QUICK ANNOUNCEMENT My office/gameroom is undergoing renovations for the next few weeks. For anyone wondering why I haven't added a new video showcasing how to add more games to NSO. Here's a video on how to do it by eradicatinglove in the meantime th-cam.com/video/1AWg-yYY6lQ/w-d-xo.html Take care, and thanks for checking out the channel!
Modding my switch was the coolest thing ive every done. And it honestly isn't that hard also. I just wish nintendo made themes so we wouldn't have to mod them
I really, really hope that nintendo at some point introduces new themes we can use for the switch... i miss the 3ds themes with the background music and everything TvT
As much as I agree that they should add themes, they probably aren't gonna. The past few updates that move up a number haven't added anything special. I think Nintendo is starting to slow down the switch so it just wouldn't make sense for them to add it now. But idk maybe I am completely wrong and they are adding it tomorrow, you never know with Nintendo.
Honestly this is awesome. I have modded a few other of my consoles (Wii U, 3DS, Wii) and I’ll probably be waiting a bit on modding my switch. I hope that homebrewing on the switch and the switch OLED can get to a point where it’s as safe and noob friendly as it is on prior consoles. I do have hope and I’m certainly willing to wait… haha.
This thing is going to be another "vita" story. When the next next gen console/handheld coming out sometime in the future, people will find put how to put all the mods from the ps1 all the way until probably the current one 😂
Yeah it took quite a while until Vita's were easy to mod past the version 3.60. I hope it ends up being that simple for the Switch, I'd buy one instantly 😊
My v1 switch was collecting dust for years but since I became more busy with college related stuff I wanted to get back into handheld gaming for commutes and in general downtime and stuff and modding my v1 switch is one of the best things I’ve ever done for gaming for me
I don't have a Switch or a Steamdeck, but I have a modded Ps3 and trust me it feels so great having so many games for free and the possibility of customize it and emulate many consoles in it. The Bad thing is that you gotta be aware of which apps are not suitable, learn a lot of thing to prevents some mistakes, and things like having all apps updated in order to don't have any issues when updating Hen (Like happened the last months). And many many other things that may look overwhelming, but once you gather enough information and experience you feel really fine.
Yup, I agree. There's always a bit of a learning curve when it comes to modded consoles, but with a bit of trial and error, you'll be on the right track to unlocking the full potential of your console.
Imagine how much money Nintendo could make if they sold a switch model with all the capabilities of a modded oled. Absolutely insane how much they could make with this untapped market.
I wonder about this all the time. I guess they're just wanting to milk the Nintendo Switch Online service, as far as retro titles are concerned. Why get people to simply buy a port of an old game when we can make them pay for it monthly? That's the mindset.. As far as themes go, they're just missing out on that market lol
what idiotic comment???,.,,why would they sell a modded switch???...by doing this they might have digged ground of there business to be buried in that ..no company will sell a modded console which can be used for piracy to hurt there business...you seems to be a kid get some chips and snacks and enjoy playing games and watch kids programs
@@rockykhan6338 people are gonna mod it anyway, so why not make a quick buck off it? plus, i meant without the piracy stuff (why would they do that), i just mean all the cool stuff that was showcased within the video you just watched
Very nice machine you got there. I recently picked up a cheap Switch Lite, and I plan to modchip that guy with an RP2040 based "HWFLY". I've done two RGHes on an Xbox 360 before, although the Switch is definately gonna be much smaller. I personally feel that the Switch will be the last ever console with such a crazy hardware exploit, at least for a long time. It's similar to the Xbox 360 in a way. Both were busted wide open from flawed CPU design.
@@sayianprincevegeta7969 I must've not soldered the eMMC cable properly, as something shorted and the console showed a blue screen then showed nothing at all.
I just got back my Zelda themed OLED switch modded. For me, I want to play in addition to the Switch games, all of my classic NES, SNES and GB games that I already have in my collection.
This was a phenomenal video I'm definitely spreading the word for your channel so it can increase subscribers but I have to say I'm thoroughly impressed and I would definitely be interested if possible to do everything that you have there it would fit with the other handhelds I have and I would be forever grateful keep up the good work and thank you very much for any help or advice that you have but you're exact setup is excellent
This is very cool. Awesome to see how far the switch modding scene has come despite it being a lot less accessible to mod than Nintendo’s past 4 consoles I really wish the Switch was more powerful. Having a modded Wii U and 3DS is still worth keeping around because Switch can’t reliably emulate GameCube, Wii, and 3DS. And not every big Wii U game got a port. Regardless I think I do want to mod mine eventually. I do have a v1 switch and it works fine, though I wouldn’t mind upgrading to an OLED eventually and sending it over to that Etsy guy to get the modchip installed.

