Scene developer Zecoxao might be known for their contributions to the PlayStation hacking world, but this time around, they've got something major for the Nintendo scene. The longtime scener teased the existence of what they claim to be a $3 modchip for the Nintendo Switch, and which is said to work with Mariko and OLED systems, though not patched Erista consoles. A teaser video was also uploaded, where the modchip itself was revealed to be a Raspberry Pi--specifically, a RP2040 Zero unit, soldered into the Switch board, demonstrating Hekate launching on an OLED unit.

Given the tease of "coming soon", we can expect to see more details about the exploit eventually.

The DAT0 adapter.

I don't have any issues whatsoever with the dat0 adapter.
CLK on the other hand makes me sweat. I like to take quite a bit of time on that as I consider it to be risky since it is right next to the APU .

I don’t know if anyone has noticed but the original tweet announcing this has been deleted. I am start to get more skeptical of this ever being released.

He might have got some backlash from the community for not releasing it.

I don't think was ninjas involved, the news of the Ninja attack exploding on the net like the one on Bowser.

Reminds me of that time Reggie asked Bowser for the keys to the kingdom back. But in seriousness this doesn't bode well if the Ninjas are involved

I’m hearing there are bugs in the code bricking systems .. let’s hope it can be released soon with no bugs and the rightful owner can get all the awesomeness he or she deserves

Aside from the tweet I haven't seen anyone else mention any bugs or bricking. But the first thing anyone should be doing is making a full backup

Yeah I have only heard it on another part of this website .. I would say it’s not stable enough.. I really want to mod my oled but might do this to my switch lite I’m repairing

not many people talking about it anyways are there

But the first thing anyone should be doing is making a full backup

how would you do that without modding it?

Think they mean that they should make a full backup right after the modchip installation

oh yeah that makes sense

 

[vittorio]

who is the developer of this payload, can anyone contact him?

afaik only the mods can contact them

 

[vittorio]

i spoke to zecoxao but he has no news

 

[FruithatMods]

You must focus harder my young padawan

...
I asked a dumb question. Does it still need the D0 point.
A) I have not researched the D0 point apart from a couple you tubes
B) It probably does. A 2040 doesn't magically alter the exploit or find other attach points.

Well if he isn't the dev that explains why he doesn't have news 🤣

[SUPERBANEN]

Is this true?

 

[linuxares]

Is this true?

Nope, he said fuck it afterwards people not being understanding. If he sold it, he havent told me so and I highly doubt it.
