Hacking Why Nintendo can't rely on Pin 10 reading

[smf]

Help me with what? With the fact that the pin is sometimes low, thus it is not reliable?

It's not sometimes low. All buttons work by either connecting or disconnecting the ground signal from an input, no buttons ever drive signals high.

If it's sometimes low like you say then you we don't even need to ground it, just boot up with the other buttons pushed.

On the switch side, pin 9 is always ground. Pin 10 has a 10kΩ to ground, and is driven to 1.8v when powered on.

Obviously we don't know as much as the devs do. If it's that much of a concern, speak with them. We're getting our information from the same place as everyone else. If this is a serious problem, and Ninty CAN detect it, then this needs to be brought up to everyone, not just people who don't know, right?

I didn't know this was a genuine concern for the common user.

It is when it could possibly lead to bans of consoles. Yes, use CFW, risk a ban, I know. But if it's avoidable, we should be talking about it, right?