@@Levi463 Thanks for the reply.

The PC emulator also allows you to rewind time and fast forward. Along with saving estate. The Nintendo rewind is definitely smoother looking. But it works
Hey there you have an amazing switch, I know you said type out Nyxi Joy pads but is there any way you can post a direct link cause the ones I’m finding ore slightly different. Also a link for the chip if possible. Thank you 👏🏼
Here's the pads nyxigame.com/?gclid=Cj0KCQiAjbagBhD3ARIsANRrqEsyxhVgbDP6Fs_asEIuH6WxvroXjAGzRPVkED0ic2yoTKm-WebErwIaAvEJEALw_wcB As far as the chip goes it's the HWFLY chip, but my installer found and installed it so I have no idea
Oh btw friendly reminder, sometimes put you moded switch back to the normal theme that is dark not white because if you use colorful themes for too long mostly what happens is pixels can die or sometimes playing games the pixels will be very pixelated
hey this really inspired me to unlock my switch’s potential thank you. I have a question about your SOH Forwarder icon.. how with two files was that possible?
how hard was it to change your layout to look the way it does? I don't necessarily want that background, but I'd like to have something with a little more life. Anything would greatly help. Thanks!
just letting you know you can move in the menu with the dpad allot quicker than the analog stick the reseaon you keep getting stick drift you use 100% of the time the analog stick i still own my gray joycons with my friend because i use the d pad while moving in the menu both in game and in the xmb home . also does the switch can play 3ds games ok ?
Have you noticed any effect with battery drop by modding the device like this? Awesome video man! you got me thinking on the potential of what to do with my switch now
No, quite the opposite, actually. I have much better battery on the OLED than on my V1. For reference, I can get about 3.5 hrs of continuous playtime on Tears of the Kingdom (handheld with high brightness, and overclocked to max safe settings)
@@sayianprincevegeta7969 Hey thanks, i finally have a modded oled, everything ok. My system version is : 15.0.1 /AMS 1.4.0 / E . Is ok if i dont update to 16 ? Just to leave it like it is, will affect my console in any way or is mandatory to update my modded switch ? Can you do a video of this ? Thanks!
@soaremicheledavid6020 Can leave it as is until you need an update to play something specific. Eventually a game will come out that'll likely need an update, but you'll be good for a while
Thanks for the video! You have made me really interested in modding my switch when u mentioned the two separate boots! I have modded my psp, vita, PS (1-4), 3DS XL, & Wii, yet I can’t do this hard mod! Will shoot u an email. Thanks again 🌷🙏
About that friend who modded this for you 👀 he taking orders? Or what’s the appropriate place to get this done/reach out to someone who can and trustworthy?
Sorry for the delay on this! Life stuff has been keeping me occupied 🙏 In the meantime, Eradicatinglove beat me to it with this tutorial here th-cam.com/video/1AWg-yYY6lQ/w-d-xo.html Let me know if you have any issues, and I'll do my best to get a tutorial out soon. Thanks for checking out the channel
$550 is fair for sure. But I'd go with a Steamdeck if you're wanting a console for mostly emulation. The deck is better at emulating most things, but obviously not switch games
@@sayianprincevegeta7969 ok that’s what I was thinking, it would also be cheaper, but I mostly like playing switch games and I don’t think I could live with the literally 2 hours battery life you get with demanding PC titles on the deck. I’m looking forward to see how much the Asus Rog Ally costs, it looks like a much better device and if the price rumors are true then that would top both the deck and switch for me! But I also recently started looking at game streaming and it’s also a really interesting option. I streamed Botw at 4k 60 on my iPhone from my PC and it runs great and has crazy battery life. This might be a more practically option, if I sell my entire switch game collection (which I never use because I use cracked games on my modded V1 switch lol, I get $600 to spend. I might just stream games on my phone and just spend the money on a monitor or Apple Watch or something lol. I feel like if I get any game console, I won’t really use it that much tbh.
@@Ash-bl7vm The thing about Deck battery life is that it's just not restricting itself like the Switch does. If the Switch cranked the resolution like it was docked, it'd have a shorter battery life too. Cap the framerate at 30 or 40, run with video settings the Deck can easily handle, set the TDP of the hardware lower (yeah that's a setting they give you) and you can get significantly more than two hours out of it. It gives you the freedom to burn through the battery quick if you want to and most people have no self-restraint.
@Emma Madison The Switch dock does not add any compute capability to the console, it's literally just a stand with a few ports. Despite that, Switch games consistently run at a much higher resolution when docked, because there's no need to worry about energy consumption.

