    Hacking TX releases English SX Core and Lite documentation

    Well, that sucks. Fortunately the selling value for SX Pro and Lite is more than enough to get a brand new SX Core which is the one I needed. It's somewhat inconvenient, but not terrible.

    Same here. Great stuff. P. S.check your spam folder. Mine was there too.

    Also the reward was 1 core and 1 lite. Maybe the cause TX hasn't sent the translation prizes yet is because SX Lite's release was delayed if I recall correctly.

    Not yet. I guess they have a lot in their plates at the moment.

    Hacking TX Releases SX OS v3.0.1 Beta with 'Stability Improvements'

    Great stuff! Looking forward for reboot to payload and Choi on Mariko if possible.

    Oh yeah, this. This is worth noting. Do not use Thermal Grizzly Conductonaut (or any other Liquid Metal) just because it is the best stuff. If you put liquid metal on the die and it goes down to the caps or really any contact in there, your Switch is toast.

    You only need thermal compound on the chip die and the place where the heatpipes touch the chip shielding. The excess paste all over the caps is just a result of Nintendo applying too much of it.

    I don't think electrical tape would hold that temperature or stick tight enough to prevent bridging. Kapton maybe since it resists well over 300ºC. I don't know about the technique itself tho. I have never tried that and the area is very small, but it's pretty smart.

    Wow, this pic does really put into perspective how mindbogglingly small are the caps on the package. I wouldn't try to install this with my hobbyist soldering iron for my life. The risk of screwing up a $300 console is too high.

    Same. In fact they already had several translators just a couple hours after posting the message for help, when I wrote offering mine. Lots of people from all around the world are closely following everything about this modchip. They may have gotten a dozen applications every day easily. I just...

    Hacking Question Will the SX-lite modchip support Atmosphere?

    TX is not preventing you to run whatever you want, so in theory, what I heard is that you can change payloads, but they need to be compiled for Mariko/Lite consoles equipped with SX. And most of them aren't. So the answer would be: not yet. Maybe if devs get their hands on modded consoles and...

    Nintendo Switch 'Mariko' units firmware keys dumped

    Fortunately, in some regards, the rest of the world is not like Japan and Nintendo doesn't have that much power out here. And this comes from someone who loves Japanese culture in general, who has been to Japan and has long time friends living there. I used to idealize it because of manga, anime...

    This applies for anywhere in the world where modchips are illegal to sell: don't look for a modchip installation service. Look for console, laptop, smartphone repair shops and ask them if they can do "mods", "upgrades", or maybe "jailbreak" your console. Tell them you will provide the mod and...

    You are welcome! Maybe they did upload a slightly fixed one. I'm pretty sure they read these forums :) I remember now, the original said "adhesivo térmico". But that doesn't really make a difference. Paste (noun) in Spanish is Pegamento or Adhesivo. But Thermal Paste is not Adhesivo Térmico...

    AFAIK they haven't uploaded the new ones yet. Yes, in my version they are capacitors -as they should be- and advises to use thermal paste instead of the thermal glue in the original translation. Imagine someone applies thermal glue on a Switch and has to redo a solder later. Bad times. Since I...
