Hacking Question What's the best dingle for the switch

[yusuo]

Question in title, I currently use SX Pro with its license still intact, thinking about selling a moving over to the free option as soon as xci loading is available but need a new dongle prior to that, what are you people out there using? And why would you recommend it

Something like this? w w w . e b a y . c o m / i / 3 0 2 9 1 4 3 1 5 1 7 9 ? c h n = p s

internal trinket. Otherwise, anything you can find will work. And XCI won't be available for quite some time, simply because it is not needed. BTW, you can use SX Pro or Gear dongles.

I think there is just the one dingle suit on the switch

I have a pro but ideally I want to put whatever payload I want on the dongle itself

Not possible. But you can use their boot.dat for gear, which loads payload from SD.

I know this, which is why I want to get another dongle

If you can't stay having 2 files on SD, sure. Then any dongle you can find will do the job

Saw a new one called rcm loader one you should search

OK. So now go back and look at the original post

Do you hate carrying extra stuff around? Go with an internal Trinket M0 mod.
Same as above but you don't know how to solder stuff or don't want to risk it? Use your smartphone with Rekado as a payload launcher, but keep in mind that your smartphone must support OTG for this.
Neither of the above options are available for you or don't mind carrying an extra dongle around? NS-Atmosphere is a good (while being still cheap) dongle, otherwise if you don't like it a member on GBATemp is selling his own custom-made SAMD Payload launchers in the trading area which seem to be high quality.

If you have a USB C type phone just buy a USB C to USB C cable and a jig, install AutoRCM and just use the cable instead of the dongle. It's just more reliable than a dongle.

I am not gonna do that. I gave you an answer. Just stop being lazy.

+1 for the internal trinket M0. I know it isn’t a dongle but damn I’m so happy I pulled the trigger and got one. It’s set it and forget it. Just don’t let the battery drain and your golden. If you don’t know how to solder, it’s well worth paying for it to be done. Oh and you can use it with SX gear
