What's the best way to download switch games for free in 2019?

Do you want to play 100+ Nintendo Switch Games for free? Do you know there is a way you can play free Nintendo Switch games? If you would like to know the solutions, please read this post, for playing over 100 free games on your Nintendo Switch, you just need a SX Pro or RCM Loader and SX OS License.

Hacking Nintendo Switch with SX Pro or RCM Loader

Yes, only after hacking or jailbreaking the Nintendo Switch, you can be able to play over 100 Nintendo Switch games with a micro sd card. Then, what do we need for hacking the Nintendo Switch, even for the V8.1.0 firmware console? The answer is SX Pro or the RCM Loader and a SX OS license code. All of them are products from Team Xecuter , which is the first online site who claims that they can crack the Nintendo Switch with a CFW to play free games and hombrews.

And in 2018, they succeed finally, they release out the SX Pro, and the SX OS license for installing their Exclusive OS CFW for Nintendo Switch. The SX OS custom firmware is the Only Nintendo Switch CFW supports emulating retail game card to play free Switch roms in .XCI directly on the console, other Switch CFWs just supports .NSP Switch games, you can think the .XCI for Switch as .3DS for Nintendo 3DS, the .NSP for Switch as .CIA for Nintendo 3DS.


What is SX Pro? The SX Pro is a combination of a usb dongle, a joycon jig and a sx os code. It is made up by the 3 items for hacking the Nintendo Switch and the 3 ones are all we need to crack Nintendo Switch V6.0 firmware consoles. The usb dongle is flashed into a sx os license code, so it is used for injecting SX OS payload and booting SX OS CFW on Nintendo Switch. As to the Joycon jig, for jailbreaking the Nintendo Switch, firstly, we should turn the console to RCM mode, that’s main function of the jig. Currently, SX Pro can support every Nintendo Switch firmware version and play 100+ free Nintendo Switch games&homebrews on them!

What is RCM Loader and SX OS License? The RCM Loader can be regarded as another version of SX Pro, the only difference between them is SX Pro has the bulit-in SX OS license key but the RCM Loader hasn’t. It’s used to inject and boot CFW on Nintendo Switch consoles, not limited to SX OS, SX Gear is compatible with other CFW payloads, for example, the Atmosphere and ReiNX.

The SX OS is Nintendo Switch CFW, for installing it to a Nintendo Switch machine, the SX OS license key is must to have. It is a 12 digits code. Every sx os code can be activated on A Nintendo Switch, it will be a invalid code if you use the same one on the Second console. The SX OS license should be bought from official resellers from Team Xecuter too, it’s not free as the SX Pro and SX Gear. For users of SX Pro, you are no need to get the SX OS code again, because there is a SX OS license code in your Pro usb dongle.

How to play Nintendo Switch Games for free?

If you want to play free Nintendo Switch Games,at first you need to use the sx pro or sx os to hack Ninitendo Switch, then get the game rom from online store, but now it's difficult to get over 100 switch game rom, and you can buy one pre-installed sd card from Flashcarda.com, then you can play 100+Nintendo Switch Games for free.

And we also support the own game list, you just need to send your game list to us via mail admin@flashcarda.com, and we also have Xecuter SX Pro, RCM Loader in stock, and during our working time, purchasing the sx os license, you can get the sx os code within 5 minutes.

Nintendo Switch 9.0.0 update now, can we safe to update it?

The latest firmware update for Nintendo Switch has arrived as expected, it has reached version 9.0 directly since v8.1.0, and it is true that the Nintendo company has added some wonderful features in this update, Can we safe to update it now? and can the Xecuter SX Pro or SX OS License still work on Nintendo Switch 9.0.0?

Update news of Nintendo Switch 9.0.0

The newest system update for the Nintendo Switch has dropped. Version 9.0 is now live and comes with a couple new features. The biggest feature added is the ability to check invites on your user page. Meaning if a friend has invited you to play a game with them it’ll show up on your invite menu. 

