    Hacking Potential Anti-Piracy Mechanism in AC:NH

    tl;dr version: If you're using an illegitimate copy of ACNH, the game may alter its RNG to make rarer fish impossible to obtain. This was based on catching 100 fish by visiting an island on an illegit copy and seeing how many were rare fish, then trying to do the same by visiting an island from...

Original post: So a really weird problem started happening today, not sure if anyone else has encountered this or knows how to fix it? I'm currently using a 2017 iMac and normally...

    Hardware Ugreen Ethernet Adaptor: Misbehaving or just Broken?

    I received a Ugreen Ethernet to USB 3.0 adaptor for my Switch, and so far it's been nothing but a headache. Right now my Switch is docked with an official Nintendo Wii LAN to USB 2.0 adaptor connected to my router via Ethernet. This setup gives me a very stable connection, although the download...

    Hardware [Question] Superglue And PCBs

    Hypothetically speaking, if I had a micro USB port soldered to a 3DS and it was working properly, but there's a small gap between the connector and the PCB surface, would it be safe to draw superglue into the gap via capillary action to secure the connector? The idea is that there's a risk of...

    Hardware [Question] Safety of USB-C Passthrough Cables?

    So, I've heard about not all USB-C cables being the same and how some third-party type C accessories can potentially cause permanent damage to the Nintendo Switch. However I was wondering if USB-C passthrough/extension cables carry the same risk? I'm looking at a cable like this: It's a USB-C...

    Hardware [Guide] Why Pixels Look Different between 2D and 3D Modes

    (Not sure if this was supposed to go in the tutorials forum, so I've put it in the hardware forum instead. Please let me know if this isn't the right place for this kind of thread.) So I read a few threads like this one a while ago about how people found the 3DS graphics to look better in...

    Hardware N2DS XL uses a better TN panel?

    So, I was able to get a New 2DS XL and after testing it for a while, something I noticed was that the TN panel of the top screen actually looked quite a bit better than expected, even at slanted angles. It's not as good as an IPS panel, but still visibly better than the TN panel from a...

    Gaming Could the Master Trials and Shrines have originally been a debug feature?

    During the development of previous Legend of Zelda games, Nintendo often added special test rooms to debug builds. These test rooms were usually independent maps not connected to any other area in-game and contained various objects to test different aspects of the game. Here are a few examples...

    Hacking Switch Recognised Through USB

    Preface: This is not a hack or anything, just something I observed. Might be useful for homebrew, might be useless. When plugged into a PC via a USB cable, the Switch console isn't just drawing power to charge, but actually seems to communicate with Windows. When connected via a USB 3 port...

    This is a very limited workaround I found that allows the same game purchased on one Nintendo account to be run on two Switch consoles you own at the same time. Please be aware that this will only apply to one game and will stop working as soon as you close out of that game. This will not allow...