I have a rule where I don't mod current systems. Thank God the next switch or Nintendo console or whatever it is is supposed to come out soon because switch modding scene looks fantastic. Until then I'll continue to enjoy my 3ds and Wii. Mayve I'll haxk the Wii U and aet rhat up!
Once you have your chip installed, I recommend checking out the HATS pack. It'll get you started with all the basics to get you going. After that, you can slowly start adding plugins, games, and programs
Nice video man. One question, if i but in the modchip. Can i still update the switch to latest version to be able to play switch games online? Or are nintendo quick to send out patches that destroys the modchip?
Can you send a list of all the apps you have on your switch ? Also where to get all those apps from ? Would appreciate the guide, as 18.1.0 has been out for while and i just didnt want mess it up. I heard that people who use custom cfw might get soft bricked, as if you use packs that are modified by different people.
That's great 👍, just wanted to know where did you get your plugins form, as are there any links or maybe you have discord with a pack maybe ? Sorry to bother you so much, it's just hard to get information and help. Kindly do let me know whenever you have time, thanks.
@sayianprincevegeta7969 appreciate it that you are taking time out of your busy life to reply 👍, hope to get the same setup as you in some way and see what I might be missing out 🤞
i was abt to pay someone 200 to mod my oled 😕 but with nintendo tracking ppl down, acquiring shipment details and suing ppl.. im scared asf i’m finna js sell it and get a steam deck
200 dude youre being scammed here in Australia apparently there are people who will do that for only $20 not that I have ever paid them to do that for me but I know friends of mine who did pay $20 to do that and I am considering getting that $20 service
@@sayianprincevegeta7969 I have a question I trying installing a ds game on Tinfoil but it says it may cause problems to the homebrew should I be worried?
Good question! Actually, most people don't realize that when you have a modchip, if there's a major firmware update on your sysNAND, then you WILL have to update everything on the emu side as well. Usually minor updates won't affect anything though. Best rule of thumb is just don't update unless you have to.
@@sayianprincevegeta7969Rule of thumb is to update emunand first and research and see if sysnand would be safe to update to before doing so? I’m about to buy a modded switch so I’m wondering
I’ll be modding my switch for the first time at the end of this month - I’ve had the damn thing since sept 2018 and have barely used it due to performance hitches - how did you get that overclock feature during the botw showcase?
Not sure if you still read comments on this but I’ll throw it out there, how could i get this done for my own oled switch? i’m not super good with electronics but i would love to get my switch modded for smash and such. Great video too
You'd have to find someone who could install a mod chip. Then, once you've done that, I recommend checking out the reentry guide to set up the sys and emuNAND 😁👍
@sayianprincevegeta7969 would you be able to tell me who chipped your oled switch? I think I saw you say the person who did yours was located in the UK and that would be really great for me :)
@lpsamyrose Sadly, he's no longer doing chip installs. Last I heard, life was getting too busy to be able to handle any more installs at this time. Maybe one day in the future, he'll pick it back up. 🙏 Thanks for checking out the video!
@@sayianprincevegeta7969 Nintendo is making lives difficult. People have to go to the extent of buying a hundred dollar chip online and having to have solder skills to put it in. Why can’t Nintendo just make the Home Screen more customizable and instead they’re spending money on lawyers
I wish nintendo would pull a microsoft and give us a type of dev mode. But that doesn't sound like nintendo. A new soft mod method for v2 switches would be better, but that might take years.
I don't really see nintendo ever doing that. They are actively copyright striking everything they can, as well as creating new updates that kill homebrew on dead systems like the 3ds.. It's so weird that they do this 😅
Interesting, sysnand no mod mode, emunand modded mode, interesting setup u got, i wanna mod my switch and maintain online services, i dont got an oled but i got a V1 switch, what have u done exactly do get this setup of yours
The Switch is not running a PC port. It's running a Switch port of the PC port. Someone had to make that happen, it's not a feature of the modded Switch that it can somehow play PC games.
Hi mate. What’s the name and brand of those joy con with neon blue? I ask because I bought hori split pad pro but it’s a fair bit too big for my hands and I can’t use sticks, properly. Regular joy cons are way too awlkward to hold and play because too small but like I say, hori split pad pro is too big. I did recently see the hori split pad mini version and I might try them at £45 but I just want a few options.
These are nyxi joypads, but they're somewhat big so they may not be what you're looking for. I have bigger hands so they work great for me. I highly recommend them
@@sayianprincevegeta7969 ah, well maybe I’ll give the hori split pad mini version, a try. Just a pit pissed as my first hori split pad cost £50 and no good for me. If the mini version are too small, maybe I’ll just cut my hands off 🥺😁 thanks for reply brother 👍
@@grahamkelly8662 I don't recommend the hand cutting 😅 but I do hope you find something that works well for you, bro. Thanks for checking out the channel
The install process I followed gave me three FWs to boot into EmuNand, stock, and some combo of the two. Your's didn't have the combo, did you remove it or your install process simply didn't risk that method? and do you know how to remove it actually?
I think you're talking about sysMMC, right? I have it as well of course, but I simply removed it from my list. You can adjust what shows by going into /bootloader/hekate_ipl.ini Just make a backup of it just in case 👍

