Hacking Discussion R4S Dongle revealed for Switch

[Kioku]

Okay, but why?

 

[MaxiBash]

I expected this to come.
Now, Nintendo can’t ban them for “unauterised software”, right?

 

[mariogamer]

There is an easy to make DIY dongle that's <10 euro right?
Isn't it a better idea for the users that really want a dongle, to just get the parts and make it themselves?

If youre talking about the router, then you still need a cable. Which cost more than those chinese thingy.
Also it is for convienience (having an integrated usb c port)

God damn it, now the R4 name is infecting the Switch too? I thought we were finally rid of that name.
Let's hope this doesn't mean a wave of a million clones all using the R4 name.

Interesting! Probably a clone of SX, but still curious about what it offers.

Not sure how you would even clone SX Pro since all it is is essentially a payload loader, there's nothing unique about the hardware, and the software is free to download and not locked to SX Pro.
Unless they actually include a cracked copy of SX OS that is (but I doubt that)

95% sure that this will have a timebomb in it.
*looks at R4 cards for DSes*

"120 mAh LIPO battey"
nope

...it's not supposed to work outside the switch anyways, who cares about what battery it has inside?

Oh ! Would you look at that ! Actual credit to the people who originated this, wow !

Except, the misspelling of team Reiswitched aside, they don’t want to be affiliated with piracy products.

 

[Spoda]

Dat englich

 

[WerWolv]

Interesting that they even included EdiZon and other homebrew. Might even get one just for the dongle/launching hekate

 

[Canna]

Don't forget that lovely Customer firmware... (Custom) you dumb fcks

 

[DaFixer]

Let the cloning begin...

 

[VitaType]

My first reaction to the title was "Come one. Let the R4 just go, enough people used this/similar sounding names", but nice to see that this time it's a product actually from the R4 team.

Edit:

But this time it's a product from the company that made the original R4.

if credits go to HB's designers, THAT MEAN YOU GUYS DONT pay for OS but you pay for Dongle and jig

Had a look on their quick start document...

It tells you to use tinfoil to install hulu.nsp, then use LayeredFS to load devmenu to install other nsp.

what??


And the xci support is converting xci to layered fs format on pc then use mod_Plague to load it... ffs

 

[kb7cxWMSrPwL]

neither shocking nor surprising, except for why they and others didn't do it sooner.

 

[aerios169]

i will buy everything that can run emunand.

 

[kumikochan]

Don't forget the warranty... so it might be some more €.

basically if they ship to Europe by European law it is a minimum off 2 years warranty and not 1 year like they claim

 

[8BitWonder]

Why would R4 come back for the Switch? Well come to think of it, it's probably just a clone of SXOS that will brick your Switch like their Gateway clones bricked many 3DS systems

Pretty sure they removed the brick code in one of their os updates, 1.3 I think.
Though it's looking like the R4 team is just using Atmosphère.

This is not emunand at all, it's just a dongle.
