takes alot. I used to only have 20mb sec, and 4k struggled. Now I have 300mb sec and 4k plays fine.

    • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
      @BigOnYa, i only have like 1 or 2 mb sec
    • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
      Did you feed the hamster in your internet router? It prob died and is running slow now.
    • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
      @BigOnYa, why did you start saying my pc has a hamster in the first place?

    • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
      Its actua!ly just a old joke, meaning its slow. Was just kidding around with you.

      I bet @AncientBoi has some hamsters hidden somewhere tho....

    • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
      I think Game streaming should work like this.... Local Hardware able the run the game fine, game engine and common assets stored locally, all FMV and music and textures could be streaming

    • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
      Some temporary storage
    • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
      also @BigOnYa im making some progress on my gdevelop project, implemented various mechanics
    • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
      They went all in on streaming, should have been more of a hybrid approach

    • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
      Or free government supplied high speed internet be nice also. Like Obama care. Xdqwerty that's cool, its time consuming but rewarding once done or playable, to see what you've made from scratch. Animations take forever, but worth it.

      @BigOnYa, although the bullets are a bit buggy

    • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
      Not to mention this would be a massive pain to pirate
    • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
      @BigOnYa,
      and the visual aspect of the game is quite crude (the sprite that looks best is that of the protagonist just because he is a stickman with sunglasses)

    • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
      There is a bullets behaviour you assign to your character, that makes the code easier, under "behaviours"
    • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
      @BigOnYa, ik
       +1
    • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
      i meant that when the character is pointing to the right, the bullets spawn where they should, but when he is on the right, they move to the right but the spawn point is incorrect
    • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
      Itch.io has lots of free assets also. Under the bullets behavior tab, there is a "rotate bullets" option, can try that. Or in the code can try
      - fire bullet Player.X(PlayerDirection)

      YEa gotta after a while, looking at code for long periods will bug your eyes.

      That's cool tho, I'm proud of you going back to it, not giving up. It is difficult at first to learn, but fun once you get the hang of it. I think I've watched every tutorial video there is, but I still struggle sometimes to get stuff to work right. But gotta keep trying dif things, and eventually you will get it right.
