Hacking Question Should i give up?

[RHOPKINS13]

That's a lie, assuming you mean one that works. I tried for a few days and couldn't get it to work, then gave up until my SX pro arrived. It worked the first time.

Then what can I say? You were trying too hard.

You don't even need to "make" a jig, you can use tin foil, a piece of wire, a paper clip, a safety pin, a screw driver, a staple, bentpinhax, a dab of solder...

I'll admit, it was tough for me the first time, but once you manage to do it the first one or two times, and realize that the entire rail is grounded (you only need to worry about pin 10, don't bother with pins 1 or 9) you'll see how easy it really is.

Its so Simple if I was able to do it, anyone can lol, best of luck. I didnt want to wait and order a jig online.

That is the same thing i did and it works good! I can get into RCM every time.

Jfc just use a foil. I used one and it worked like a charm, although you need to play with the sizing but a little patience and you can use it as many times as you want.

If I remember correctly 1.0.0 to 3.0.0 will have a entirely Software method of entering atmosphere when it releases.

So if you want a entirely Software method of entering CFW stay at what your on but if you don't care about a Software method you can update.

3.0.1 to 4.1.0 will also get a Software method later on.

Honestly, if it's causing you this much distress then you should update. As others have said, the only difference between 1.0-4.1 (iirc) iand 5.1 s that the earlier versions will eventually get some form of cold boot hack. That means you wont have to get a jig or mess around with the joycon. That sounds enticing now but once you get a jig you'll see that it's really just not that big of a deal. Look on eBay. Last I checked there were jigs being sold for like $2-3. Also, a 3D printed jig is way less likely to damage your Switch than shoving things blindly into the rail.

Either way, just remember to have fun with it

just take a copper wire and touch pin 10 on your switch. the wire can be found in your house or hardware store

 

[spotanjo3]

Do you think atmosphere will release this year

LOL. You are not patient. No, they aren't because nobody know when. I am patient and I dont have a problem waiting for them.

buy a jig on ebay, they are ~$1-$2

Not worth running homebrew if thers no rom loading

I have no access to a 3d printer and i just don't know how to properly make a paperclip

use paper foil,easy as 1,2,3.do not insert anything else in your joy con.

 

[leon315]

I can wait
Afford a new one not anymore

Eiffel tower simulator Fortnite alone shall never be the reason to update ur 2.2 console, it can be played anyway even on potato android phone with any bluetooth controller, if there are worthy game then go ahead, otherwise don't...

Some of the premade jigs are 4 dollars on amazon with free shipping. You're going to have to at some point spend some money if you want to save some money. I know you can afford 4 dollars if you can afford a 300 dollar switch so c'mon man open that wallet and tell your gf to order off the kids menu next time you go out.

Get the piece of tin foil, it is SO easy to do. Tape it in place if you're so afraid, if you can't do that then you should give up and update. If you're willing to wait forever for a possible coldboot solution then you can try, good luck using the latest Homebrew and good luck playing games. We will forever have Homebrew access and the only way to experience the best of what the scene has to offer is by updating. There is literally no reason to not update unless you really want to wait that long for your little exploit, the SX OS dongle or a DIY dongle is a much better solution than waiting for something that may not even be worth it. Once the years pass more discoveries will be made and eventually all versions will (probably) get CFW much like Luma3DS. You want rom loading?? Good luck running games on a lower firmware that requires you to UPDATE to play them, want to use LayeredFS for backup loading? Good luck. You're punishing yourself by not updating, I'd give up and update.

personally i got a bit of regular old wire from a usb piced one cable touched one end to pin 10 and the other end i just slipped into the gap in the top for the vent
shorted pin 10 piece of cake

it worked for me and trust me especially with me if it can go wrong it will go wrong

This should have been mentioned in your first post

Don't give up OP, life's worth it. Always believe and you'll succeed!
