THIS is what a Jailbroken OLED Switch Looks Like

In my hands I have a rare, modded OLED switch, and I'm going to show you what you can do with an modded switch, how to tell if your switch is moddable, and how to mod your OLED switch if you can do so. I also go over all the cool things you can do with a CFW switch, like game streaming, running android on a switch, and using custom firmwares to do all types of cool stuff like game modding on switch, among other things. This video took forever, and I really hope you enjoy how it came out! Months of researching lead up to this.

I’ve always been fascinated by jailbreaking. Makes you realise how the switch is capable of so much more than nintendo gives

[xandermin]

It sucks that Nintendo are so adamant about cracking down on modding as modding breeds a lot of awesome innovative stuff. Nintendo should honestly just hire some of the people who're creating this custom software as they're clearly skilled.

IMO, once you buy a piece of hardware, that hardware belongs to you & you should be allowed to do what you want with it without the company you bought it from breathing down your neck. How is the tech world supposed to move forward if we don't let people tinker with machines? Same goes for software, giving people the tools to learn & create is a positive for everyone involved.

The plugged in ad you had at the beginning is THE GREATEST IV EVER HAD THE PLEASURE TO SEE

Just wanted to tell you Thanks for these extremely thorough videos and describing everything to a Tee! You put alot of work into this and it shows!😁

I think jailbreaking is excellent for extending the lifespan of older systems. I had a PSP which had sat in my drawer for around a decade barely being used until I jailbroke it and added emulators. Now it's my go-to handheld on the go, even over my Nintendo switch. I think companies should allow for legacy devices to be jailbroken, cause it gives them a second life when they would otherwise be forgotten in the digital age.

Jailbroken tech really shows just how much the hardware it’s operating on is capable of and lots of the stuff isn’t even that hard to implement. Yet majority of this stuff will never get done. It really sucks, Nintendo in this scenario will put more resources into stopping this kind of thing instead of implementing what they see is popular within the community.

I've done everything and more of all the things you mentioned with my Switch V1, Android included. I knew this wasn't showing me anything new. And i saw it anyways bc your way of explaining things is so great and keeps one interested at all times.

There are exceptions when playing mods online. In Smash Ultimate, there’s a mod called HDR that changes mechanics to feel like Melee which is possible to play online as long as the person you’re playing with has the mod as well. It’s safe since it does not cause any disconnections and Nintendo can’t recognize any changes and raise red flags

[stanzacosmi]

a thing to note, you can play online with mods enabled, but you have to be careful about them. Smash ultimate and mario kart require you to only use pure visual mods or play in a friend lobby with people that also use the same mods, whereas in splatoon you get banned from it for changing anything.

It baffles me that Nintendo won’t offer themes and allow for some native Home Screen customization. It’s obviously highly desired and seems like it would be so easy to let us have.

This is from 2yrs ago...these "chips" are now anyway, cheap and easy to get as well as pretty easy to solder as the things are guided on where to solder at and everything...its now a lot easier and cheaper. Oh and you can mod basically any switch with the chip as well as switch light.

Hello Jeff, I just wanna say that your editing and commentary is so freakin' good. Keep up the good work!

[nsight]

Videos is awesome. Aside from the content itself, this was well thought out and delivered seamlessly. No extra useless info. Just straight to the point explanations and thorough research. Makes me want a modded switch right away.

[KarlRock]

Thanks for the video. Really interesting.

[aidan]

Solid vid, not often I subscribe on videos like this, but so well done with no annoying filler I am keen for future interesting vids. Cheers mate!

[bolivarpanchi-arcila]

I love your editing on this video, its so smooth sailing.

[michaellopez]

Wanted to say i watched this video maybe less than a week ago and now im here with a v1 jailbroken switch with binbok split pads playing psp games.

Keep up the content, a breath of new life to a console i had really forgotten

[midosyt]

love how chill your videos are and its always great to see another person invested into the world of modding consoles

[xomgitsjay]

I like the enthusiastic and chill vibe you got going. Great video even a year later (and unfortunately I have an OLED so I cant do this lol sage)

[drypeeks]

You can still enter RCM mode using the jig, you just can't push a payload for the OLED using the stock hardware. Tegra still detects RCM mode as well when you use the jig
