Anyone got any tips on how to buy a Nintendo Switch and know that you're getting an exploitable one? I want to get one as a gift for someone but have no idea how I'd go about making sure it's exploitable. I don't necessarily want to buy pre-owned but I may have to. Any help would be awesome!

Hello can i ask a stupid question:-

So i saw the list of patched switch units by firmware.
I have a XAJ7005 unit which says it's patched, but it doesn't say so in the list under firmware 4.10?
Does it mean i can still try to hack my Switch?

ah tambien en Amazon, creo que medio Mexico lo hizo por el buen fin, es mas una amiga lo pidio ayer en la mañana, nos llego en la noche en ciudades diferentes, a ella le toco XAW10089 ella no puede verdad?, supongo que sera una loteria, si actualizo el mio a 6.1.0 importa? pregunto antes de hacerlo

P. D. Me equivoque y puse un 0 demás mi número real es XAW100755

Can anyone confirm that? Can I try with SX OS Pro?

Firmware: 4.1.0
Color option: Black with red and blue joy con
Store: A german store (REAL)
Purchase date: October 2018.

  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    yall im torn... ive been hacking away at tales of phantasia GBA (the USA version) and have so many documents of reverse engineering i've done
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I just found out that the EU version is better in literally every way, better sound quality, better lighting, and there's even a patch someone made to make the text look nicer
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    Do I restart now using what i've learned on the EU version since it's a better overall experience? or do I continue with the US version since that is what ive been using, and if someone decides to play my hack, it would most likely be that version?
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    @TwoSpikedHands, I'll preface this with the fact that I know nothing about the game, but, I think it depends on what your goals are. Are you trying to make a definitive version of the game? You may want to refocus your efforts on the EU version then. Or, are you trying to make a better US version? In which case, the only way to make a better US version is to keep on plugging away at that one ;)
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    I'm not familiar with the technicalities of the differences between the two versions, but I'm wondering if at least some of those differences are things that you could port over to the US version in your patch without having to include copyrighted assets from the EU version
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    @Sicklyboy I am wanting to fully change the game and bend it to my will lol. I would like to eventually have the ability to add more characters, enemies, even have a completely different story if i wanted. I already have the ability to change the tilemaps in the US version, so I can basically make my own map and warp to it in game - so I'm pretty far into it!
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I really would like to make a hack that I would enjoy playing, and maybe other people would too. swapping to the EU version would also mean my US friends could not legally play it
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I am definitely considering porting over some of the EU features without using the actual ROM itself, tbh that would probably be the best way to go about it... but i'm sad that the voice acting is so.... not good on the US version. May not be a way around that though
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I appreciate the insight!
