Throughout the Nintendo Switch's life, we've seen modchips and softmods aplenty. What has been missing in the Switch hacking scene, though, is a flashcart; and if rumors are to be believed, one might be coming soon. A user by the name of After Time X shared on Twitter that they have exclusive information regarding testing of a flashcart that will work on all models and revisions of the Nintendo Switch. A video of "proof" was shown, of someone cycling through rom backups, and loading the games to play on their Switch OLED unit. According to the rumor, these flashcarts will begin shipping as early as next month.

but of course the deck is what the switch should have been. valve just showed nintendo how it's done

And the Deck has analog triggers which I love to use. I mean, digital triggers are okay, but it just doesn't feel right for me.

it reminds me of Sky3DS in a Switch form.
Pretty sure there will a new version out soon that has buttons to switch games like Sky3DS have

How would that even work? Switch carts are tiny compared to 3ds carts

AWESOME

R4?

a flashcard is the worst idea for piracy ...

I wonder why in 6 pages I didn't see a single person calling this a fake.

On the firsts pages.

On the firsts pages.

Every page. Multiple times.

I think that's the joke.

I don't think anyone actually said fake though. Also, the thread has been generally positive which is also a bit unusual. I almost don't recognise this place.

Now I am genuinely confused. We have people saying it's fake, even if it's real.

*Okay, rereading the thread I am seeing a completely different tone than I remember. I could have sworn I saw @linuxares counting on it being a fake on the first page.

**Thanks @Draxzelex for clarification. There are two threads.

I get why some are excited for a flashcart, but we have other means of playing Switch games so it's not like the DS/3DS era was.

[chrisrlink]

bet this won't even come to be because of those damn ninja

 

[Trip_Away]

At last, i can use homebrew in my patched Switch without hardmod

 

[Marc_LFD]

$200 for a flashcart? That's insane.

Might as well and just spend a bit more on a SteamDeck.

Or just get a v1 switch, the price should really be around $30-$60.

do some research

I think that was because it was already done in the discussion thread which was posted a few days before this got front-paged. Hardcore, as well as more skeptical, users would notice that thread before the average Temper and already posted their reservations about the validity of the video. Whereas this thread is now shoved into every user's face as soon as they log in meaning wider audience. Plus, I don't think those who already questioned the flashcard would want to do it again in an another thread.
