So, the Xecuter SX chips are not available anywhere and there’s no soft mod available for the lite. I have a main switch also, but it’s patched via update and again, no SX chips. I noticed the Trinklet M0 chip running on the original switch, so I wonder is it possible to use the M0 chip on the switch lite?

You going to need an unpatched unit if you want to use a Trinket M0, or any of the SAMD21 Compatible Modchip. SX Core/Lite are harder to find now a day and no support for 11.0.1+. All the known hard modders from this forum have stopped providing services due to Nintendo's cease and desist order.

So, to clarify, right now effectively there are no viable modchip solutions for patched Switch systems, and even if one finds the SX Core/Lite, they are still stuck on older firmware with no support. Correct?

You can run Atmosphere on SX Core/SX Lite but you need to flash Spacecraft-NX, no firmware update for SX OS.

Not true, no need to flash Spacecraft-NX, that is even risky. Use SX Gear 1.1 boot.dat and that is it, you can launch hekate with it.

You can't dump key with Lockpick_RCM with SX Gear, so people who wants to have their keys on erista/mariko unit you just going to run into a blank screen. Also you have to press the + volume button when SX OS is booting to get access to the bootloader menu to load hekate, for people above 11.0.0 if they don't press the button they will just get a black screen.

False, again. I have done so perfectly fine. Please, do not misguide people.

sx gear 1.1 boot.dat/.ini > hekate > lockpick_RCM, it just works. Also, do not mix things up, no need to bring sx os to the discussion, at all.

Try loading lockpick_rcm and getting the keys without going to hekate.

LOL, grasping at straws and changing discourse as the discussion goes, eh ?

a) as does everybody ? all of us use hekate to chainload secondary payloads.
b) again, and regardless, you can do everything with sx gear 1.1 boot.dat.
c) please, stop misguiding people, more so on cases like this, where the risk involved is awful for no functional gains.

While it is true that you can chainload into fusee-secondary payload to load Atmosphere, not everyone like the idea of chainloading, you can't load fusee-primary.bin from the SX gear bootloader menu, and when you try lockpick_RCM, you can't obtain your keys if you don't use hekate as your replacement bootloader, what is the point if you go from the SX OS bootloader menu, just to chainload into hekate to chainload into another payload, when you can use an open source SX Core/SX Lite compatible firmware like Spacecraft-NX.

Said someone who very, very probably chainloads everything via hekate :)

I get your point but it is very tedious, I use hekate as my bootloader on trinket m0 unit, but jumping through two bootloader to boot a CFW is quite tedious, that why some people prefer to use spacecraft-NX to reduce how many bootloader you got to use.

It is not auto going from SX Bootloader into Hekate, plus on 11.0.1 and above you need to press + volume button while it boot to get into SX Bootloader menu.
sx gear boot.dat/.ini loads hekate and hekate configured to autoload atmosphere. I have several switches setup like this, fully atomatic and seamless. Again, no need to reference sx os boot.dat, which we do not need at all in this scheme.

    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!
  • 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

    why the shit does the shitbox randomly insert newlines in my messages

    It does that when I edit a post.

    It inserts a newline in a random spot.
