Very exciting! If you don't want to be banned from Nintendo make sure to search how to avoid bans on RUclips or Google. It's possible to avoid bans, but not worth the effort if you don't play online 👍👍
@@sayianprincevegeta7969 aw hell yeah man all my stuff comes in april 4th i didnt even know I had a unpatched switch till i checked a few hours ago. Would you say Id need to sign up for a vpn when using the free store, or does it have any software like that already built in? Sorry new to the video game modding scene i just saw your ps vita showcase yesterday!
I love that you opened Pokemon Colosseum for the Gamecube section of the video. This is my favorite game and finding information on how to emulate it most efficiently (especially on something like a switch) is REALLY appreciated. I'm really impressed that it doesn't run like frozen diarrhea like it usually does when emulating. I'll have to give this a shot once I get my new switch (don't want to risk getting banned before Pokemon S/V drops) Based game taste in general btw. I can tell you're one of the cool kids.
Btw, 14:22 is where the Pre Gym keeps their trainers prisoner until they're ready to be summoned upon to battle you. They survive off the fresh water in the pond and by eating cooked Magikarp. Nbd.
Appreciate you checking out the video! Yeah, at this point I've actually completed the game and am onto XD Gale of Darkness 😁 It ran well with little to no issues. But some mild overclocking may be required. Dolphin emulators mmj, mmjr, mmjr2 etc have made quite a bit of progress! So I imagine you won't have any issues getting it going 💪
I just finished modding my new OLED switch with the HWFLY v4.1. The soldering was no joke and I have a fair amount of electronics repair experience. I'm just starting to figure out the software aspect of it.
@@sayianprincevegeta7969 The hardest part I thought was mounting the Dat0 point underneath the nand but there’s some good tutorials by sthetix that really helped me out.
i dont know if you’ll see this but you’re the best goddamn online bro ive seen! Just wanna say thank you to you prince vegita, chloe carr, rentry website, github, the switch community in general, and my switch lite sx lite modded chip seller for all the help! lol
I've homebrewed nearly every console I've ever owned but I haven't grabbed a pre-patched Switch, still holding out hope that the OLED will be moddable without soldering at some point. This video just made it a little harder to resist just doing it already lmao
I feel that haha! I know there's a few fb pages that have people who'd mod your OLED for a price, but I recommend getting a V1 unpatched switch and modding that one instead. That way you won't risk getting your oled banned by Nintendo.
@@sayianprincevegeta7969 Facebook is so full of shit, I saw some dick head selling modded OLED Switchs for $700, I asked him why it was $700? He said because it was modded. Then a cunt ass moderator from the group banned me because I asked that question, he said I was there to troll and the price are correct. There was no damn way a modded Switch can cost $700, that's robbing people and the moderators on Facebook are defending these shady ass cunts.
Always wondered why it's called "freeshop"🏴☠️🎮😜👾 great vid! I'm already well over 1000 dollars deep in digital and physical games on my 1st switch so I definitely don't feel bad running RetroArch on my older one as it's basically repurposed it for me🎃👾
Homebrew def gave my 3ds and my dsi a whole new life. I stopped playing both for so long but once I put homebrew on them amazing I play them daily again. I'll probably mod my switch closer to the end of it's life. Rn I'm not too worried about it I play it a lot already and between that and my DS systems I'm pretty content rn buuuut someday hahaha thanks for the video! This is awesome
@@w.stevenjf5910 the 3ds is such an awesome system I feel like they could have kept selling it lol make it better and better. I'd buy one for each of my kids before if buy them each a switch 😅 my switch feels delicate compared to my DS family. I hand my OG DS to my kid like it's a brick 🤣
I have a Day 1 switch as well and have been setting my consoles serial to a bunch of zeros using the Exosphere file. I have not been banned using this method only on my emunand partition. Not only that but I have emunand triple booting with Ubuntu Linux and Android TV on a single 512GB SD Card and it works really well!

I remember hacking my switch with a paperclip back when it was first discovered, and no CFW was really available. This is really cool, and I wish I had kept up with it. I imagine I'll hack mine when the Switch is closer to the end of its life. Great video!
