I don't think it's lack of interest, over the years they have streamlined the process of hard modding, nowadays you don't even need a glitch chip you just need to connect a wire between two points to attain a similar result.
I imagine that it's likely a similar type of refinement will happen in switch hard modding.
Very doubtful of full soft mods happening anytime soon though unless the keys are obtained somehow.
3ds can be softmodded easily
Well the 3ds is much older and also never had it's hardware exploit released to Nintendo before the New 3DS came out.
Not the case with Nintendo because as Kate Temkin on her moral high horse decided to kiss Nintendo's ass and give it away to be patched on all later Nintendo Switch revisions (wasn't entirely her but she helped Nintendo directly). So there goes the Switch's equivalent of NTRboot and also probably its eqivalent of B9S as well since the New SoCs also disable auto payload rebooting functionality in AMS.
With how much the bootloader has been documented it seems unlikely anything besides a glitching exploit (or massive leak at Nintendo) will be able to mod the later Switch revisions, you never know of course, but it doesn't look promising
So only v1 systems can be nodded?
How are things like switch lites modded in that case?
By use of a voltage glitching chip that glitches the chip to bypass checks and inject the boot code. It's a different exploit altogether and requires hardware modding. That method can mod all Switches from Late v1 systems all the way up to the OLED and the exploit might even work on the Switch's sucessor (would require a new chip for the new hardware and likely modifications to the glitching routine)
Hey Neo, would you be interested in helping to moderate this community? If so, let me know and I will add you.
Sorry for the late reply. Sure I would be happy to help out any way I can.
So, every switch mod needs external hardware?
I mean all the v1 needs is an rcm jig and a pc. Nothing else.
RCM jig? What's that
Try searching for
rcm jigon Amazon.Yeah, I meant about softmodding, so I guess the security of the hardware is actually good yet...
