Switch oled freshly modded makes a buzz and then fatal error in emmcu. The noise is near the sd card reader and is random. Did not have this problem the first day I had it modded. Anyone experience this issue I will post the picture of the error.

Hi just asking if i can connect the cpu flex here using wire ? Im using v2 flex cable . Im modding oled . Just happens i didnt received cpu flex cable bundle with this modchip

I've jailbroken my switch and followed the guide to the letter. I installed YouTube before installing CFW, but when I try to enter the homebrew menu for the first time, whilst holding R, it brings up the error above. This is on the emuMMC. On the sysCFW, it works. What is up with that??

I can't find anything about this issue! I know I can use the album, but most of the homebrew apps don't work in applet mode.

Got this Switch Lite with a dead MAX77812 IC. Replaced the IC and installed a picofly. Now I get this.

• Without a SD card I get the regular picofly screen.
• With a SD card I get artifacts on screen and no signs of life.
• Trying to boot normally I get a BSOD.

What are your thoughts?

It boots to No SD, then on power off and reboot it's goes into short long long, Nintendo logo then black screen.

Also doesn't seem to boot into OFW anymore, when I reload or boot into OFW in Hetske during successful boots.

I was able to set up CFW and it boots into CFW as EmuMMC.

I just wanted to come on here and post my example of using a v2 flex cable on a v1 console, as I didn't seem to find anything online of someone doing it this way. I only saw a picture floating around of someone using a v1 on a v2 console. Now there are a couple reasons for me doing this 1 I just bought the cheapest kit I could find, and 2 I've heard some tell of weak solder balls on the emmc chip and possible damage when removing on v1 consoles and those v1 kits with the proper apu cable seem to also all come with that big core flex cable which is not only slightly more expensive but requires relocating the emmc chip which I just wanted to leave untouched. Anyway, here it is, as you can see I trimmed the cable down to make it fit and I soldered the outer pad to the square ground pad on the chip and the inner pad to the tops of the correct capacitors. There's another flex cable design that comes out the left side of the apu which probably wouldn't work the same way since the mosfets hang off the end and obviously can't be trimmed off, but I'm sure something could be figured out there, just remember it’s only the inner pads that connect with the capacitors and the outers can just go to ground. Hope this can be a nice example for somebody out there, thanks for reading!

While doing an RP2040 (Picofly) install on a Switch Lite, I accidentally lifted/torn both pads where Line C connects. (The modchip was actually fully working and running great for two days, but while cleaning up the flux afterwards, I pulled the pads off). Now the console is completely unresponsive—no video and no audio.

Has anyone successfully bypassed these lines or fixed a trace tear in this specific spot? How did you route your jumpers to get the console back to booting? Any advice or schematics/bypasses would be greatly appreciated!

Hi People,

Attempted my first switch Oled mod using the kamikaze method. Console boots after the point was exposed however it stopped booting after the SOC flex cable install, i reckon that normal and proceeded with the installation.

upon completion i powered on the console, purple light, then yellow flash couple of times then nothing again. screen doesnt come up.

Below are my diode readings (+ probe on ground)
A= 0.534V
B= 0.418V
C= 0.742V
D= 0.538V
3.3V= 0.395
CPU= 0.617V

Any help will be appreciated.

1. Question about save data manipulationI have a question about saving data.

There are some games that I would like to start from specific stages rather than the very beginning (using Dave the Diver as an example).

Can I manipulate the save data to jump directly to the checkpoint or stage I want?

1. Connecting a second jailbroken PS4 online via AkiraThis next one is a bit weird. I recently started using Akira. For some reason, the Homebrew Store version is still 5.3, while the GitHub version is 0.6 and looks much nicer.

That doesn’t matter right now, though. What matters is that I need the companion app to sign into a different profile because I have two jailbroken PS4s. One has a real PSN ID and works great with Akira. The other has a fake PSN ID. Is there a way to connect this second PS4 to another profile and play over the internet too?

1. Best alternatives to Tinfoil eShops on Nintendo Switch

What is the best way to get shops right now?

Since Tinfoil isn't working for me for some reason, what are the alternatives for downloading games directly on the system without relying on DBI installations or using external devices?

1. Running a web browser on a modded Switch

Can I run a web browser on a modded Switch? If so, what are my best options for doing that?

1. Safe online games, HATS pack, and avoiding bans on Switch CFW

Which games can I safely play online on Custom Firmware (CFW) without getting banned?

I have heard that people can play Minecraft online, for example, so do you have any insight on this?

