So the Australian reseller I have ordered from wants Photo I.D. and a disclaimer signed before they will send anything now.

A photo id seems really strange, why would that help them at all if Nintendo came after them. To throw their customers under a bus too? Curious about what the disclaimer would say, maybe that its only for homebrew purposes.

Maybe cancel and reorder from an overseas seller.

Yeah seems super fishy
Unless there was a CC or paypal flag I don't see any reason for them to be asking you that
Order txswitch or sxflashcard - im pretty sure they ship worldwide

Does anyone know how much of the metal plating you're actually supposed to remove?

SX Core V2
You don't have to cut or remove any portion of the plate. You can bend little clip upwards then cable will have room to slide through.

Anx chip (who became another site) has stopped trying to get anything to the US. If you have an order, contact them for a refund on Discord. Told me refunds should arrive within a week.

Didn't know that was what happend to Anx, I preordered mine with them and was becoming skeptical since everyone has been getting their modchips and I haven't even received my tracking number. That's insane.

Still waiting on tracking details from elewelt, two virgin switch lites collecting dust are driving me nuts.
Does anyone know the current status of sx lite?

That's the disclaimer, not too worried about that really but the I. D. thing just seems strange. I guess they are just checking I'm not a Nintendo plant.

If I were you I'd cancel my order and buy elsewhere, I got mine from aliexpress seller, no hassle you pay they ship, no bullshit.

I got this one https://aliexpress.com/item/4001125754363.html

chose standard shipping (slow one) and already got my tracking, delivery eta is for mid july (to italy) but you can also choose dhl fast shipping of course.

In the reviews there are some photoes of people who got it already so its legit, furthermore the price is the one recommended by TX so there's no markup like those sites selling them for $60...

Also, can someone else confirm about the bulge that you get in the back of the console after installing the chip? (Someone here mentioned it) That can't be the intended look. If you install it correctly, will there still be a bulge?
You cant install it wrong, how can people even come up with this stuff? Cpu is on the left side of the, if you did too much solder 1. cpu wouldnt make proper contact with the heatsink (if you could even get the screws in) 2. It literally wouldnt matter at all because the main part of the chip containing the nand is to the right of the cpu
And there is NO WAY to install anything the wrong way, the cables are stiff and short, you would have to put it in wrong on purpose and probably even tape it down since it jumps into place after that.

There is a buldge and thats simply how it is, it doesnt affect anything, you cant feel it, in fact if you put a case on you cant even see it anymore, but you can 100% see it when youre looking for it.

You can use fat 32 or exfat

With dual nand having multiple cards is cleaner

Just finished a SX Core V1 install:

  • 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!
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @TwoSpikedHands just switch, all the knowledge you learned still applies and most of the code and assets should be the same anyway
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    and realistically they wouldn't

    be able to play it legally anyway since they need a ROM and they probably don't have the means to dump it themselves
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    why the shit does the shitbox randomly insert newlines in my messages
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It does that when I edit a post.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It inserts a newline in a random spot.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    never had that i don't think
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    do y'all think having an sd card that has a write speed of 700kb/s is a bad idea?
    trying to restore emunand rn but it's taking ages... (also when I finished the first time hekate decided to delete all my fucking files :wacko:)
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @Karma177 that sd card is 100% faulty so yes, its a bad idea
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    even the slowest non-sdhc sd cards are a few MB/s
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    @The Real Jdbye it hasn't given me any error trying to write things on it so I don't really think it's faulty (pasted 40/50gb+ folders and no write errors)
  • DinohScene @ DinohScene:
    run h2testw on it

  • DinohScene @ DinohScene:
    when SD cards/microSD write speeds drop below a meg a sec, they're usually on the verge of dying

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Samsung SD format can sometimes fix them too
  • Purple_Heart @ Purple_Heart:
    yes looks like an faulty sd
  • Purple_Heart @ Purple_Heart:
    @Psionic Roshambo i may try that with my dead sd cards