You "can" but I really wouldn't risk it. I've even seen people on reddit talking about how they were banned for that very thing because a mod was listed as "online safe" and it turns out that it was not
Is it possible to go back and forth from modded to stock so you can play online games because I play splatoon a lot online if so can you make a video of a demonstration thanks
Hello Saiyan warrior can you do video of how to use the Odin I literally just got mine but I watched old videos on how people get roms and for me it’s giving me a problem like the dolphin mm for example it says 404 on the page I don’t have a computer or laptop I want a full detail video on how to get all emulators a updated one tho that’s why I’m requesting a new video for this to show how do I get games
I have a V1 switch that needs to be shipped out for repair, do you believe Nintendo could stop my system from being exploited on a hardware level when I ship it out ?
I hear ya. I don't update unless needed, so that's something I rarely have to deal with. Usually, when I do, I just uninstall my theme first, then update, then reinstall it.
can you make a video of the things to look out for to not get banned? obviously its still on us even if we follow directions and still get banned. just some verbal insight.
So, essentially what you should do is partition your SD card to have an emuNAND or emuMMC. This would be completely separate from your stock system, but essentially a copy. Once you've successfully created the emuNAND, you can drop a config file into the system that will automatically block access from nintendo communicating with your emunand. This will prevent them from accessing your console in any way, thus (virtually) eliminating the risk of a ban. More details here: rentry.org/CFWGuides
Odin 2 will have the most compatibility. The Switch will have its fair amount of upkeep if you plan on keeping the software updates current, but it's not too bad
@christianv5539 Yup, the Odin 2 will be perfect for those! The Odin one even handled those well, so you'll be good to go 😁 I made a video a while back on the Odin if you wanna check it out th-cam.com/video/no3tOQoa-mo/w-d-xo.html
I read so many places saying the switch needed to be original firmware for modding, but is that just for softmodding? I guess any version of switch can be modded with a chip?
Kind of. Your switches firmware doesn't really matter and all switches can be modded with a chip. Some Switches (V1's) can be soft modded with a small jig, but will have to have the payload pushed every time they turn their console off. Or it goes back to normal

