Anyone here with any knowledge will tell you this has to be a modchip. Full stop.
Knowing tx, it will eventually come at best, as a quick solder board. Again full stop.
V-temp, care to give us the status on what console and what the range of suffered failure and or longevity issues was. Obviously due to modchip installation outside failure in the installation itself and user error.
This is great news for the community from a reputable team, although have it noted, the team is not quite the same as it was in their last hardware production. That said, there is no reason to doubt this news at all, given our current understanding we have every reason to believe its here and will be available soon.
Like it or not.... This WILL be the plarform that properly launches, expands and supports to eol the switch homebrew community in an all encompassing manner. Again, a full stop statement.
