hi ni/g/gas, today I found someone selling a cheap switch lite without one stick for 50 euro. I want to buy it and try to change the battery/sticks and then install a modchip. I watched an installation guide and it seems a bit hard, but "people" on reddit say that it is possible to install it without soldering skills. What do you think about it? Is it feasible?
>>106653715replacing the battery and joysticks is simple. Installing a mod chip requires micro soldering.
>>106653715Sheit...Why don't you "find someone selling" a good soldering iron? I'm sure you could "find someone selling" another Switch if you fuck it up.
>>106653785So how hard is it gonna be? I have no soldering skills
good luck ending up in prison for your bing bing wahoo you fucking retard.You realize you are asking advice for circumventing digital measures and the use of circumvention devices?
>>106654026are you a nintendo lawyer by a chance
>>106653907with no soldering skills this is literally impossible for you.
nope, it's not worth $50 for piracy.if you are buying it so that you can pay for nintendo online and play multiplayer, stick to that.the mig chip is probably better because it works on the switch 2 I think (not switch 2 games, and maybe nintendo can brick your switch), but I don't read the news about it.stick to using emulators because the 4 or so games worth playing run in 1080p on a PC.
>>106653907if you have no soldering skills you wont be replacing a stick or even know what you need to get or do to install a chip
>>106653907Don't. I know a bit about soldering and even I wussed out because the points are fucking tiny. You would need some sort of microscope or a large magnifier
Soldering is for furfags and niggers. Stop doing it.
>>106653907You'll need to practice a bit and get some decent tips for microsoldering, if you can't get a magnifier you can use your phone's camera zoom and mount the phone on some stand and use that to look at what you're doing. Honestly you're better off just paying someone to install it for you if you don't plan on doing any more soldering after that. You'll probably find someone on instagram or facebook who does modchip installation.
kill yourself you fucking furfaggot
>>106654026You're pathetic
>>106654917I'm pretty sure the way it works is you have a card with tiny cut holes that align with the contact points, and then you place the card down, scrape soldering paste over it so it fills the holes, place the component onto the paste on the chip, then melt it all with hot air.You're not supposed to manually do the soldering for each contact.
>>106655086All videos I watched did it manually. Also they didn't use the ribbon cables that came with the chip because they are often chinkshit. But it's been two years.
>>106655141I might be thinking of something else entirely. If you saw it done that way it's probably not SMD which is what I'm thinking of.
>>106655075Oh really bro?Says you, the one who is literally trying to steal children's games.A literal toy computer and you choose to try and use it to steal.I'm pathetic?Nah.
>>106655086Nah you use a tip.https://youtu.be/CVIYPTTVL6E?t=768Honestly it's not hard even for a soldering newbie but you do need the right tools.
>>106655269not anon, but all the kids games like first party zelda / mario run really well in emulators (better than the switch in some ways).you only really need a real switch if you want some niche game that doesn't work well in emulators (or multiplayer / coop, but the switch lite doesn't have detachable controllers for couch multiplayer). if you want to spend $60 on a Nintendo game, nothing wrong with that, you kind of need to pay for it if you want to play mario party online or whatever, but you can still play emulated mario party coop through something like parsec, it's pretty hard to convince your friends to spend $300+ on a console and $70 on the game.
>>106655269>Noooo, how you dare steal from a global corporation! Think of the children!Yes, you're pathetic.
>>106655468those pins are pretty far apart. you could conceivably do that by hand as a beginner if you have a good tip. soldering "chips" usually looks like picrel and is actually hard
>>106655790>if you have a good tip.Can you rec some good soldering tips?
>>106656146tips are a consumable good and basically just get the appropriately sized ones for your iron. you can also file them down trivially (just tin them VERY well if you do this, they are usually plated and will need to be cared for better if it's a raw slug of copper after hitting it with a dremel)
>>106656146the video looks like he is using a JBC t210.a chinese-JBC station (the holder that holds the iron + turns it off using physical contact without vibration) costs $100-200 total in a kit, but if it uses vibration, it can be as low as $50.If you have a 30 or 60 watt usb C power supply, and you don't mind spending $50 and a cheap folding iron holder, you could get a sequre s60 t210 or s90 t245, I suggest the s60 for t210 because the s90 can't fully power a t245 tip due to usbc even if you had a good reason to need so much heat for another project.
Unless you actually want to get into soldering and invest some money, just pay some dude. It's cheaper than buying tools you won't use.
>>106655595theft is theft. Sure it's a corporation however you're still stealing, this reflects on your character.The fact that you would go out of your way to steal something so infantile goes to show your arrested development, and absence of dignity.If you want something for free go get a FOSS game on an open source hand-held.No stealing required, your money would go to lesser known hardware manufacturers.
do you really need the chip to jailbreak it?there's no soft mod for the switch?
>>106657129Only for the ones produced early on. Afterwards they got patched and you need a modchip to bypass the security.That's why so many manchildren bought the switch2 on release but didn't buy any games and left the thing in the box without updating it while waiting for a soft mod to come out.

>>106657250sure thing bud.
>>106653715>"people" on reddit say that it is possible to install it without soldering skills.Why don't you fuck your faggot ass off back to there, and ask them instead [faggot]?
>>106654026man, sybau
>>106653907do it, lol.