The PC emulator also allows you to rewind time and fast forward. Along with saving estate.
The Nintendo rewind is definitely smoother looking. But it works
For sure!
Hey there you have an amazing switch, I know you said type out Nyxi Joy pads but is there any way you can post a direct link cause the ones I’m finding ore slightly different. Also a link for the chip if possible. Thank you 👏🏼
Here's the pads

As far as the chip goes it's the HWFLY chip, but my installer found and installed it so I have no idea
Oh btw friendly reminder, sometimes put you moded switch back to the normal theme that is dark not white because if you use colorful themes for too long mostly what happens is pixels can die or sometimes playing games the pixels will be very pixelated
Check out Wulff Den's video about screen burn in on the OLED. It shouldn't be a concern for most users
hey this really inspired me to unlock my switch’s potential thank you.
I have a question about your SOH Forwarder icon.. how with two files was that possible?
Sure thing!
The SoH.nro is the game. So if you forward to that application the game will play. The other files are for saves, settings, etc.
Dude this is shit that needed to be on the switch years ago! The opportunities Nintendo missed out on is insane.
I completely agree
I also agree
how hard was it to change your layout to look the way it does? I don't necessarily want that background, but I'd like to have something with a little more life. Anything would greatly help. Thanks!
Super easy to change. There are thousands of themes already made, but you can always make your own if none of those call out to you.
NX Themes
just letting you know you can move in the menu with the dpad allot quicker than the analog stick the reseaon you keep getting stick drift you use 100% of the time the analog stick i still own my gray joycons with my friend because i use the d pad while moving in the menu both in game and in the xmb home . also does the switch can play 3ds games ok ?
3ds can be hit or miss depending on the game
Have you noticed any effect with battery drop by modding the device like this? Awesome video man! you got me thinking on the potential of what to do with my switch now
No, quite the opposite, actually. I have much better battery on the OLED than on my V1.
For reference, I can get about 3.5 hrs of continuous playtime on Tears of the Kingdom (handheld with high brightness, and overclocked to max safe settings)
@@sayianprincevegeta7969hey, how is ToTK with overclocked OLED NS? Does it still have frame drops?
@@Ugandan_key Very few, if any at all. I haven't noticed any dips since 1.1 released

Deciding between this and a steam deck and I can’t decide! Is $550 fair for a brand new modded OLED special edition?
$550 is fair for sure. But I'd go with a Steamdeck if you're wanting a console for mostly emulation. The deck is better at emulating most things, but obviously not switch games
@@sayianprincevegeta7969 ok that’s what I was thinking, it would also be cheaper, but I mostly like playing switch games and I don’t think I could live with the literally 2 hours battery life you get with demanding PC titles on the deck.
I’m looking forward to see how much the Asus Rog Ally costs, it looks like a much better device and if the price rumors are true then that would top both the deck and switch for me!
But I also recently started looking at game streaming and it’s also a really interesting option. I streamed Botw at 4k 60 on my iPhone from my PC and it runs great and has crazy battery life. This might be a more practically option, if I sell my entire switch game collection (which I never use because I use cracked games on my modded V1 switch lol, I get $600 to spend. I might just stream games on my phone and just spend the money on a monitor or Apple Watch or something lol. I feel like if I get any game console, I won’t really use it that much tbh.
@@Ash-bl7vm The thing about Deck battery life is that it's just not restricting itself like the Switch does. If the Switch cranked the resolution like it was docked, it'd have a shorter battery life too.
Cap the framerate at 30 or 40, run with video settings the Deck can easily handle, set the TDP of the hardware lower (yeah that's a setting they give you) and you can get significantly more than two hours out of it. It gives you the freedom to burn through the battery quick if you want to and most people have no self-restraint.
@Emma Madison The Switch dock does not add any compute capability to the console, it's literally just a stand with a few ports. Despite that, Switch games consistently run at a much higher resolution when docked, because there's no need to worry about energy consumption.

