I've never messed with the internals of my unpatched v1 switch. I rebooted to payload (hekate) to update Hekate/Atm for the 16.0.1 FW and I got this funny error about being unable to init eMMC. Hekate wouldn't even read the eMMC in the Console Info tab.

I just shrugged copied the new Hekate and Atmosphere files onto the SD card, rejigged, updated FW (with Daybreak) and everything now seems fine on 16.0.1. Console info in Hekate shows the eMMC, nothing runs slow, no funny errors.

Is there any easy way to check if the eMMC is going to fail soon? Some smartmontools equivalent for Switch?

    I wonder if they could get CPUs to run that hot then use the heat to power a steam turbine to power the CPUs....
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Good idea, or at least power the GPU
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    It's not the movies or games downloads that I would worry about, like breaking into networks, downloading encrypted things, spying on network traffic. I have seen so many "Top Secret" seals on files when I was a kid
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I was obsessed with finding UFOs, a surprising amount of US files where stashed on computers in other countries, China back in the early 90s omg sooo much

    Yea that crazy, I've never tried hack into anything, I just pirate, and my ISP have send me 3-4 letters, so had to VPN it

    Ship to ship communication software for the Navy although without access to the encrypting chips it was mostly useless
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I bet now a 4090 could probably crack it? Hmmm maybe not even back then I'm pretty sure they where using like 1024 bit encryption
