Hey guys,
I need your help. I was wondering if the XAJ70042339499 is patched or not? On some sites it says it’s patched, on others it says it’s safe to buy.
Serials beginning with XAJ4:
XAJ7004000X and below are safe to buy
XAJ7004100X and above not safe to buy, possibly patched
XAJ7005000X and above definitely patched
Its basically both.

Well I've looked through the Excel doc and there isn't a single switch serial that starts with XAW101 like mine it seems. That "1" in the 6th field makes me think it's much newer, perhaps, as there's usually a 0 in there for all numbers Ive seen so far.

Yours fall in the possibly patched zone. You're the only one who can tell if it's patched or not by testing. If you have it with you at home, test it. If you haven't bought it yet, don't buy, and keep looking for a lower serial.

I tested it, it's patched. Unfortunately I had to open it.

Hi All,

I bought a unit with the serial XAJ40030xxxxxx today. I should be good right since it is in this range:
Serials beginning with XAJ4:
XAJ4004600X and below are safe to buy
XAJ4004700X and above not safe to buy, possibly patched
XAJ4006000X and above definitely patched

I haven't bought a jig and stuff so i cannot test it atm.

Thanks for you reply! :-)

Serial: XAW40010xxxxxx
Serial on device matches serial on box:Yes
Region: USA
Firmware: probably 4.1.0, Updated to the most recent Firmware(6.2.0)
Color option:Neon Blue/Red
Store: Target
Was a bundle (if yes, which): No
Purchase date: 12/20/2018

My switch is on the most recent firmware and it WORKED with the patch test guide and i got the QR code and the 0x7000


I also checked with "TegraRcmSmash" and it shows me: 0x0000, what appears to be "PATCHED", but does not execute.

My question is: if with the "Trinket M0" is it safe to work ?, even if I tried and patched it with the "XECUTER"?

    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".
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It's a DS Lite in a slightly bigger DS Lite shell.

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

    Nothing special about it other than it's more comfortable than the Lite

    @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

    i think only the red mario kart edition phat was v5
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    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."

    anyways, we need to re-normalize physical media

    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.

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

  • 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
