Comment on Rumored Nintendo Switch Flash Cart Video Shows Multiple Games on a Single Cart
dual_sport_dork@lemmy.world 6 months agoJust using an SD card requires modding your Switch to run, homebrew and, er, “backups,” right?
A properly constructed cartridge that can masquerade as a retail Switch cartridge would make owners who aren’t willing to modify their console very happy indeed. That’s how the various NDS/3DS carts work – just plug and play (literally).

Soft modding requires a 5c plastic part off eBay, it’s already safe enough to do and requires no modifications.
But a flashcart is far simpler.

I thought that only worked on older models before 2018?

Correct! The newer models (including all OLED versions) were already patched from the factory (or more accurately, redesigned to prevent the soft-mod from working).

Yes, basically only switches made in the first year can be hacked (without soldering).

You need a lot of asterisks on that statement…