Don't let that stop you! You can use normal switch firmware online, and eummc cfw offline, and set it up with incognito and a couple other tricks to block it from connecting to Nintendo's servers. I've had it for a couple years now 0 issues. Keep in mind though, if you do eummc, you 100% absolutely do not under any circumstances want to screw up and connect to Nintendo's servers on the eummc. The mismatch of system logs WILL get you banned. From my understanding it's one of the most common ways it happens. Along with nonofficial or illegal apps.
Just gotta make sure your mods are for the version you're playing, as well as merging the mods that need to be merged. It's a trial and error, but once it clicks it's so cool!
I'll have to update this video soon. There have been a lot of advances with DS and 3DS emulation on the modded switch so I don't really use the android partition anymore. Unless you're needing android for something specific I'd just skip that. Definitely look into the shops and all that can be done on a modded switch. There's a lot of cool stuff
Some games like Pokemon/Zelda only allow for 1 save file. If you back up your saves you can access any of them at any time. Also, if you mod your saves you can always have backups of clean saves just in case.
Nice! One question though - is there a lot of labour intensive work/maintenance that needs to be done once you have modded it? Do you encounter any problems since modding it that then need any complex fixes? Im tempted to mod mine but I dont want it to be a chore to maintain. Thanks!
No, it's not really given me any trouble. That's likely because this particular console is banned by Nintendo. So I don't have to go through all the hassle of spoofing dns settings, running an emuNAND, or any of that mess. Just go into it with the knowledge that you'll likely be banned by Nintendo, and no longer have access to anything from them through official channels. None of this mattered to me on this console, and I've had 0 regrets about modding it so far. I honestly don't even remember the last time I played my non-modded OLED. But I play this one every day
@@sayianprincevegeta7969 thanks, thats really useful to know, i only ever play single player games anyway so maybe this is the approach to take, in fact it would almost be a relief if i got banned if it helped to simplify my user experience

CAN SOMEONE HELP PLEASE? I cannot get online on any games. I tried on pokemon legends arceus and mario kart 8...whenever i try to go online it says "Server Communication error 2124-4618". i downloaded and installed all my games and updates from tinfoil. It works perfectly and i can access nintendo servers/eshops and my internet works perfectly (as i downloaded games from tinfoil) but i cannot go online it gives that error every time. Any advice??? I really want online on my jailbroken switch.
Are you using an emuNAND? From everything I've read about that error code you've been marked for a ban by Nintendo and its only a matter of time. Hope that's not it, and you'll update us here as you know more
Are you sure that you're trying to launch the game and not some dlc or add on content? I think I've only seen that message when trying to launch dlc for a game I didn't have
I just got a 1st model switch and was wondering what guide to follow to have my switch have the same things u have such as tinfoil etc. what guide did u use or what guide do u recommend also love the video!
Thanks for checking out the video! You can't go wrong following this nh-server.github.io/switch-guide/ I also recommend checking out the RUclips channel "Better Backup" for quick and informative video guides
Hi, I was wondering about the 3ds games on your switch home menu. Did you download them off the free shop and they just worked? Like I’ve been trying to find 3ds cores for retroarch and have had no luck. If it’s this easy pleas let me know, thank you for reading this.
You'll have to join M4XW's discord for the best version of the 3ds core 😁👍🏽 Then I just used a forwarder to route directly to the game from my home menu
I got a few questions about modding my switch... so im planning on using my second switch (my original from 2017 since i now have an OLED as my main) and i was wondering, what does a ban do? I dont really care if my hacked switch is banned from online or eShop since i have my main switch for online. But could my hacked switch getting banned affect my main switch, like if they're on the same WiFi network? And also, i've wanted to do something like do some Local MK8DX races and Splatoon 3 matches (not online, Local/Lan) and do hacking in them, stuff like spamming items in Mario Kart and broken weapons on Splatoon 3, that stuff that would ban online, could this ban my main switch by joining the hacked switch's lobby and hacking with that hacked switch on the local/lan lobby?
Oh and another thing but what's the best method to run Dolphin on switch? Best performance and JoyCon compability. And N64 Too, specifically a hard game to run like Perfect Dark or Conker's bad fur day.
A ban is console specific, so it won't affect your account on another console. You can Lan no problem. A ban just stops you from using nintendo services on that console (no eshop, online play, etc..)