I have a V2 switch and I wanna install a modchip. I need to know how to properly setup the mod like you do
Once you have your chip installed, I recommend checking out the HATS pack. It'll get you started with all the basics to get you going. After that, you can slowly start adding plugins, games, and programs
The retroarch colors are actually way less accurate. Gameboy color games are oversaturated to compensate for the GBC screen.
There are accuracy modes that can be switched on to fix it. I just prefer the vibrant colors

i mean it’s nice to have the pokemon games on home screen but i want to play on full screen so im just using an emulator for it and it’s amazing
Yup, so I can play full screen on this too 😁 I just preferred the 4:3 aspect in some cases so I set it to that
Nice video man. One question, if i but in the modchip. Can i still update the switch to latest version to be able to play switch games online? Or are nintendo quick to send out patches that destroys the modchip?
You can still update. Just make sure to setup the emuNAND and keep everything unofficial on that 👍
Awesome video about modded switch! Is it possible to play Mario games (nes, snes, n64 and whatnot) as local co-op with joy-cons?

I heard that people who use custom cfw might get soft bricked, as if you use packs that are modified by different people.
Currently, all of the plugins I showed in this video are working on 18.1 👍
That's great 👍, just wanted to know where did you get your plugins form, as are there any links or maybe you have discord with a pack maybe ?

Question, does it mess up your emunand when you do an official update to your switch on the sysnand? Thanks great video!
Good question! Actually, most people don't realize that when you have a modchip, if there's a major firmware update on your sysNAND, then you WILL have to update everything on the emu side as well. Usually minor updates won't affect anything though.
Best rule of thumb is just don't update unless you have to.
@@sayianprincevegeta7969Rule of thumb is to update emunand first and research and see if sysnand would be safe to update to before doing so? I’m about to buy a modded switch so I’m wondering

I heard it was Tesla but it looks like there are parts to it
Right, you'll need tesla, as well as sys-clk. Once you have both of those you'll be good to go
Its insane they dont have themes for real. The 3ds was awesome for it.
Completely agree!
Oh do you have Citra and Dolphin and MelonDS?
Citra and MelonDS, but not Dolphin. I have Dolphin on the Android partition of the Switch due to lacking performance on Switch HOS

Not sure if you still read comments on this but I’ll throw it out there, how could i get this done for my own oled switch? i’m not super good with electronics but i would love to get my switch modded for smash and such. Great video too
You'd have to find someone who could install a mod chip. Then, once you've done that, I recommend checking out the reentry guide to set up the sys and emuNAND 😁👍
@sayianprincevegeta7969 would you be able to tell me who chipped your oled switch? I think I saw you say the person who did yours was located in the UK and that would be really great for me :)
@lpsamyrose Sadly, he's no longer doing chip installs. Last I heard, life was getting too busy to be able to handle any more installs at this time.
Maybe one day in the future, he'll pick it back up. 🙏
Thanks for checking out the video!

