How do I hack the shit out of my oled switch

[–] Fiivemacs@lemmy.ca 24 points 1 year ago (1 children)

With a cleaver and buy a steam deck instead

[–] TIMMAY@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I wish, my pc is no longer capable of running games and I still need it for utilities and such (porn). The switch was a gift but I would probably have bought one anyway to be honest, but now I see the light

[–] Fiivemacs@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 year ago

From the OLED, of the steam deck?

[–] Timecircleline@sh.itjust.works 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

You're allowed a pc and a steam deck. There's no law against both.

[–] TIMMAY@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Maybe I dont know how a steam deck works lol I am woefully illiterate when it comes to some tech things. My understanding was that a steam deck still needed a pc to be streaming games from to some extent, is that not the case?

That is not the case. It's a standalone device that you can play pc games on. It is very similar to the switch in design, but able to play a whole lot more. You should definitely look into it.

You get a steamdeck.

Alas, the only easily hackable Switch's were made until about a year after release. To hack modern ones requires a special mod chip that isn't easily soldered on.
Nintendo unfortunately did a good job on hack proofing the Switch.

[–] ReakDuck@lemmy.ml 5 points 1 year ago (3 children)

But you say its still possible?

[–] xenoclast@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Yes, and with literally every other console over time it will get easier and easier

[–] Pirky@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

I haven't looked into the details myself since I got lucky with my used Switch. But, yeah, it should still be possible.

[–] Zehzin@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Yes, but you need a modchip and some knowhow. Or you find a guy

[–] ULS@lemmy.ml 4 points 1 year ago

Get a hammer and smash the fuck out of it.
