I’ve always been fascinated by jailbreaking. Makes you realise how the switch is capable of so much more than nintendo gives

Jailbroken tech really shows just how much the hardware it’s operating on is capable of and lots of the stuff isn’t even that hard to implement. Yet majority of this stuff will never get done. It really sucks, Nintendo in this scenario will put more resources into stopping this kind of thing instead of implementing what they see is popular within the community.

The plugged in ad you had at the beginning is THE GREATEST IV EVER HAD THE PLEASURE TO SEE

Just wanted to tell you Thanks for these extremely thorough videos and describing everything to a Tee! You put alot of work into this and it shows!😁

It sucks that Nintendo are so adamant about cracking down on modding as modding breeds a lot of awesome innovative stuff. Nintendo should honestly just hire some of the people who're creating this custom software as they're clearly skilled. IMO, once you buy a piece of hardware, that hardware belongs to you & you should be allowed to do what you want with it without the company you bought it from breathing down your neck. How is the tech world supposed to move forward if we don't let people tinker with machines? Same goes for software, giving people the tools to learn & create is a positive for everyone involved.

I think jailbreaking is excellent for extending the lifespan of older systems. I had a PSP which had sat in my drawer for around a decade barely being used until I jailbroke it and added emulators. Now it's my go-to handheld on the go, even over my Nintendo switch. I think companies should allow for legacy devices to be jailbroken, cause it gives them a second life when they would otherwise be forgotten in the digital age.

I've done everything and more of all the things you mentioned with my Switch V1, Android included. I knew this wasn't showing me anything new. And i saw it anyways bc your way of explaining things is so great and keeps one interested at all times.

Hello Jeff, I just wanna say that your editing and commentary is so freakin' good. Keep up the good work!

It baffles me that Nintendo won’t offer themes and allow for some native Home Screen customization. It’s obviously highly desired and seems like it would be so easy to let us have.

I do not see how modchips are illegal. If I OWN a switch I can do whatever the hell I want with it. The modchip within itself does nothing it needs to be installed INSIDE the switch I OWN. Nintendo is not entitled to a monopoly.

There are exceptions when playing mods online. In Smash Ultimate, there’s a mod called HDR that changes mechanics to feel like Melee which is possible to play online as long as the person you’re playing with has the mod as well. It’s safe since it does not cause any disconnections and Nintendo can’t recognize any changes and raise red flags

I love your editing on this video, its so smooth sailing.

Such a shame Nintendo is cracking down so hard on this -- emulation on the OLED switch would be incredible. I get Nintendo is trying to sell its own emulation through the Expansion Pass, so cracking down on modding is benifical to them, but it sucks considering how weak their paid offering is.

Solid vid, not often I subscribe on videos like this, but so well done with no annoying filler I am keen for future interesting vids. Cheers mate!

You can still enter RCM mode using the jig, you just can't push a payload for the OLED using the stock hardware. Tegra still detects RCM mode as well when you use the jig

a thing to note, you can play online with mods enabled, but you have to be careful about them. Smash ultimate and mario kart require you to only use pure visual mods or play in a friend lobby with people that also use the same mods, whereas in splatoon you get banned from it for changing anything.

V1 Switch + ComPooTer = Tech Bliss ! 😁

I think it's absolutely crazy how capable the switch is and how cool some of these added features are. Just imagine the world we could live in if we had more open tech

I like the enthusiastic and chill vibe you got going. Great video even a year later (and unfortunately I have an OLED so I cant do this lol sage)

Thanks for the video. Really interesting.

As part of the original homebrew channel team for the wii I am very impressed

A very well narrated tutorial and you explained everything really well. Here's my big dilemma - I already have several V1 unpatched Switches but want an OLED one for just the screen - but to buy one new it will cost me around $300, then around $100 for the mod chip and around $200 for someone to do the installation/soldering for me so it will end up costing me $600 to jailbreak the OLD model - is it worth it in your opinion or is the V1 ones good enough?

Man I love this video, I keep coming back to it anytime I want to try something new on my modded switch, keep up the amazing work man!

Videos is awesome. Aside from the content itself, this was well thought out and delivered seamlessly. No extra useless info. Just straight to the point explanations and thorough research. Makes me want a modded switch right away.

love how chill your videos are and its always great to see another person invested into the world of modding consoles

This is from 2yrs ago...these "chips" are now anyway, cheap and easy to get as well as pretty easy to solder as the things are guided on where to solder at and everything...its now a lot easier and cheaper. Oh and you can mod basically any switch with the chip as well as switch light.

my favorite thing to do with a hacked Switch is overclocking and 60 fps mods. A lot of games surprisingly work pretty well at 60 fps. You can even force it to use handheld mode settings to get you the rest of the way there.

Wow man, I was just looking around at modded switch videos to get help, this helped me find all the apps I could possibly want and you answered a lot of my questions at the end, thank you.

I love the new OLED switch jailbroken it’s awesome. It was really difficult soldering some points but everything went pretty smoothly.

