How to hack Patched Nintendo Switch and Switch Lite?

Up till now, 2020 has been a pretty exciting year for the usual scenes with Citra coming soon on Android, RetroArch r2 being released for the PS4 & DigiTimes reporting that a new Switch model will come later this year. In this article, we have some more good news for Switch owners with a pictorial leak of Team Xecuter’s mod chip!

How to hack Patched Nintendo Switch and Switch Lite?

 

A new Nintendo Switch Lite hack has surfaced, with a teased release happening early next year. While the original Nintendo Switch was hacked rather quickly thanks to a hardware overlook, it would appear that the Lite version that Nintendo released back in September proved to be a little more difficult for hackers. Nonetheless, after some long work of digging, Team-Xecuter, the creator behind the Switch SX tool for the original Nintendo Switch has published a new video, teasing he SX OS 3.0 running on the Switch lite.

Interesting enough, they don’t show a dongle connected whatsoever upon booting up, something that is required for a cold-boot for the original Nintendo Switch SX hack. Don’t get excited for this release too much though as it will most likely be behind some sort of paywall as with all TX supplied hacks. This hacking method currently isn’t available yet, though the team promises it will be released early next year.



Expect Nintendo to continue releasing more software updates in hopes of tightening the security of their devices. As with previous updates, they have done a decent job at patching known exploits, however, hackers appear to remain a step ahead as they are quickly cracked. We don’t condone the practice of hacking hardware for the sole purpose of downloading illegal games, but there have been some cool features to come out of the community such as hardware overclocking and a few useful applets.

When will the Switch/Switch Lite modchip be released?

 

At the early of 2020, we can get the cleared news from Maxconsole, the collaborators of the Team Xecuter, According to their relevant information, the Xecuter team is already producing the first batch of products for hacking Mariko and Patched switch, and is expected to be available after the Chinese New Year.

From what he agreed to tell us, they are still improving the product on both Mariko and Patched Switch so first shipment will only be after Chinese New Year. Unfortunately a good month away (or more). For information, he added the product also work on unpatched console, so basically all classic models function with this product. Still the product is coming, getting closer, and a separate product for Switch Lite is also underway. I guess we will have to be a bit more patient for more info.
The pictures are only showing part of the installation because he was concerned to be identified by board numbers or such. But he promised he will send us more info in the weeks to come. So probably the next 4 weeks until CNY is over and that we can hopefully also receive our own final review samples!
