I might show how to inject on other platforms in the future, but for now that’s it. (3) The only injection process on the guide at the moment is TegraRCM using a PC. (1) You need an app to enter Title Takeover, which allows homebrew to run with full system resources. This guide doesn’t go over setting up an emuMMC, but keep it in mind if you change your mind.

32 gigabytes is required for an emuMMC partition.

If one file’s slightly bigger, you’ll have to remove the SD to copy the last file (which is a hassle)

32 gigabytes of space is needed to backup your system files.

Or, have a Lightning to OTG adapter, a jailbroken iOS device and a USB C cable for data transfer.

The following information is taken from this GBATemp thread Serial Numbersīefore you start modding, you should check 4 things off your list: You’re better off selling your current Switch then buying an Unpatched unit.

You can technically, with a mod chip, but those would be illegal to use since modifying the hardware is against Nintendo’s TOS, but also they’re hard to find since the company that was making them (Team Xecuter) got shut down. And before you ask, you can’t mod a Patched switch. NVIDIA has publicly responded to the RCM exploit.

This one exploit allows people to develop payloads for the switch, which can then be injected. These chips, when they’re in Recovery Mode (RCM), are able to execute unverified code. The difference from the two, is that the original Switch (v1) was made with a Tegra x1 chip. Any switch made after that is what’s called a Patched / v2 switch. Unpatched / v1 switches are any switches that were made before early June of 2018. With the serial number, you can check if your switch is patched or not.

This guide mostly follows that, except simplifying things by a LOT, and removing the optional emuNAND Route.