The feature is currently not available to use yet but it seems that with the Switch lite on the horizon this might be a feature that will be implemented into games such as Mario Kart and Super Smash Bros real soon. Another notable feature is alarm notifications which states that alarms can be checked or deleted which is probably for parents who want to limit their children’s time on their Nintendo Switch.
Added the following system functionality:

• Added a search feature for the News Channel.
  • Channels can be searched using filters or free text.
• Added “Display QR Code to Check In” to User Settings.
  • You can display a QR Code on-screen to check in using your Nintendo Account.
• Alarm Notifications have been added to System Settings > Notifications.
  • You can check or delete pre-set alarms.
  • Alarms can be set up only within supported software (to be added at a later time).
  • A controller firmware update may be required to use this feature.
• You can now configure touch screen sensitivity settings.
  • Select between Standard and Stylus sensitivity (optimized for stylus input).
• Added the option to turn on/off the system button input (Nintendo Switch Lite only).
  • When this setting is turned off the system no longer receives input from the console buttons, with the exception of the Capture and HOME Buttons, and can only be operated from a wirelessly paired controller (sold separately).
  • This setting is on by default and can only be turned off if a compatible controller (sold separately) is wirelessly paired to the console.
  • The setting will automatically turn back on when the console is restarted or after returning from sleep mode.
• Added “Online Play Invites” section to the User’s page.
  • Invites from friends to join online play in supported software will be displayed in this section.

• General system stability improvements to enhance the user’s experience.

• • Resolved an issue where some users can’t start the Fire Emblem: Three Houses game, and get an error instead.

A new feature has been added for the upcoming Nintendo Switch Lite which releases on September 20th, an option to turn the systems buttons on or off meaning that you can use other controllers and not worry about the buttons on the Switch lite.
Recently the Switch was hit with a major bug that has now been fixed in version 9.0, the bug in question was that if you recently purchased the season pass for Fire Emblem: Three Houses your game would not load and an error would occur. A new sensitivity was added to the switch as well, you can now change between standard and stylus modes. The stylus mode is an optimized setting for those playing in handheld mode and are playing something like Super Mario Maker 2.

Can Xecuter SX Pro or SX OS License work on Nintendo Switch 9.0.0?

No, the Xecuter SX Pro and SX OS License can not work on Nintendo Switch 9.0.0, we all know what the systerm update means for CFW, this firmware contains new keys and may also have changes to tsec firmware which blocks SX OS at this time The team xecuter also give us the recommendation.DO NOT Update to Nintendo Switch 9.0.0, we need to wait for the official site announcement. 

And for Nintendo Switch 8.1.0 or lower, the SX Pro dongle, sx os and other cfw still can work on it to download and play switch games, you can still use them to hack Nintendo Switch.


Summary: Repeat it again, DO NOT Update to Nintendo Switch 9.0.0, It is highly recommended that everyone do a nand dump right away. Backing up your nand is never a bad idea, especially when a new firmware comes out like 9.0, and set up an emunand too.

The ultimate Nintendo Switch Hacking Guide in 2019

We collect the Nintendo Switch hacking guide here to hopefully help out anyone wanting to attempt this on their own switch. And help to point anyone in the right direction.

Will I get banned by Nintendo?

If you connect to Nintendo servers after hacking you might get banned. It's been that way since hacking started and it wont change. Some people are lucky and don't get banned, it's best you stay on the safe side and avoid risking a ban outright.
If you wish to keep your WiFi connected you can use 90DNS, which simply blocks your switch from sending data to Nintendo's servers.
emuNAND is a feature that allows you to avoid being banned while running custom firmware. emuNAND is now a part of Atmosphere.

I have version "Insert latest firmware release" will this still work?

Yes, Nintendo cannot fix this bug without direct access to your device, any version should work fine as long as your switch is unpatched (see checking if your switch is unpatched below). Make sure the custom firmware (CFW) you choose is also capable of supporting your version, if it's recently release then yours may not be supported yet.

Assuming you’ve never hacked a switch before here's what you’ll need:

• A PC running windows 10, capable of reading a micro sd card
• You can use macos or linux but you will need to work that out on your own. I suggest checking out sdsetups webcfw
• micro-sd card
• usb-c to usb-a cable
• A ‘Jig’ (read below)
• An unpatched Nintendo Switch

Hacking a switch can take quite a while especially if you are planning to run backups, so make sure you have a lot of free time.

What is a jig?

A Jig is jumper that connects between the first and last pin in the bottom of the right Joycon rail, connecting these enables RCM (Recovery Mode) while your switch is booting.

