PROJECT STATUS NEWS UPDATE: July 17th - Team REBUG has gotten their Switch Modchip Up and Running Perfectly!

The last update we had from Team REBUG on their project status was back on July 4th, that they got in the 'final prototype' PCBoards and now they had time to assemble them, polish up the coding a bit, and installed one in their Nintendo Switch consoles and below we present to you the very first video of it booting up and working, along with the latest Tweets from their project team leader.

Mod chip works

I've tested a few configurations with rcm strapping, hardware auto RCM and software RCM. Easiest by far is software auto RCM and a easy 4 wire install. Oh no case bluge

Seeing Videos are just better, here you go

Nintendo Switch Mod Chip 4 wire install (just showing off without auto rcm) 3 Clicks and its off to OZ

Huge thanx to everyone involved in the Switch Scene!

Cool stuff. Are they also working on a CFW?

Where would you even put a second one? lol

I think they saw the SD slot (which is just the switches already existing port.) And thought it part of the chip. The chip definitely has no msd slot I can see.

hey that looks like my pro mini

actually it kinda sounds just like it too

Nah. It was a keyboard in the video

I'm not realy a fan of this backcover pressing :/
Always bothered me on the Trinket mod.

 

[subcon959]

A bit late we already had 4 wire trinket install for a while now.

 

[Kubas_inko]

unless it is cheaper than trinket, sure it can be useful.

 

[guily6669]

Wtf how do you turn on to horizon os?

I mean disable RCM...

 

[subcon959]

I seriously doubt they would bother with all this to release a £10 product.

Tbh, I was hoping for more development to be done towards ease of installation rather than just redesigning a trinket.

 

[Kukielka]

So It's just a internal Trinket install with a different SAMD?
Uhm.. alright?
I Would've really liked to see the testpads they soldered to.

 

[ScarletDreamz]

No it was not, im a 1000% sure that they were using calculators ;D

So what exactly does this modchip do? Coldboot into CFW? Allow CFW loading on FW5.0+ and bootrom patched Switches?

 

[mattytrog]

Rather late to the party I must say.

Why bother? 4 wire install? Auto RCM? Where have I seen that before...

Very easy to fit. Good design. If you don`t fancy removing USB port on an Adafruit / Arduino zero, this is the way to go.

 

[Kukielka]

Just found out they use AutoRCM. This is hilarious.
They probably use
K2
K3
Power from L1
Any Groundpoint

Still unsure how they sense CPU_Reset tho.

 

[Zumoly]

I tend to avoid anything that involves opening the Switch.
Sadly another cool tweak to contemplate...

No need. Bet it goes to pin 5 of M92T36.

 

[Kukielka]

They said anyone can do it, I kinda doubt they have that much faith into ppl
It there a testpad for that?
