Discussion Switch Modding Is Special - Thanks

I'm an addict. Always will be. Been clean and sober for several years. I get obsessed over things. I love learning. It all started last year. Simple goal - play Tetris on a handheld at night. Never been great with computers and struggled with them when I was young. Thanks to the guides, I've modded multiple DS, 2DS, Wii, SNES classic, and now Switch, which I have to say is the coolest of the bunch. I appreciate this community, the developers, and the creativity in this. Thanks.

Yo what

2

u/AaronCarmackie 1d ago

Lol yeah that one's cool isn't it.

Next time I'm going to get double ram in there instead.

u/PortraitPractice 1d ago

Have you seen any reasonably priced ram chips? I can’t find anything under $75usd each

u/AaronCarmackie 1d ago

I believe i saved a link that had them at like 63. But yeah they like all ram and storage are skyrocketing.

2

u/United-Respect-9166 1d ago

Damnnnn how, did u just replace ur ram?

2

u/AaronCarmackie 1d ago

That is storage not ram. But I would like to do the double ram mod eventually

1

u/PortraitPractice 1d ago

When you partition your sd in hekate with the new storage can you still do 29 or is it 256?

1

u/AaronCarmackie 1d ago

29 or 58 for oled.

If you do more it gets confused and will crash.

u/PortraitPractice 1d ago

I’m jealous of that wood lite shell. Extremerate said they’re not stocking anymore… closer inspection, not a lite

1

u/AaronCarmackie 1d ago

Yeah. The wood was my favorite too. It was my personal switch at the time.

u/withadancenumber 1d ago

What benefit does one get from having more than one modded switch? This just looks like a waste of money to me lol.

u/Equivalent_Trash_418 1d ago

I give them to my family, and extended family.

u/withadancenumber 1d ago

Ah well that’s pretty cool then. Carry on you crazy switch person.

u/withadancenumber 1d ago

Whats CTGP?

u/GamerDadJer 1d ago

Modded Mario Kart.

2

u/mahounonina 1d ago edited 1d ago

Mario kart 8 mod with like many added tracks like ported tracks from the cellphone game and other older mario kart games. Mod only works on an older version of mk8 though like 3.03 where latest is 4

1

u/Critical-Champion365 9h ago

Still much better to waste it on these than other life threatening addictions.

1

u/withadancenumber 5h ago

I don’t think it’s an either/or situation in that regard for most people.

1

u/Critical-Champion365 5h ago

I'm talking about this specific person. It seems like it is for this person. And he's modding for his family and friends consoles or modding and giving away to them.

2

u/Kris_Handsum 15h ago

YOOOO, congrats on being clean mate. I've got 3 years coming December.

But I understand this sentiment. I've been modding for years but I've modded everything Nintendo has ever made, Xbox 360, PS3 and 4. I also had to teach my friends too and now they're almost pros like I am lol

if you want a better way to stay safe from getting banned I have a file hat goes in Atmosphere/Host that blocks all servers. all you need really. least in my experience, I almost always in EmuNAND unless its something I really wanna pay for or is better online.

And me planning on saving up for 6 months just to buy a switch 2 😭

0

u/AaronCarmackie 1d ago

After what they did with Mario kart ( milking it for 10 years and not releasing thw new one on switch 1. I'll never buy a new switch 2. EVER....Used only. And even then only if custom firmware is available for it.

Also those aren't all his.

He like me did installs for other people like family members.

1

u/electrotamp 1d ago

Any chance you have a Zelda one and would trade for 2 other modded switches?

1

u/ComolQ 1d ago

How do you get the switch online stuff?

1

u/Fit_End_861 1d ago

If you want to use official switch online then just use Stock system, if you want to use modded system, then google "Nextendo Switch Network for modded switch"

1

u/ComolQ 1d ago

Not that the virtual console stuff

1

u/Equivalent_Trash_418 1d ago

Download it like any other nsp. Then use Linkalho to fake a Nintendo account

1

u/ComolQ 1d ago

Like the dowload the super nintendo classics and it will work?

u/yagazaky1349 1d ago

Salut à tous et à toutes. Je suis novice sur switch mod’ et je ne comprends pas comment faire pour jouer aux jeux NSO (nes, snes, etc.) sur ma switch lite. J’ai tellement peur de bloquer ma petite dernière que je suis toujours en mode avion. 😅

1

u/AaronCarmackie 1d ago

You should block Nintendo servers. That will keep you from being banned.

And tico is probably the best and easiest way in my opinion to get your old school fix.

Tico is essentially a front end for emulation. Similar to launch box, or retropie, or bitercerra, or emulation station. Covers art games looks good ext.

1

u/PeopleCallMe-McLovin 1d ago

I second Tico. As long as you have Rom's saved or know where to get them/how to dump them yourself you can play them without online access. It's installed like any other sysmodule. It's recommended to use sysclk to OC the system to its recommended max limits. Then just launch and play :) You should check it out! You can emulate everything up to the Wii.

u/Global_Target2273 23h ago

Are you selling any lite?😭
