      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!

      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.