It varies, but around $600 USD
Hey man did you use HWFLY or something like that for your OLED?
Yup, sure did 😁👍
@@sayianprincevegeta7969 Nintendo is making lives difficult. People have to go to the extent of buying a hundred dollar chip online and having to have solder skills to put it in. Why can’t Nintendo just make the Home Screen more customizable and instead they’re spending money on lawyers
@quasium1 its not hundred dollars expensive anymore tho only 40 dollars US at most (i found many around 20 bux for v1 and v2 modchip) but i agree
I wish nintendo would pull a microsoft and give us a type of dev mode. But that doesn't sound like nintendo.
A new soft mod method for v2 switches would be better, but that might take years.
I don't really see nintendo ever doing that. They are actively copyright striking everything they can, as well as creating new updates that kill homebrew on dead systems like the 3ds..
It's so weird that they do this 😅
Interesting, sysnand no mod mode, emunand modded mode, interesting setup u got, i wanna mod my switch and maintain online services, i dont got an oled but i got a V1 switch, what have u done exactly do get this setup of yours
You have to partition your SD card to house both sides, but it was fairly simple
The Switch is not running a PC port. It's running a Switch port of the PC port. Someone had to make that happen, it's not a feature of the modded Switch that it can somehow play PC games.
Cool!

Hi mate. What’s the name and brand of those joy con with neon blue? I ask because I bought hori split pad pro but it’s a fair bit too big for my hands and I can’t use sticks, properly. Regular joy cons are way too awlkward to hold and play because too small but like I say, hori split pad pro is too big. I did recently see the hori split pad mini version and I might try them at £45 but I just want a few options.
These are nyxi joypads, but they're somewhat big so they may not be what you're looking for. I have bigger hands so they work great for me. I highly recommend them
@@sayianprincevegeta7969 ah, well maybe I’ll give the hori split pad mini version, a try. Just a pit pissed as my first hori split pad cost £50 and no good for me. If the mini version are too small, maybe I’ll just cut my hands off 🥺😁 thanks for reply brother 👍
@@grahamkelly8662 I don't recommend the hand cutting 😅 but I do hope you find something that works well for you, bro. Thanks for checking out the channel
The install process I followed gave me three FWs to boot into EmuNand, stock, and some combo of the two. Your's didn't have the combo, did you remove it or your install process simply didn't risk that method? and do you know how to remove it actually?
I think you're talking about sysMMC, right? I have it as well of course, but I simply removed it from my list. You can adjust what shows by going into /bootloader/hekate_ipl.ini
Just make a backup of it just in case 👍

I have a V1 switch that needs to be shipped out for repair, do you believe Nintendo could stop my system from being exploited on a hardware level when I ship it out ?
I wouldn't think so, but you never know with those guys 😅
@@sayianprincevegeta7969 😂💯
I don't bother with themes anymore, whenever my switch accidentally updates it's a real pain in the ass reverting it and then reapplying the theme.
I hear ya. I don't update unless needed, so that's something I rarely have to deal with. Usually, when I do, I just uninstall my theme first, then update, then reinstall it.
can you make a video of the things to look out for to not get banned? obviously its still on us even if we follow directions and still get banned. just some verbal insight.
So, essentially what you should do is partition your SD card to have an emuNAND or emuMMC. This would be completely separate from your stock system, but essentially a copy.
Once you've successfully created the emuNAND, you can drop a config file into the system that will automatically block access from nintendo communicating with your emunand. This will prevent them from accessing your console in any way, thus (virtually) eliminating the risk of a ban.
More details here:
rentry.org/CFWGuides
Can I softmod my V1 without chipping and achieve the same result as your switch?
Yes
Yup, I have a soft modded V1 as well
On the fence between buying a rp4 or odin 2 or just doing this mod. Not sure what option to do
Odin 2 will have the most compatibility. The Switch will have its fair amount of upkeep if you plan on keeping the software updates current, but it's not too bad
Odin 2 is best? I just wanna play all the dreamcast and ps2 games I loved since they're so expensive to replace now

I read so many places saying the switch needed to be original firmware for modding, but is that just for softmodding? I guess any version of switch can be modded with a chip?
Kind of. Your switches firmware doesn't really matter and all switches can be modded with a chip. Some Switches (V1's) can be soft modded with a small jig, but will have to have the payload pushed every time they turn their console off. Or it goes back to normal