When you said check this out and pulled out the graph, your charisma grasped me. I’m hooked

One of the most useful videos I've seen, answered all my questions in a single video.

This reminds me of modding my PSP back in the day The way you got into "recovery mode" was well it had to do with the battery and opening it and cutting a wire it was cool to do at 13

Wanted to say i watched this video maybe less than a week ago and now im here with a v1 jailbroken switch with binbok split pads playing psp games. Keep up the content, a breath of new life to a console i had really forgotten

Great video! As a happy long term user of a modded switch, I'd like to add this: you can also send the hekate payload easily using Android phone apps and an usb-c to usb-c cable. That's how I i do it. I honestly forget the name of the app I use but I'll check and add it in a bit.

I dig your hair. Looks good on you and is iconic. Thanks for all the hard work!

3:03 You can also mod a joycon to have a button that acts as an RCM jig. You just open it up, solder a cable and a button onto some specific pins on the joyon, and you have a perfectly normal joycon with a button on the back that allows it to work as an RCM jig.

With the switch web browser being able to be accessed by changing DNS stuff _(don't ask me how i've never done it)_ I'm hoping modding a switch will be more easier for people interested in it cuz the OLED setup looks extremely hard lol. Awesome video! :)

I just sent the left Joycon to fix due to the drift malfunctioning. I was about to buy the usb Bluetooth adapter in the wait but then i saw this vid and now i’m playing with my PS4 controller. Thanks, really, i love you.

I always like the detail and work you put into your videos I have to do that with my switch since I have a v1 switch

You put in a lot of work here. Clearly explained everything 👍

I wish you’d post a bit more often 😭 love the content but cool video finally happy to see this!

I don’t even want to jailbreak my OLED, I just came to watch the video and I am thoroughly impressed with your research

Honestly I can’t wait for the switch to be outdated. It will become a emulating beast.

One note I would make is that AutoRCM will cause the battery to drain abnormally fast compared to not using it. I would suggest not using it unless you really don't want to use the jig. There is an overlay you can use to reboot back to hekate or even directly to Android if you have it installed. It's probably only useful on V1 Switches though that so not need the modchip. Great video though. Found out some things I did no know myself.

Man, I wish those Switch Lite mod chips were more accessible, I would totally buy one just to mod.

Absolutely mad work man, really appreciated!

i was so excited that this couldve been a video showcasing a way to hack non v1 without modchips but no.. still, really cool video, showcased most stuff you can do w a hacked switch really well, theres even stuff i didnt know about that ill definitely be trying

Its awesome seeing the capability the switch has! Upsetting Nintendo doesnt add some of this by default.

Modding a console is like an artform. It's beautiful.

I heard about switches you can buy that basically don't have anything on them? I can't remember what they're called so can't look them up. I think someone said white or black box switches. Basically just the hardware that you can load whatever os onto. Do ya have any info about those?

It being able to run CEMU with the switch acting as Wii U touchpad is brilliant. Being able to stream the rest of the PC library, as well as being able to stream other consoles (ps4/5, Xbox series) and game pass, this is really the ultimate experience. If only Nintendo officially supported the PS and Xbox streaming apps, game pass, and Steam link.

5:15 *Just an FYI that Applet Mode is not always reliable when running certain apps in the Homebrew Menu.* Due to the fact that you're accessing it from the Gallery, you aren't able to use the full RAM. To get the most efficiency out of your experience using the Homebrew Menu, simply load any game / app on your Switch's home menu as you normally do and make sure you hold the R button while doing so. This triggers a title override that, instead of launching the game / app, directs you to the Homebrew Menu, but at least this way, you have access to the full RAM, enabling you to run certain apps at 100% efficiency.

Amazing video, great information, and great flow as well.

The effort, you are cool my dude 🔥

Damn. This looks really cool. I'm not gonna mod the switch until the new Nintendo console comes out though. I'm gonna stick with my modded vita for now.

I’m always super hesitant about Jailbreaking my consoles, so I usually wait until Nintendo drops support for the most part before I try it, but you’re making it SO HARD to wait lol

Thank you for the info. I started my CFW journey with this video and I was able to find the resources I needed to install it on my own switch.

It’s be so scared to do that to mine ngl I’ve done it to my 3ds though easy

I've installed the mod chip on a few OLEDs and Lites. This video was really nice to see all of the other features I haven't experimented with on my modded Switch consoles.

The switch's homebrew scene is the best I've seen of any console, there hasn't been much new stuff but recently the work on an PS Vita translation layer began which is huge. I hope that it gets more accessible someday, I buy my games legally but sometimes I enter the hacked mode just to stream dolphin or connect a ps5 controller for Mario Kart

The recent explosion in mod chips and documentation makes it much easier to mod an OLED, before when I wanted to do this finding videos and chips was incredibly hard. If you take your time you can mod an OLED with very little experience. Hell this is my first time ever micro soldering but with KZfaq I did it and quite well

I was wondering how you got android on mariko before noticing that you changed Switches during the android portion of the vid :(

8:58 "compoeter" got me😂😂

Me: watching this video My switch: “Don’t even think about it cowboy.”

i do not plan to jailbreak my Switch until long after it dies as a console but it’s nice to know that having an older model technically makes it easier

The ad was so smoothly integrated, I couldn’t skip it, and I’m a proud baldy 😂.

