Possible SX Switch modchip clones appear on Taobao marketplace

e3Qc7ix.jpg

A challenger approaches, as a possible imitation product based on Team Xecuter's SX Core modchip has surfaced online. The discovery was initially posted to Chinese webforum Baidu, in which two images were uploaded, with claims of them being clones of SX Core. Supposedly, this knockoff chip would support Atmosphere CFW for the mariko and ipatched Nintendo Switch variants by soldering it exactly like you would with the SX Core. These clones have already appeared on Taobao and Xianyu, though they're currently priced at 700 Yuan ($108 USD) at the cheapest. While they may have "secretly shipped" off to various retailers to sell, it's still unknown as to whether or not these chips work, or if they're reliable. No word has been made as to whether or not the same mystery team has also cloned the SX Lite chips that have Switch Lite support, either.

New chips have appeared. Recently, Xianyu (Chinese retailer) has a batch of chips that can be bought in large quantities, which only support atmosphere, which is different from the previous tx chips. The imitated chips have already been secretly shipped.

i was gonna have a chinese dude get it for me but he said it was going to be 50 USD because of paypal fees
Price would be about right btw. The device and schematics is £20/$28 dollars on its own so that including postage is good. I was paying near £45 but yeah didn’t have much luck with them!

Nope didn’t even get that far. I just put the request in with 42agent then half hour later cancelled. Maybe seller would post direct if paid via bank transfer?
I asked by message on their facebook if I could order the schematics files and here is their response:

"Sorry! We have checked the link you give us , we can't buy them for you . As the product involves those who crack chip content, belong to tort product. Thanks for your kind understanding!"

I'm sending you the links but for the moment I couldn't buy them (need an Alipay account), I'd have to find an intermediary person or agent in China.

    I know the pricing of electronics nowadays isn't "how much it actually costs" but "how much we can get away with", but putting up a poll is just cynical.
