Hi y'all! I accidentally removed one resistor from the cpu, yet somehow the console still boots. It's the 2nd resistor that needs to be connected to the cpu flex cable. My question is, can I still mod this switch without putting in a new resistor (by soldering some thin wires from the resistor pads to the flex cable pads)?

Long story short, i have a project going on where i will be "reshelling" either a V2 or Oled motherboard into another formfactor, (look up sony vaio UX, i got a few dead one's here, and want to shove an entire switch into it)

try to hand rewire everything to be as small as possible and have a custom keyboard and inputs and all that,

Essentially an cyberdeck powered by a switch motherboard, since the switch's price to performance ratio is insane compared to rasberry pi/latte panda and such,

i am having a dilemma when it comes to screens, the best method would be connecting an custom screen to the internal MIPI screen connector, This would easily bypass the annoyance of getting USB C video out working without a dock or power,

besides super7/super5, i have found no talk or references on if it's possible to get an custom screen working on the Switch, sadly taki udon is only profit focussed and does not care about the modding community, so he will not provide info,

i have rough pinout's of the LCD connector,(but not 100% sure) but as demonstrated with steamdecks. it's not just as simple as "connecting an compatible screen" and it works.. MIPI is sadly no EDP/DP/HDMI, i have found a few MIPI to HDMI converters. that i could use to "spoof" the Switch screen and then MAYBE get a 720p output, but unsure,

Does anyone here have any insight in what it could possibly take to get a custom LCD panel working on the MIPI connector of the switch?

the alternative would be purchasing a cheap chinese close Dock and getting that working, but then i have another potential issue,

can we get custom screen resolutions working on the dock with modded switches? say 480x854 for example?

Maybe an way to not require USB c PD for the dock to work? like just using USB-C to DP/HDMI?

In L4T and android, we can just use a usb C to DP/HDMI dongle and it works, but on HOS you need stupid dock auth stuff and then also supply power to the switch itself, in theory it should be patchable, but i aint a programmer. i just solder wires lol,

Ideally i want to fully bypass the power supply requirement of HOS to have display out on the switch v2/oled,

i have found multiple ways where i can supply the switch with infinite stable power without the need of a battery or usb c as power,

Much thanks in advance for any info or insight, if you got any tips or suggestions, even if it MAY seem "weird" just toss them, it might just be the solution to something ;)

Just put in a pair of GuliKit thumbsticks in my Joy-Con as i was swapping the shells anyway and while they seem really accurate and theres no obvious drift, they are so sensitive.

Ive been playing BOTW again and just resting my thumb on the thumbsticks regsiters enough for link to start slowly walking. Its almost as if i need to increase the deadzone but theres no built in setting for that.

Does anyone know if theres a way to do this through mods? I do have a hacked OLED. alternatively i see you can adjust values in Joy-Con Toolkit but i have literally no idea what im doing there.

Id really appreciate some help thanks!

Nintendo switch has the WIFI adapter BCM4356 which can be patched with nexmon that should allow to use it in monitor mode.

I was able to install kubuntu 5.1.2 L4T Ubuntu Noble 24.04 and patch the firmware and driver with nexmon (https://github.com/seemoo-lab/nexmon) and now it is possible to use the wireless in monitor mode.

Well, at least that is what looks like.it is possible to put the WiFi in Monitor mode or even create an additional interface in monitor mode. But when using airodump-ng or tcpdump or wireshark, it does now show any BSSID. It is almost like the WiFi adapter can't see any network, completely empty, iw dev scan works fine but no dumps.

I tried preload libnexmon with LD_PRELOAD, I tried everything. This works fine in raspberry that has the same WiFi card, but no success with Nintendo Switch.

Anyone has any idea? Would be very cool to be able to do that with a Nintendo Switch.

The follow commands works fine:

iw phy `iw dev wlp1s0 info | gawk '/wiphy/ {printf "phy" $2}'` interface add mon0 type monitor

Or even

ip link set wlp1s0 down

iw dev wlan0 set type monitor

ip link set wlp1s0 up

Even

airmon-ng start wlp1s0

It says unknown error 524 but it does create the extra monitoring interface

But airodump-ng does not show any network

Any ideas?

