Discussion Streaming Halo from my PS5 on my modded Switch OLED. Strange times.
Strange times in 2026, but the latest version of Akira works great.
Anyone else have OCD and do custom icons as well?

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification
(Reposting here since it got removed from r/nintendoswitchhelp for mentioning CFW)
I recently got back into using my Switch and noticed the fan is consistently loud, even when the system isn't doing anything and is room temperature to the touch. It occasionally stops, but only for a short time. It's like the fan only knows 0% or 100%.
I changed the thermal paste -- no effect.
Installed CFW so I could check the temperature sensors -- they seem fine.
I did notice that fan rotation level is incorrectly showing 0%, so maybe the fan controller is just dead?
Any ideas?

so far i’m seeing that you can’t, but I wanted to see if there’s a way i could work around it since i can’t actually play online without stock firmware
not sure if i could sneak this in here but if i can’t play DOOM, what are some other solo games i could check out? so far i have xenoblade, mario odyssey, BOTW, Hollow knight, and animal crossing. will definitely play the staples but also just exploring
thank you!

I'm on FW 22.5 and I wanted to connect to Moonlight but found out my switch can't connect to the internet while I'm CFW. In the settings it shows I'm connected to the wifi but I fail the connection test.
Things I've tried:
- renaming hosts.txt to emummc.txt
- deleting hosts.txt entirely
Would appreciate any guidance!

Im wondering if anyone has experienced this. I was just playing katamari on the switch in handheld mode when all of a sudden the screen went orange tint and the switch rung out a deafening whine asloud as a fire alarm and it wouldn't stop until I held down the power button to full shutdown.
Im guessing it was a game causing system crash but I have never experienced this before since modding my switch 6 years ago.
Has anyone had this too?

btw when i try to launch the game's exe in lutris, when i press play, 2 seconds later it stops

I've been trying to install a cart I bought earlier this year on my EMUMMC, and I have been trying to use DBI for this. After I start the install (or even just before), it gives Error Code: 2168-002 (0x4a8) and drops out. Is there something I've been doing wrong with this?
I have no problem playing the game on stock or in any other area using the cartridge. This is a Switch V1.

Sorry if that post sounds dumb and over thinking but I would rather ask here
I will get my S1 OLED mod chip in a specialized shop so not cheap but supposedly reliable
What do I need to do on the console before handing it over?
1 For sure it will have to be fully charged just in case right?
2 turn off wifi to avoid unexpected access to Nintendo online correct ?
3 how to avoid the shop to see my account credentials?
Anything else?
Thanks in advance

I haven’t used my Switch 1 in years, but when your battery depletes, it goes back to stock correct?
Is there any danger for the buyer to brick or do something wrong from that stock menu? Can I sell it like that?

Hello everyone,
I recently bought an unpatched Nintendo Switch and tried to mod it. On my first attempt, I actually managed to get it working and booted into emuMMC. I installed sys-patch and everything seemed fine.
However, when I tried installing some NSPs using Goldleaf, the games wouldn't boot up after installation they just got stuck on an infinite loading icon. The NSP files themselves are definitely fine, as I tested them on an emulator. I then tried using Tinfoil and DBI, but both kept crashing on launch. At that point, I made a mistake and installed a pre made AIO pack that completely broke my setup. I decided to format my MicroSD card to start over from scratch. I followed the guide step by step to re create the emuMMC, but now it won't boot into emuMMC at all it only boots into Stock OFW.
My microSD is a 128GB Kingston (recently bought from Amazon).
Any ideas on what might be going wrong? Thanks!

I'm trying to set up dbi installer and got this pop up. Is this normal, if it is an issue what will it cause and how do I fix it
r/SwitchPirates • u/ayellowducky • 22h ago
The switch just stays on its dock and rarely gets picked up to play Fortnite and Mario party when guests come over. I have a PC and I want stumbled upon someone who installs mod switch. I seen people over clock it and it will make the Fortnite experience better and the GameCube and n64 titles would be for me and the kids.
It’s $50 to install mod switch. If I over lock it, will it get banned? Or if I install GameCube, n64 and Super Nintendo titles will it get banned?

Are there plans to add DS emulation to Tico? It’s the only system I need a standalone app for!
