Hacking Show us your Jig!

[JeepX87]

I bought jigs from @gamesquest1 and tested on my Switch - works great without any multiple attempts, but I forgot to press on volume +, so I was like wonder and found out that I have to press on volume + to enter RCM successfully.

If you see picture that gamesquest1 posted so I got same one like this.

I'm wonder if use jig frequently cause pin damage?

It would be detected by Nintendo?

Everything is possible but i dont think so !

Hope so, but I don't use anything that is illegal like piracy or cheating, so just use for save backup or edit the save for single player only.

It is obvious that mess with CDN, cheating in muliplayer games and buy games with stolen credit card = ban.

backing up a game is ilegal otherwise nintendo will include that option on their sistem !!!

Not fond of cloud save and I'm going to avoid anything that is likely to be obvious and keep profile low. I haven't getting banned from 3DS so not going to dwell on Nintendo.

I was just wonder about how fragile is pin, that all.

thats asome but i doesnt worked for me ,
CAn you please tell me exactly the distance between the end of one pin and the end of the other ,, i really need the measures in centimiters to know the distance between pin 1 and 10 .
Thanks

[DiddyKongVsTheWorld]

I'll test mine tonight and if it works, I'll sell for $8 with free shipping anywhere in Canada. Shoot me a PM .

sorry dont know how to pm, did it work ? im located in canada

 

[RAGER]

I made mine via copper wire, works nicely!

Spoiler

I did the paperclip thing, then I ordered a jig on ebay which worked great, but ultimately I wanted something more seamless, so I opened up my joycon and soldered a momentary button in there.

Definitely not for the faint of heart. I wasn't prepared for how tiny those contacts are. I can give some pointers if anybody else is considering this project.

your rulers broken? or just that lazy?
distance between 1 and 10 pins is 6.5mm. i know this as i measured it to make my own.
i think people are lazy in this world, digital vernier's for under $10. i suggest you get some.

here's a model of my jig i designed in a way i can cut it out of plastic on my cnc machine with a 1mm endmill. works well, dont have a pic of one cut as i dont have my phone on me. can post later if people like. they work so thats all i cared about.

Thanks for the info i already use tin foil once and then set it up to auto rcm :-)

After messing with wires for hours and almost ruined my pins, this simple thing proofed itself to work every time.
Guess connecting the wrong pins together does nothing, else my switch would be dead for sure.

Will make it out of plastic next time. Currently its just a piece of cardboard wrapped into aluminium foil.
Then I removed the part in the middle to prevent shorting other pins. Done. Took me 2 minutes.

Could go with a piece of metal and tape the center instead. Maybe even a lead pencil would work to make contact?
Used that method on CPU 15 years ago to connect PINs to enable all cores

I tried to make one from a paperclip, but never got it to work. After that just waited for SXpro to arrive, the included jig has always worked flawlessly for me. I'd show a pic, but my jig is upstairs, and my camera downstairs, and I'm lazy. Y'all know what an SXpro looks like, anyway. If not, look in the review.

Ebay jig I bought but never failed me.

 

[Jayro]

I just use the one that TX sent me, 3D printed ones are unreliable.

I've got the very same jig, works flawless so far.