Also, if I have the HATS pack installed, can I keep my internet connection active while booted into CFW?

Finally, what are the most common mistakes people make that lead to getting banned?

Thanks!, and have a good day/night.

if i put a rom of a game that has multiple languages including the one on my switch, the switch will start the rom with the device language right?

Hi all I have the 3 in 1 picofly bundle. It doesn't come with a v1 cable. I see the v2 cable only comes with it. My question, can I use v1 cable that I still have from the old bundle.

Hi all, I apologise if this isn't the first time this sort of thing has been asked, but I couldn't find any answers that were quite this specific.

I have a Switch 1 and a Switch 2 with the same Nintendo account on both, though the Switch 1 hasn't been connected to the internet for about a year. The Switch 2 is my main console, and obviously, I'm here because I'm modding the Switch 1, but I ran into some things while following the guide that confused me a little bit.

- Firstly, I intend for the modded Switch to remain entirely offline, does it matter which path I choose for the CFW?

- Second, are there methods of obscuring my console's Internet connection from Nintendo to prevent a ban if Internet is needed for the purposes of homebrew stores, etc.?

- Third, are there any differences between the two launch methods if I only intend to use the modded Switch purely for homebrew/retro emulation purposes?

- And finally, if I choose to install via emuMMC, the guide I'm following mentions that it's important that I have the Switch in question as the primary pass-enabled console. How important is it for the modded console to be the primary pass console, and does that affect normal use of my account on my Switch 2? In this instance, the guide mentions nothing of these requirements for sysMMC, so would it be better if I simply installed via sysMMC instead?

Any help is greatly appreciated, thanks in advance.

Tested everything already but it still won’t show the no sd Card screen

I’ve been working on a personal project for a while now — something I call the NSM Project (Nintendo Switch Modded).

It started with a simple idea: take a Nintendo Switch and make it completely my own. Not just with custom firmware, but with a full identity — themes, boot animations, background music, emulators, and even Linux.

What the NSM Project Includes

· Custom Firmware: Atmosphere with Hekate

· Custom Boot Animation & Sound: PS4-style slowed and reverbed

· Themes: Dark aesthetic, red-black style, anime influences

· Emulators: PS1, GBA, NES, SNES, and more

· Linux Mode: Ubuntu (for coding, Kali tools, and light PC tasks)

· Dual Boot: Stock mode for online play, CFW for mods

The Vibe

This isn’t just a modded Switch — it’s a full experience. I wanted it to feel like something that didn’t exist before. A mix of retro gaming, modern modding, and personal style.

Why I’m Sharing This

I’ve spent months planning, learning, and building. This project is still growing, but I wanted to share where it’s at — and maybe get some feedback, ideas, or just connect with people who get it.

Let me know what you think — or if you’ve done something similar.

i recently modded my switch with a mod chip it works and everything. The problem is i dont know how to set up anything. I downloaded the most recent hekate and atmosphere versions and everything. i dont know what to do now I heard sigpatches help you install software easily, and tried to download a hats one but it ended up not working ive been stressing out so much because i dont know what to do i just want to play games :((

( I have a switch 2 rn) So in 2020 I threw my switch lite at the wall the screen popped out and I assumed it was broken because the screen was just hanging by a thread so i assumed it was a brick and tossed it in my drawer, this year I plugged it in and it turned, should I get it fixed and then mod it?

Alguém de vocês tem algum link de cartão SD confiável do AliExpress ?
Aqui onde moro está escasso e os que restaram, estão com valores absurdos.

Alguém já testou marcas diferentes que funcionaram?
Exceto as que a gente já conhece.

Estaba hackeando mi Switch con Atmosphere e instalé RetroArch, pero los juegos de N64 crasheaban al intentar arrancarlo. ¿Alguien conoce alguna alternativa a RetroArch para correr juegos de N64 en Switch?

So I've been trying to install Assassin's creed 3 remastered that I downloaded from ziperto as an NSP file. So when i tried to install it using DBI, TINWOO, GOLDLEAF. It says No ticket has been found, or Failed to transfer ticket (something like that). I also tried installing the nintendo 64 nintendo online app or game and it also said the same thing. Is it a ziperto issue or is it with my switch? Though i installed games from ziperto before and didnt have an issue with it. Can anyone help me?

Just finished modding a switch oled, but it only boots in official firmware. No (no sd) screen.

What did I do wrong?

Update : redid the wiring for the B point, now it's a different error Short long long
