Setup your hacked Switch with the Pico 2040 mod chip (FIRMWARE 18.0.0 ONLY)

[@DevnMEleven]

Dude tysm for this! I am a complete noob at the Nintendo Switch stuff. Mine was patched so had to hard mod it and dude.. I thought this was gonna be a walk in the park... lmao. I've modded over 200+ Xbox 360s and it did not prepare me for how tiny the capacitors that needed to be soldered were on this thing. I did not have a microscope so it was pure guessing on if I had the chip connected to them or not lmao. Luckily I somehow got it first try and your videos have been an ABSOLUTE blessing! Seriously, thank you so fuckin much for your dedication man!

Ha no problem I had to get a scope mind you I found out my phones camera hooked up via Srcpy to my windows worked really well for one of my lites as well! I could have saved $150 on the scope in that case but way to late to return it.

I bought a mod chip-installed console, and the person has not configured an emuMMC; he has used the CFW to game and installed all softwares on it as well. If I wipe all data, will the hekate also go away, and I'd have to redo everything from the start?

[@DNAMobileGaming]

If the person did this all on the SD card you can use a new sd card technically and do this all over again yes. Basically what is done here is that when the partition is created on the sd card, you are basically running everything off that sd card rather than the nand chip. There's a way that can do this via the nand but I've never done it because if your nand goes on the Lite at least, the Lite model is toast from my understanding. So doing everything off the SD card is the best method and suggested by everyone.

[@adrenalog]

Excuse my ignorance and I may be answering my own question but wanted to check with you. So several years ago I did this with my switch with CFW. I remember doing most of this to set it up. Now I was going to get a switch lite with the modchip but it looks like I’m having to do all those same steps as years ago with the SD card. Am I missing what the chip is for? Is it the actual CFW now? But you still have to install all these programs, etc. Great video btw.

[@DNAMobileGaming]

The chip flashes a hack using the RasPi chip so it's permanent no jigs or anything needed. The reason you need the software setup after is because you're running your Switch off the SD card initially instead of the nand. The chip needs these files including the preload flasher because it needs to read the firmware of Hakate for example to run on the Switch.

[@adrenalog]

Thanks for the info. Will I have to continually update all the stuff on the sd card like in the past even with the chip? Trying to see what the benefits are for getting the chipped switch vs the old method. I means yes I remember the jig. That was a slight pain.

[@bojay_b]

So I actually installed the chip today (I didn't solder it correctly so I have NO clue how its working properly (I'll fix it eventually), but I've made it to the partitioning point and instead of my files being automatically backed up and restored, I have to do it manually. I'm not exactly sure what I'm looking for, so I just saved my screenshots and images, but do you think everything will still work properly if it formats the sd card with all of the mod stuffs on it? I guess I'll be the one letting you know, but any info on manually "SD UMS"ing would be fantastic. Also, thank you for these tutorials! They were amazing!!

[@DNAMobileGaming]

Hey so when you partitioned the SD card this is creating a fake Nand basically to run the firmware off the SD card rather than the Switch. So your files if you had anything saved on your SD card from your non hacked switch should still be there so as long as you have a card bigger than 64 GB because the partition takes up 30GB ish. Backing everything up is done by USB C to your PC as well, so when you watch the part about backing up your name and other files you need to connect your switch to your PC to copy this over which is approx 30gb as well alongside your keys and screenshot etc. I hope that all makes sense written out, also you're welcome.

The stock and sysnand are conflicting on each other when i download something on sysnand it goes to stock also how do i prevent them fusung or merging?

Follow the guide, I've never had this issue you must have done something wrong when you partitioned your card and created the emuMMC.

Not sure what that would be, maybe you soldered something wrong. Double check that you soldered your capacitors correctly and there isn't any bridging.

I have used the rcm method but i want to install a mod chip so i do not have to inject the bootloader everytime i restart the console. Can i just use my current SD card after the installation of the mod chip? So far i could not tell any differences between this setup and the one ive already made :)

The RCM method only works with the V1 Switch that isn't patched, this is hard modded meaning you don't need to connect it to your pc or anything it just works off the Pico chip.

Mine did not have those two payloads 👀

[@DNAMobileGaming]

What do you mean?

[@kerrybarneyiii1202]

Well, let me explain my situation a little bit: 1. My system is a V2, and updated to 18.1 (or something like that, I can’t check rn. But it’s a later version than yours) with no games, a completely fresh system/profile 2. So I downloaded the Hekate and Atmosphére files for that version. (I only downloaded the top download on each github page). After extracting both of those folders, I only had five items as opposed to your eight 3. In the vid when you grabbed the two payloads, nothing shows up on mine. So I skipped that part. Then, later in the vid when those parts would show up, nothing showed again. But I thought, based on some comments, that that was just because I had no games yet, so I ignored it. Now, everything up until actually launching seems to have worked fine, but now when I try to launch it says something about missing bootloader for hekate. So what gives? Should I just restart, wipe the sd and try again, and do something different? Thanks for tour response and help!

[@DNAMobileGaming]

@kerrybarneyiii1202 well that's why, I state in the description if you're not on 18.0.0 then use my files and update them according. I also tell you where to place the payloads after getting the latest versions. Hope that helps.
