Hacking Sx Core and Sx Lite , test Units Received

Hopefully this is making Nintendo rush that Switch Pro.

If anything, I feel something like this would make then slow down a ton. No way N would rush out something if theres an active flaw.

if theres an active flaw.

Nintendo's officials already pre-ordered the new modchips to their ninjas, and the fix will be straight right away when installation guide and all 'how-to' explanations from tx come out, I guess.

Will be 2 late as you can not recall all the hardware units already released

this might take a while to fix, especially if the hardware requires a lot of changes

They've already said that there won't be a Switch Pro/V2/etc this year, so we'd be looking at 2021 at the very earliest.

They just have to solder the nand to the board to make this more complex

 

[Teletron1]

So wonder if they traced back the joycon rail exploit back to the board and that’s what you’re wiring while the chip hijacks emmc plus there supposed to be and extra wire to the power button right? .. anyway looking forward to seeing this in action
Pretty funny they didn’t send the wiring diagram

Naah, I don't think it's so simple.

More looks like a power or CLK clock glitching attack realization to the bootrom for me.

Tbh the hacking is going all over my head, so many terminology being used, I can barely get used to the first Emunand released into the 3DS, yeah that’s a few years ago. when it come to Nintendo switch, the learning curve just go parabolic, boot room, boot loader, boot strap, firmware, fusee, rcm, godmode, sysnand, emummc .. I’m getting lost to how to get everything setup from the scratch.

This is off topic to the modchip, but here's everything you need to know: switch.homebrew.guide

You realize that the Lite has the nand soldered to the board, right?

 

[weatMod]

it's already soldered to the board on the switch lite
plu i don't see them going that route on the regular switch they made it modular for a reason , if anything they will just glue it of pot it on more

If you’re familiar with Android/Linux you can get a grasp on some of the terminology but that’s only if you had tinkered with it in developer mode

everything seems like a battle between hacking community vs Nintendo.....cat & mouse game.....Nintendo doing their best not to lose future revenue. Free market is the best IMO.

Looks like they are doing a brown out on the clock for the glitch -- excited. Mine stills shows in Kentucky..

But it’s Nintendo 2 wires power + ground still puts the system in a freeze while the chip does it job
If it was 8+ wires then maybe clk attack but either way nice to see they have a solution

I'm easily seeing 8+ solder points, I don't know where everyone keeps getting 2 wires. Solder bridges to the resistors on the SoC on the flex that lays across it, and another 7 solder bridges to misc components from the other flex cable, including clk.

The chips have 2 labels. Solder Point 1 and Solder Point 2.

Close. The chip has two labels, SP1 and SP2, and everyone else is jumping into them meaning only 2 points. You can see plenty of exposed pads on the flex cables that will have to be bridged to components, the entire other flex cable would be pointless if you weren't soldering to those pads. I expect SP1 and SP2 will either be needed for 2 wires that can't be reached with the flex, or they'll be used to build up solder for a contact-only connection with the heatpipe. Scratch that last part, can clearly see the large pad at the end of that flex will be contact ground. 2 external wires, sure, but still 7 solder points on the other flex to bridge, and at least two resistors on the top of the SoC too, just above those two wires.

The one installed on the Lite non of those points have wiring on the top view photo I wouldn’t think just 2 wires and extra to the power switch to deactivate it
but will find out soon enough , didn’t they say they would have a solderless option coming too