I really admire how straightforward you were throughout the whole video. No fluff. It's refreshing.

great to see another video from you!

Dang this guy only have small subscribers you deserve more thanks for the info about moding

you can get the back shield off the OLED without messing with that tape. Just unplug the connectors, then look down the right side of the shield and you will see the cable is hooked around some plastic. You can use a plastic spudger to easily unhook the cable and then the whole back plate will come off without messing around with the tape.

"Mom can i have a steam deck" "No, we have steam deck at home" The steam deck at home:

Another great video! Enjoyed the one you did for the ps4 and now the switch. Modded switch oled looks so good! but impossible to get 😢

I really like how your language is so precise and correct! So I want to correct you when you give wrong information. (don't worry, what you said wrong is technical, and wouldn't matter for most users) All switches, including the newer once, can go into RCM mode by using a jig (which as far as the SOC is concerned, equates to pressing the home button), and volume + and power. What was patched on v2 switches, mariko switches (fun note mariko is named after Wolverines japanese girlfriend), switch lite, and OLED was (grossly simplified) a buffer overflow exploit that allowed you to send a package that would be read by the rcm mode, but you send a so big package, that when rcm mode read the package it continued to write information from the package outside the area where it was supposed to store this information. And the package had so much information that it would write to an area where it would look for what to do next. And so it could write commands to the RCM mode, and essentially (grossly simplified) open the front door to homebrew. Thats why in v2, mariko, switch lite, and OLED you need a modchip that sends an unexpected voltage spike to the SOC, getting it to "glitch out" Oh back to the Mariko name, Mariko is the codename for the X1+ SOC in all but the v1 (unpatched) and v2 (patched) switches. the v1 and v2 switches have a X1 SOC, which has the code name Logan. Which is Wolverines most used civilian alias which he has used for most of his life. Nvidia has used scientist names for codenames for their architectures, but super hero civilian names for Tegra SOC's. The newest Tegra SOC based on Ada Lovelace arcitecture, is codenamed Thor.

I bought my DS that's bundled with a flashcart (to this day I thank our local seller for doing that lol), and I've been spoiled with how much freedom I could do with the little machine just with one cartridge and SD card. I'm getting my first Switch soon which is the OLED one, and it's a little bit disappointing that I can't jailbreak it now, but at least I'm glad such a community still exists. Maybe it'll be more accessible and less risky once the Switch is no longer supported by Nintendo (just like what I've heard of the 3DS hacking scene) but for now, thanks for showing us the growing potential of the Switch homebrew scene! I sincerely hope the Switch could at least take notes from the custom themes and Discord status one!

Thanks for showing this I've always thought of buying a v1 and doing this, and the dual boot made me want more to get one to try it. never had a console so doing this as a start would be the best. thanks on the insights and great vid as always

you should make videos like this for the 3ds and Vita too! really interesting

Wow 7 months and still no Nintendo Lawsuit? you're a lucky man!

Is all of this feature come from the Stetix HATS pack ? Or i need to seperatedly install them

Amazing, as a og switch modder I can say you covered a ton of the good stuff and gave a well detailed explanation! Keep up the amazing work!

I swear this channels vids are just home run after home run. This channel is so underrated.

Hey, so I tried to see if my switch was patched, it said it was maybe? It also said ''Possible firmware version out of the box: 4.1.0'' what does that mean? And if it's about updates, can I lower my switch update?

I love how he says “compooter”

I’ve been using a modded vita for most of my emulation needs and I’ve always loved it but this is literally everything I can want in a portable

So I was wondering.. do you always say compooter?

I am so lucky, I got my switch in mid June, but thankfully it’s still unpatched. Great video btw!

very informative easy to understand. nice video!

make more of this videos. fr your content is very good for the amount of subscribers that you currently have. keep it up

can you also run games like you can on a pc? like set your own res and graphic settings and stuff. Would be pretty cool to see because most triple a games run at 720p 30fps

And here I was about to get rid of my launch day switch thinking of upgrading to the OLED version. Didn’t know it had some value to it lol.

I’ve jailbroken multiple old consoles before but this video has shown me more

This is an awesome video! I think you just inspired me to get this done to my Switch OLED lol. PC gaming from my bed sounds like a dream.

Are you on 14.1.0.? I have a jailbroken OLED on 14.0.0 right now not too sure the latest update will work properly. Plz let me know thanks. Update: I tried the new update and everything went smooth. Im now on 14.1.0!!

I've learned a lot today. handyman stuff.

Let me just say that was one of the smoothest sponsor segways I've ever seen

Great stuff!

I really hope sometime in the future Nintendo will add more themes to the Switch.

Its useful for taking OSRS on the go, and all you have is the switch, dock, M&K (optional), and wifi, and TV

I'm really liking my experience with my new Olded Switch.