A Jig can be anything that connects these two pins like a paperclip, a specially made one from anxchip.com, or you can 3D print your own.

Entering RCM mode

• Power off your switch
• Insert the Jig into the right side Joycon rail
• Press and hold the volume up button, then press the power button.
• Your switch should silently turn on and the screen will remain blank. If you see the Nintendo logo it did not work, re-adjust your Jig and try again.

If your switch seems to be bricked, try holding the power button for 10+ seconds.

Checking if your switch is unpatched

You can simply put the serial number into ismyswitchpatched.com which gives a rough idea as to whether or not the exploit will work, the steps below confirm that the device is unpatched.

To check this you will require the Jig to enter RCM mode.

• Download TegraRcmGUI and biskeydumpv6
• Open TegraRcmGUI and go to settings > install driver, then run through the install process for the USB driver
• Enter RCM mode using the instructions above

If it worked TegraRcmGUI should report that your switch is in RCM mode

• Copy biskeydump into the TegraRcmGUI folder
• Copy the folder location from the address bar
• Open a new command prompt window as administrator and enter: “cd [paste file location]”
• Run the command: “TegraRcmSmash.exe -w biskeydump.bin BOOT:0x0”

If your switch is showing a QR code, your switch is unpatched. See the PegaScape section at the bottom of this guide

SD card setup

Now RCM mode is pretty much useless without anything to load onto your switch.

SDSetup is a nice website that allows you to download every necessary piece of software all at once. In case you're a bit lost in what to choose, here are some pre-configured ones with extra software to load themes, games, etc..

Atmosphere setup

ReiNX setup

 

Which Custom Firmware (CFW) do I use?

Atmosphere and ReiNX are the two best CFW options, they both do exactly the same things and are only different in terms of code and how they work. It comes down to minor personal preferences between the two, and whichever gets updated to the latest release. If you cant decide, go with Atmosphere.

What about SX-OS?

SX OS is PAID. You can use it if you wish and the steps are the same, but now that there are free options I recommend you stay away from paying for it. The extra features of SX-OS includes .xci mounting and emuNAND for preventing bans.

Injecting your chosen CFW

If you plan on installing games that are over 4GB (i.e. Breath of the Wild), you will want to reformat your card as exFAT. To do this, please see the exFAT section at the bottom of this guide. I suggest you do this FIRST to avoid risking a ban.

1. Extract .zip folder that you downloaded from SDSetup
2. Place the contents of the folder titled "SD" onto the root of your SDcard
3. Place the contents of "Payloads" near your copy of TegraRcmGUI

• Optionally, place the "PC" folder onto your desktop

Now for injecting your CFW

1. Place the SDCard back into your switch
2. Plug your switch into your PC using the USB-A to USB-C cable
3. Open TegraRcmGUI
4. Select your payload (Atmosphere uses fusee-primary.bin, ReiNX uses ReiNX.bin)
5. Place in your Jig and enter RCM mode
6. Once TegraRcmGUI detects a switch in RCM mode press "Inject payload"

As soon as you can, create a full system backup.

Homebrew

You should already have the Homebrew menu available when installed with SDSetup

To access it hold the right Joycon bumper then select the photo album icon

It should then load the Homebrew menu with all of your installed apps

Themes

Use NXthemes Installer included in the SDSetup download, it's pretty straight forward, just place the theme file into the themes folder and hit install. Keep in mind that themes can cause system instability.

Piracy

You'll have to sail the seven seas to find downloads, last time I linked sources/homebrew apps they got shutdown. I've also received copyright notices.

Most games will be either a .nsp (eshop copy) or a .xci (game cart image)

If the file is a .nsp you can skip straight to installing with Goldleaf,

If it is a .xci file you can either install it using Tinfoil, or convert it using the steps below.

Converting a .xci to a .nsp

You will need to get the switch keys off your device, the easiest way to do this is to use the Lockpick.bin file downloaded from SDSetup.