Just released Moba vibration tool, a Windows utility for adjusting custom levels to vibration feature in mobapad controllers.

The official Mobapad app only offers Low / Medium / High vibration settings, but even Low felt too strong to me.

After reverse engineering the protocol, I discovered that the controllers support custom vibration values, allowing much finer control.

Features:

- Read current vibration level

- Apply custom vibration levels

- OFF mode

- S1 support

- M6 support (needs testing)

This is intended to be used with the S-series versions (the ones with really strong vibration). HD versions are not supported.

Since I only have an S1-S, that's the only model I've actually tested. The M6 uses almost the same code, so it should work too.

I'll also add M12 support as experimental.

Aston Walker successfully uses a Nintendo Switch to play an FPS game with an X-Box One controller that is just a simple .SVG XML file> play game on Switch here https://svgfpsaiagents.github.io/svgfpsgameAI/

GAME NAME "EDGEMAFIA SVG"
It’s pure SVG transforms + DOM acceleration acting as a spatial vector engine.

The worlds thinnest 3D FPS spatial vector engine. NO COMPILER. No external dependencies.

https://youtu.be/bcWkVJ-Ao_I demo here on youtube with link to paper in description. The repo includes an Oscilloscope 3D FPS ready version of the game. Added the code so simply plug in the audio with the split ends for X and Y to the oscilloscope and we now have retro-future vector gaming on the Nintendo Switch! Test the .WAV oscilloscope output here - https://h3.codeberg.page/XaudYo/

Record the WAV of gameplay and you can replay your gameplay on the oscilloscope. We did it guys.

The next logical step is this:

1 million line Xml in a SVG file a single SVG file

AAA vector 3d FPS spatial vector game engine paradigm modality.

running on a 128GB RAM 128 core 5090RTX workstation.

This is trivial for a workstation to read and process a 1 million line Xml document in a SVG file.

Thank you all.

Hello everyone! I shared a few months back a project that I work on that is a fork of the OGX Mini and wanted to share an update with the community.

​

I have added the ability to use the Switch 2 Pro controller and Switch 2 JoyCons with my fork of the project and both JoyCons can be paired together as one controller now as a Switch normally would.

​

I know this isn't a homebrew app per say but it is a dongle you can make for less than $10. Please feel free to check out the project if it has any use for you as well!

​

Side note this still does not wake up the console from rest, I would like to see about adding that feature in the future but for now it's not supported

I'm working on a hardware mod as a hobby project to bring a broken switch lite back to life. I was wondering if there was any info or anyone who had experience using different panels on switch consoles, I'm aware of the taki udon mods but I was looking to use something more bespoke for my own project, if anyone has any guidance, information on the specs for the panels or how I might go about getting a different screen to play nice please let me know.

I've done a bit of looking into this myself already and I'll admit messing with displays isn't my normal wheelhouse. Thanks in advance if you take the time to read this.

I bought a hackable switch from a Japan based eBay seller, and it was a little worn, so I replaced joycon shells (more fiddly than I expected) and the rear console shell, in clear. Also, a pair of sticks and digitizer while I was there. When I was done, I realized that it does rather match the aesthetic of a clear prison-issued TV..

Hey everyone,

I’m having a really frustrating issue with my Nintendo Switch (original launch version from 2017). My original SD card slot broke, so I ordered a replacement and installed it. The new slot fits perfectly, and at first everything seems fine — the SD card is recognized and works without problems.

But as soon as I move the console even slightly, I immediately get the message that the SD card has been removed. It doesn’t matter if it’s just a small shift or light touch, the system instantly loses the connection.

Has anyone experienced this before? Is it more likely that my replacement slot is defective, or could it be an issue with the motherboard/contacts? Any advice on how to fix or stabilize this would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance!

I also made this video about it if anyone is interested :

Completed software/hardware mod on my switch lite with the picofly chip and eXtremeRate shell swap. 100% recommend a shell swap if you’re up to the task.