I saw that android can now be run on the OLED models, but haven't actually tried it myself. If you got stuck, just wipe and start over. It's a pain, but that should sort it out
i been thinking of moding my switch and i only play offline never will i play online. just curious if this is gonna effect future games ill get for the switch itself i been been wanting to try this but not sure how much its gonna cost to get everything needed. (also nice video) and first time moding any console also can you try star wars battlefront 2 on the switch for ps2 ?
Cost- wise it's not bad at all. Considering you already have a PC of course, you'll only have to buy a micro SD card, RCM jig and have a USB to type C cord. It shouldn't really have any negative effect on future games because you'll always be able to update firmware, games, dlc, etc.. even if it's through unofficial channels. I'll check out battlefront, but isn't that on gamepass as well?
@@sayianprincevegeta7969 idk i don't keep up with gamepass stuff. but unfortunately i won't be Able to mod my switch cus i have a patched one unfortunately i think... but thank you anyways and I'll keep un eye out for the stuff still incase. and bet.. i didn't wanna get any games in case it be a waste
How did you add retroarch to the main menu? Same with the 3ds game. I wanna be able to just boot from the home menu into certain older emulated games or homebrew apps
I had to use an NSP forwarder. Essentially you use the program to make your own NSP. It will require you to have a PC, the NSP Forwarder program, a game/rom, as well as an emulator to run said rom. Once you have those things you can make your own NSP and simply install it to your modded switch. This guide goes into the process, but keep in mind it may not work for you depending on your firmware and it's compatibility. www.reddit.com/r/SwitchPirates/comments/o8fu1s/new_nsp_forwarder_compatible_with_fw12x_for_those/?
@@bandsonme Depends on what you're looking to play. I have an AYN Odin Pro (video on the channel) and a modded switch, and I play both of them regularly. I use my Odin for emulation and the Switch for modding/playing switch games.
When you get banned by Nintendo, are they banning the console or your entire account/both? Is it recommended to remove your account before you do this or if you have a second unmodded switch your account will still be ok? Also how does this all perform docked, if at all, this looks like a crazy fun project.
So the way that the bans have always worked (thus far) is it's a console only ban. Your account is safe, and can be used on a different switch no problem. The docked mode works same as normal as well. I play a lot of emulated games in handheld and docked. I'd recommend setting up the precautions to prevent a ban, but it's not the end of the world if it inevitably does happen. I use my banned/modded switch WAY more than my non modded/OLED switch. Hope that helps
you can set up an emunand which is a copy of your switch os where you can install homebrew programs,emulators,pirated games and stuff while if you wanna play online and use nintendo's online services just boot into the regular one there are guides
I had to partition my sd card where the android part was separate. Since it's a completely separate partition you won't be able to access any other files on the other partition
hey man just wondering, when your banned from online play, is it as simple as making a brand new nintendo account linked to a different email and your good to go?
Sadly, no. The console itself is what receives the ban not your account. If you have another switch, you can log into your account as normal on that one
Wait, so this is the og version? Not the OLED? The joycons threw me off lol Hmm, I’d like to mod the OLED, but idk if it would be worth the hassle, from the $100 modchip to the soldering stuff & so on…
Correct, this is a V1 switch. Personally I'd leave your OLED as it is, and just buy a used V1 to mod and tinker around with. The chips are pricey for the oleds and it's sketchy to solder them or have them done for yoy
the tinfoil dont work for me anymore, i believe most the shops are closed now, guess looking for sites that have the games to download and install with awoo is the more reliable thing we can do now Also, how do you get to show the emulators and games from the 3ds on your homescreen? wtf, you said "forwarder" what is that and how you do that
Tinfoil still works fine, but most free shops are down. I use Titz Pro for my shop and it's still up and going strong. But it requires a one time donation for lifetime access. Yeah, you can add games and programs to your homescreen by using a forwarder. Basically you have a forwarder program on your PC that can make the app. Then just install it on your switch and you're good to go
mega video...i have only 1 question...i buy an new one...when hack...but wen broken..can all reset for repair by amazon/nintendo??sorry my bad english ..
