Ok, so I purchased a nintendo switch to fix, and I have gotten it to turn on, but it's being a major pain in the behind. It's a possibly stolen kiosk switch from a store, with a not working screen backlight. The screen will have to be replaced, since it has lots of scratches and I can only partially see what is on it by sitting a flashlight on the screen. I used TegraRCM to try to hack it, and created an SD card using sdsetup.com. I managed to get the thing into RCM using tinfoil on a joycon, and sent the file over. TegraRCM says "Smashed the stack with a 0x7000 byte SETUP request!", which I take to mean that things worked. I look over at the switch, put my flashlight on it, and by moving it around I can see a QR code on it, a moving smiley face, and some text at the top that is too small to be read via flashlight. The problem is that this QR code can't be scanned in any way, since I have to stack flashlights around it for it to be even partially visible, which often blocks part of the QR code, and there is also scratches in the screen where the QR code is. All the guides I have seen don't mention this QR code in any capacity, just that you connect your switch to your PC, use Tegra, and BAM your switch is modded. I have put my SD card in the switch. My gut is telling me that this happens when the SD card on the switch doesn't have the proper files on it, and this QR code is going to tell me to set up an SD card. If so, that means my SD card reader is broken and needs replacing. Am I right?

Uhh, I did try using biskeydump.bin once, and it did display the QR code and other stuff, like I was talking about. It also happened when I used the Hekate file that came with TegraRCMGui

I went back and looked at that image in that thread, and yes, I'm pretty sure that is what was being displayed on the nintendo switch. I remember that smiley face and it talking about fusee-gelee for part of the text. What does this mean?

    It's not a Nintendo / iQue official product, it's a 3rd party custom.

    @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

    but that's a long shot

    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.
  • AncientBoi @ AncientBoi:
    I don't pirate them, I Use Them :mellow:. Like I do @BigOnYa 's couch :tpi::evil::rofl2:

    @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
  • rqkaiju2 @ rqkaiju2:
    i like physical media because it actually feels like you own it. thats why i plan on burning music to cds
  • cearp @ cearp:
    It's nice to not have to have a lot of physical things though, saves space

    Nor clothes 🤮 . Saves on time, soap, water and money having to wash them. :D
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @rqkaiju2, Physical media is a great source for archiving your data, none of that cloud storage shiz.