• Put your switch back into RCM mode
• Inject the Lockpick.bin file and it should dump your keys to the switch folder

Download and extract 4NXCI

1. Drag the new prod.keys file into the extracted 4NXCI folder
2. Run 4NXCI-GUI.exe
3. Select your .xci file
4. Select the output location (i.e. in the 4NXCI folder)
5. Select your keyset file (prod.keys)
6. Press convert
7. One or more new .nsp files should be in the output folder

• Optionally, rename the .nsp files to the name of the game

Goldleaf

Goldleaf is a Homebrew app for installing .nsp files as normal switch games, so that they appear on the home menu and run normally. Goldleaf should be included with SDSetup, otherwise you can download it from the Homebrew app store.

To use Goldleaf:

1. Place the .nsp file(s) onto your SD card
2. Select install (to either NAND or the SD card)
3. Repeat for every .nsp file you have

The game should now appear on the home menu. If it doesn't work make sure you have enough storage space on the selected location. Alternately you may wish to use Tinfoil, which follows a similar process.

If the game is above 4GB, the Fat32 file system will not let you transfer the game onto the sd-card, there's 3 solutions for this issue

• The best option here is reformat the card to the exFat, see below on how to setup your switch for exFat.
• You can use Goldleafs USB transfer feature to move the game straight to NAND storage. The steps for doing this can be found here.
• You can split the .nsp files into smaller parts (not recommended)

exFat

By default the switch uses Fat32 file formatting, which has a max file size of 4GB.

If you aren't banned yet, you can format a SD card on your PC as exFat, place it back in your switch and boot without RCM or CFW. Your switch should prompt for an update, if it doesn't force it to check for one. WARNING: this may cause your firmware to be update to a version higher than the ones supported by CFW's. If this is the case use the alternate method.

ChoiDujour (for updates and exFat)

If you're banned, or you want to perform a specific update ChoiDojourNX is the best option.

ChoiDujourNX is a Homebrew firmware updater that prevents your system from 'burning fuses'. It can also be used to apply the exFat update without having upgrade to the latest version.

[link removed due to copyright]

Select the update you wish to use and start installing. Same as last time, if somethings missing or you spot an error in this guide please tell me. If you are unsure about anything, just ask or PM me and I'll try my best to help you.

PegaScape

PegaScape is a new exploit for patched switches running firmware 4.1.0 and below.

Can we hack New Nintendo Switch and Nintendo Switch Lite?

Recently, the "new" Nintendo Switch and Nintendo Switch Lite will be released, and we all known that Xecuter SX Pro is the best choice for Nintendo Switch hacking, so for the new version Nintendo Switch, we can hack it? Answers on the below.

What's the features of New Nintendo Switch and Nintendo Switch Lite?

For instance, the battery will last approximately 4 hours for The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild.

Switch Lite is for handheld/budget gaming, and feels better to hold。 The Lite is smaller, and easier to carry. It feels more like a variation on Nintendo's other handheld game systems, such as the Nintendo 3DS or 2DS or Sony's departed PlayStation Vita. You're removing features for savings. It's also a little more compact in handheld play, and that might matter for you, or for kids. The onboard screen is also smaller.

The 'new' Switch is the king of battery life, and probably the best overall choice. Nintendo's internal revamp of the original modular Switch looks to offer between 50 and 100% more battery life at 4.5 to 9 hours -- the original Switch, per Nintendo, lasts 2.5 to 6.5 hours. That's a big deal, even compared with the Switch Lite's promised 3 to 7 hours. It'll be worth waiting a few weeks: The extra battery life promise is so good that it makes me immediately want that new Switch over any other model.

 

Can we hack New Nintendo Switch and Nintendo Switch Lite?

 

No, there still no ways to hack New Nintendo Switch and Nintendo Switch Lite. After the Nintendo Switch Lite was announced, Nintendo Switch hacking community veteran SciresM left some interesting comments on his Twitter account.

In his tweet, SciresM warned those in the hacking community that he believes it’s going to be hard to crack into Mariko, the name of the new and improved Nvidia chip that now powers Nintendo Switch Lite. Mariko features some really strong security improvements, and as such SciresM thinks it will be hard to break into it for a very long time.



Summary: Although the new Nintendo Switch and Nintendo Switch lite can not be hacked, we can use the Xecuter SX Pro or SX OS（and other software）to hack Nintendo Switch, and now there are so many Nintendo Switch games released, it's time to buy one sx pro or rcm loader with pre-stall sd card from Flashcarda.com to download and play more switch games for free.