If you modded it yourself you can always reset it back to factory. No need to send it in to nintendo or anywhere. It's only soft mods unless it's a modded OLED
I got you ruclips.net/video/61nJOVHnymY/видео.html I don't actually think android on Switch is really worth it these days, but it's cool to have. I don't recommend allocating too much of your SD card's space to it though
Hi, props for the video, nicely done! Do you have a Discord where I could hit you up for some suggestion? I hacked my day1 Switch a couple of years ago but at the moment I'm having an hard time figuring out how to update it and install newer versions of CFW
That's not exactly true. I've known a few people who've done this and been banned. The best way is to run everything on emuNAND offline and incognito with custom DNS settings. Anything short of that will always carry a ban risk
Is there a function to load in the Original system of the switch?? And can i play my Downloaded Games in the original system? And can i play the games online with friend? Please answer me hermano
Nevermind sry... but can u still play online with Friends? And can i play games online that i Downloaded from the Internet ? Sorry for all the questions
@Chilli-Eichel That depends. Are you downloading smash ultimate on your sysNAND or your emuNAND? If you have it on your emuNAND and it's something that you got through piracy, then no. If you bought the game and it's on your clean sysNAND, then yes.
It doesn't matter if it goes to sleep. You only have to re-inject the payload if it dies. You also don't lose anything, out just switches to OFW instead of CFW. Once you inject CFW again you just pick up where you left off
Which part? Modding a V1 Switch, partitioning and adding android, adding a hb shop, creating an nsp using a forwarder program, installing a custom theme, installing tesla, adding overlays to tesla, updating cfw, etc....? That'd be a long video 😅
@@missreid86 Of course, glad to help! Keep in mind that even though Tinfoil is working, most of the old "freeshops" are down. There are new ones though
@@sayianprincevegeta7969 should i look into that, or just download NSPs? (Or whatever the file was called, i forgot the name lol) i did see a site that has them...
I sold my vita for a switch, specifically to jailbreak it and turn it back into a vita LMFAOOO but lowkey i dont even meed to do that cus the switch itself is much better for emulation
I go back and forth fr 😅 I use the vita for Vita/PSP, and the Switch for basically everything else. The Odin Pro is also really good for any kind of DS, PS2, and Gamecube emulation. Too many good handhelds!
Think it just depends on the game, the version of retroarch and the retroarch core used. I believe this was Pokémon Diamond (DS) using retroarch melonds core 1 8.9

Would you be able to to trade? On the ds Pokémon games? And for the switch games could do local co op? If my friends have it?
I've never seen trade capability for the DS games. Not saying it doesn't exist, but I haven't seen it.
Hi, I was wondering about the 3ds games on your switch home menu. Did you download them off the free shop and they just worked? Like I’ve been trying to find 3ds cores for retroarch and have had no luck. If it’s this easy pleas let me know, thank you for reading this.
You'll have to join M4XW's discord for the best version of the 3ds core 😁👍🏽
Then I just used a forwarder to route directly to the game from my home menu
I have a modded switch v1. 512GB with tripleboot: Android, stock OS, hacked OS. And another SD card with Linux in case I need it
Sounds like my V1, too. 😅
I got to where I never really used Android much on it though
Can you show how to install and use cheats to play on the switch?
I don't have any cheats running currently, but I bet I could figure it out. If I get that going I'll try and make a video on it 😁👍
I got a few questions about modding my switch... so im planning on using my second switch (my original from 2017 since i now have an OLED as my main) and i was wondering, what does a ban do? I dont really care if my hacked switch is banned from online or eShop since i have my main switch for online.
But could my hacked switch getting banned affect my main switch, like if they're on the same WiFi network?
And also, i've wanted to do something like do some Local MK8DX races and Splatoon 3 matches (not online, Local/Lan) and do hacking in them, stuff like spamming items in Mario Kart and broken weapons on Splatoon 3, that stuff that would ban online, could this ban my main switch by joining the hacked switch's lobby and hacking with that hacked switch on the local/lan lobby?
Oh and another thing but what's the best method to run Dolphin on switch? Best performance and JoyCon compability. And N64 Too, specifically a hard game to run like Perfect Dark or Conker's bad fur day.
A ban is console specific, so it won't affect your account on another console. You can Lan no problem. A ban just stops you from using nintendo services on that console (no eshop, online play, etc..)
Wow how you got twilight princess to run smooth
I just have it overclocked, and am running dolphin mmjr2 on the android partition 👍
@@sayianprincevegeta7969 hmmm overclocking on handheld sounds scarry tho
@@solarliquid_gaming5941 Yeah I don't recommend. But for me personally, I haven't had any issues
i just tried to run android 11 on my switch oled but forgot to back up all my files on the sd, now im stuck :(
I saw that android can now be run on the OLED models, but haven't actually tried it myself.
