Hello here.
I just bought a Switch Lite for my son for Christmas.
I didn't follow close enough the Switch (Lite) scene, and was wondering what were the best solutions for hacking it, since many methods are existing / evolving / vanishing.
Are they any guide as precise as these ones : https://cfw.guide/ ?

Thank you for your advices.

The only solution for hacking Switch Lite is by a modchip called SX LITE. There is no softmods that you can do to it. You can find SX Lite on aliexpress afaik.

i heard someone said don't update lite upper than 8.1.0. there is a exploit in this version but not leaking for anyone. just known by SciresM.
Maybe Hos 8.1.0 lite can be softmod hackable in future.

the only way to hack mariko switch is insert a sx core/lite modchip in your console so far

The TX Leaders were not arrested. Two marketers were arrested. The team is still actively providing support for their product.

waiting atmosphere0.17.0 support mariko and you can also use a kind of payload named spacecraft to replace sx chip's firmware.

then the switch can power on under sx chip's but needn't sx boot.dat on sd card.

hekate 5.50 is supporting mariko console right now, just waiting for atmosphere 0.17.0 released. the spacecraft looks like sx gear's modchip version. but it's not official release.

*8.0.x
On 8.0.x you can pwn the kernel using TSEC hax, 8.1.0 patched this.
It’s not enough to properly run Atmosphere though, so I wouldn’t get my hopes up.

Sceires also said he doesn't plan to make anything out of that 8.0.X exploit himself and may never touch it at all according to a friend of mine, might be wrong as a result.

5 years? Oh well, I should stop hoping and upgrade.
See there are several issues with what he said. There is going to be a group of people who hold him to the 5 year deadline and complain if he doesn't release it within the allotted time. Then there is going to be another group of people who update then complain once said exploit is eventually released.

What a joke. Switch lite is a democratic cock sucking money pit. I'm not paying nintendo to pay nintendo to play old ass games.
Wtf
Do you HAVE to buy the games? No. So be quiet and cry somewhere else. No one is forcing you to either be here or buy/play Nintendo products/games.

Then don't buy a Switch if you can't afford the games, lol.

Come on guys, don't be like that.
Of course games are overpriced on this console.

The worst example I found, is Ori port, which is 300% the price of steam version. Generally, it's only a 10~20% inflation, but still.

Then, some are OK with it, some aren't.
Besides, we are in 2021 and handhelds have evolved, NS remains a 2017 ARM tablet, people expect more for their bucks. There are more efficient ways to enjoy real gaming on the go.

Then, they shouldn't buy a switch if they can't afford the games, respectively, if they think the technology is outdated. Sorry. But that's my opinion. No one forces them to use/buy the switch or it's games.

I see your point, you are definitely right.
But do you really you think that people are free once they are in an ecosystem ?

What I mean, is that NS price is attractive, comparatively to Sony and Microsoft counterparts.
As always, consoles are sold at loss, we all know why.

Once you're in, then and only then comes the real deal: accessories, games and services, where big N can make consequent income.

Of course people on GBATemp dedicate time to investigate these ecosystems, because they like it. But average people ? They don't and are, IMO, 'trapped' if they want to enjoy the bare-bone console they bought in the first place. I still think they are forced, because they have been fooled.

  • Jayro @ Jayro:
    Eventhough the New 3DS XL is more powerful, I still feel like the DS Lite was a more polished system. It's a real shame that it never got an XL variant keeping the GBA slot. You'd have to go on AliExpress and buy an ML shell to give a DS phat the unofficial "DS Lite" treatment, and that's the best we'll ever get I'm afraid.

    The phat model had amazingly loud speakers tho.

  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Jayro, I don't see whats so special about the DS ML, its just a DS lite in a phat shell. At least the phat model had louder speakers, whereas the lite has a much better screen.

  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    They probably said "Hey, why not we combine the two together and make a 'new' DS to sell".

    It's a DS Lite in a slightly bigger DS Lite shell.

    @SylverReZ if you could find a v5 DS ML you would have the best of both worlds since the v5 units had the same backlight brightness levels as the DS Lite unlockable with flashme

    A woman with no arms and no legs was sitting on a beach. A man comes along and the woman says, "I've never been hugged before." So the man feels bad and hugs her. She says "Well i've also never been kissed before." So he gives her a kiss on the cheek. She says "Well I've also never been fucked before." So the man picks her up, and throws her in the ocean and says "Now you're fucked."

    Agreed, that why I try to buy all my games on disc, Xbox anyways. Switch games (which I pirate tbh) don't matter much, I stay offline 24/7 anyways.

  • cearp @ cearp:
    @BakerMan - you can still "own" digital media, arguably easier and better than physical since you can make copies and backups, as much as you like.

    The issue is DRM
  • cearp @ cearp:
    You can buy drm free games / music / ebooks, and if you keep backups of your data (like documents and family photos etc), then you shouldn't lose the game. but with a disk, your toddler could put it in the toaster and there goes your $60

    :rofl2:
  • cearp @ cearp:
    still, I agree physical media is nice to have. just pointing out the issue is drm
