    Care to share more info? This sounds right up my alley. And maybe a bit of perma-attaching joycons. Maybe I just want an OLED lite haha

      Sure, I used https://socalconsolemodding.com/, I have the second gen switch. I shipped him a 512GB samsung micro sd card and the switch, no accessories. then i paid him and he shipped it back. his username is https://old.reddit.com/user/L3gendaryBanana on reddit, can message him for more details. very happy with the work and turnaround time.

      essentially mine works like this now - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=37EHkYqcXb4

      i used this gamepad also, the stock ones are too small for my hands, but they work great for multiplayer stuff and for the kiddo - https://amzn.to/4guNgvn

      there are much nicer ones, but i’m happy with the size and “bulk” of this one, feels good and makes it more durable feeling to me. and the price was where i wanted it.

          Some 1st gen switches do not need a modchip. The tegra exploit was patched long befofe the release of mariko units, and those patched models still require a modchip to run CFW.

              Neat, you’re at odds with the definitions used by the entire switch CFW community, but I’m glad you get to feel like you know what you’re talking about.

              Erista is v1, Mariko is v2. ‘First gen’ means Erista. This is how I’ve seen it for the entire six years I’ve been developing homebrew for the switch. It’s how my documentation lists it, it’s how everyone else’s documentation lists it. Otherwise you’re trying to delineate between multiple asynchronous hardware revisions, which with nintendo’s arbitrarily applied board codes boy does that get convoluted…

                  Are you new here because you’re doing this wrong, genuine self awareness isn’t a thing we do on the internet. We just get snotty at people talking about our specific interests because we haven’t slept in forty-some hours.

                  Sorry. I sincerely hope you have a very nice day!

                  first off, you started off with i “got ripped off” and you don’t even know shit about me or my equipment. of course im going on the defensive, don’t cry about it. learn and move on.

          Good for you, but I got what I wanted, I don’t feel I got ripped off.

          Also, mine is second gen, already checked that jigger thing. I misspoke in other comment.