If you got stuck, just wipe and start over. It's a pain, but that should sort it out
i been thinking of moding my switch and i only play offline never will i play online. just curious if this is gonna effect future games ill get for the switch itself i been been wanting to try this but not sure how much its gonna cost to get everything needed. (also nice video) and first time moding any console also can you try star wars battlefront 2 on the switch for ps2 ?
Cost- wise it's not bad at all. Considering you already have a PC of course, you'll only have to buy a micro SD card, RCM jig and have a USB to type C cord.
It shouldn't really have any negative effect on future games because you'll always be able to update firmware, games, dlc, etc.. even if it's through unofficial channels. I'll check out battlefront, but isn't that on gamepass as well?
@@sayianprincevegeta7969 idk i don't keep up with gamepass stuff. but unfortunately i won't be Able to mod my switch cus i have a patched one unfortunately i think... but thank you anyways and I'll keep un eye out for the stuff still incase.
and bet.. i didn't wanna get any games in case it be a waste
Bf2 ps2 doesn't run well on the switch.
Great explanation…how to enable mouse or worked dpad on hekate mode?tia
I never had to enable anything, it just worked from the get go. May be that you're using some joycons that aren't recognized?
How did you add retroarch to the main menu? Same with the 3ds game. I wanna be able to just boot from the home menu into certain older emulated games or homebrew apps
I had to use an NSP forwarder. Essentially you use the program to make your own NSP. It will require you to have a PC, the NSP Forwarder program, a game/rom, as well as an emulator to run said rom. Once you have those things you can make your own NSP and simply install it to your modded switch.
This guide goes into the process, but keep in mind it may not work for you depending on your firmware and it's compatibility.

@@sayianprincevegeta7969 thank you so much
@@sebastianfall1932 glad to help
Well this is awesome
I know right?! The switch is an awesome console. Especially once it's modded 😅
@@sayianprincevegeta7969 would you buy a modded switch or something newer like an aya neo next?🤔
@@bandsonme Depends on what you're looking to play. I have an AYN Odin Pro (video on the channel) and a modded switch, and I play both of them regularly.
I use my Odin for emulation and the Switch for modding/playing switch games.
@@sayianprincevegeta7969 I'm familiar with the Odin. Why not just play the emulators on the modded switch? Odin perform better?
@@bandsonme Yeah the Odin plays PS2/Gamecube/DS much much better. Even with using Android on my Switch the performance is pretty drastic.
Just wondering what size SD card you use? Seems like you have a lot of games so it would be great to know what size you use
I think this one was a 256gb card. I'd recommend more though tbh
@@sayianprincevegeta7969 Thank you I'm gonna try get a 500gb card
WOW U REPLAY TO EVERYONE EVEN MONTHS LATER THAT DERSERVERS A SUBSCRIBE
I try! 😁
When you get banned by Nintendo, are they banning the console or your entire account/both? Is it recommended to remove your account before you do this or if you have a second unmodded switch your account will still be ok? Also how does this all perform docked, if at all, this looks like a crazy fun project.
So the way that the bans have always worked (thus far) is it's a console only ban. Your account is safe, and can be used on a different switch no problem.
The docked mode works same as normal as well. I play a lot of emulated games in handheld and docked.
I'd recommend setting up the precautions to prevent a ban, but it's not the end of the world if it inevitably does happen. I use my banned/modded switch WAY more than my non modded/OLED switch.
Hope that helps
you can set up an emunand which is a copy of your switch os where you can install homebrew programs,emulators,pirated games and stuff while if you wanna play online and use nintendo's online services just boot into the regular one there are guides
One more thing do you know why when i try to install the file for andriod when u click selcet storge the files are just not there
I had to partition my sd card where the android part was separate. Since it's a completely separate partition you won't be able to access any other files on the other partition
Is this a custom theme you made on the switch or can it be downloaded from somewhere
It's a mix-match of available themes from NX themes
hey man just wondering, when your banned from online play, is it as simple as making a brand new nintendo account linked to a different email and your good to go?
Sadly, no. The console itself is what receives the ban not your account. If you have another switch, you can log into your account as normal on that one
I just want to know if I can watch movies from an SD card and play old psp games?
Man, I'm sure! It can run android and android does both of those things 😁
Wait, so this is the og version? Not the OLED? The joycons threw me off lol
Hmm, I’d like to mod the OLED, but idk if it would be worth the hassle, from the $100 modchip to the soldering stuff & so on…
Correct, this is a V1 switch. Personally I'd leave your OLED as it is, and just buy a used V1 to mod and tinker around with. The chips are pricey for the oleds and it's sketchy to solder them or have them done for yoy
the tinfoil dont work for me anymore, i believe most the shops are closed now, guess looking for sites that have the games to download and install with awoo is the more reliable thing we can do now
Also, how do you get to show the emulators and games from the 3ds on your homescreen? wtf, you said "forwarder" what is that and how you do that
Tinfoil still works fine, but most free shops are down. I use Titz Pro for my shop and it's still up and going strong. But it requires a one time donation for lifetime access.
Yeah, you can add games and programs to your homescreen by using a forwarder. Basically you have a forwarder program on your PC that can make the app. Then just install it on your switch and you're good to go
mega video...i have only 1 question...i buy an new one...when hack...but wen broken..can all reset for repair by amazon/nintendo??sorry my bad english ..
If you modded it yourself you can always reset it back to factory. No need to send it in to nintendo or anywhere. It's only soft mods unless it's a modded OLED
DBZ theme!! I love it so much!!
Thank you! It's still my favorite theme

I don't actually think android on Switch is really worth it these days, but it's cool to have. I don't recommend allocating too much of your SD card's space to it though
Hi, props for the video, nicely done!
Do you have a Discord where I could hit you up for some suggestion? I hacked my day1 Switch a couple of years ago but at the moment I'm having an hard time figuring out how to update it and install newer versions of CFW
Ah yeah I remember when I first went through this as well! This discord is the answer for everything you need

What problem are you having? Ive just finally homebrewed my switch and its working great.
what are your retroarch 3ds settings?
Email me and I'll send them to ya 👍
Question: why you always manually quit games when you exit?
Old habits, I guess 😅
Probably gonna mod my system when Nintendo release a new console
my switch when i restart it it about boot into CFW how do i just get it to boot into the loader menu?
If it's booting into CFW instead of Hekate then you likely have auto boot enabled.
@@sayianprincevegeta7969 yea how do i change this? Is there a button i have to hold ?
@@cary4867 if yours a switchlite or OLED with a modchip?
Im on 1st gen switch. Didnt mod my oled yet.
@@cary4867 I've not messed with auto boot at all, but have you tried powering it down completely, then RCM and reinjecting?
Does it dick and display appropriately on the TV? I could web browse use steaming apps & what not?
Yeah, everything displays properly on the TV. I'd assume so but I haven't tried any streaming apps on it
how do you get hb apps on the home screen rather than the part that you hold r to get to
You have to use a forwarder. I think I used nsp2nro
you shouldn't have downloaded everything onto the switch's memory. Do it on a Sd card and you will not be banned!
That's not exactly true. I've known a few people who've done this and been banned. The best way is to run everything on emuNAND offline and incognito with custom DNS settings. Anything short of that will always carry a ban risk
I hacked my launch Switch last night and an using my OLED joycons as well haha
That's the way to go! I also recommend looking into NYXI joycons. They're top quality and very comfortable
Is there a function to load in the Original system of the switch?? And can i play my Downloaded Games in the original system? And can i play the games online with friend? Please answer me hermano
I'm not sure what you mean when you say original system 😅
Nevermind sry... but can u still play online with Friends? And can i play games online that i Downloaded from the Internet ? Sorry for all the questions
@Chilli-Eichel Yes, you can still play online. No, you can not play online with anything that you've downloaded from the internet.
@@sayianprincevegeta7969 if i Download smash bros Ultimate i cant play that game online? Thanks for ur help
@Chilli-Eichel That depends. Are you downloading smash ultimate on your sysNAND or your emuNAND? If you have it on your emuNAND and it's something that you got through piracy, then no.
If you bought the game and it's on your clean sysNAND, then yes.
Do you have a link to share the theme it's awesome

How do avoid it falling asleep so you don’t loose everything
It doesn't matter if it goes to sleep. You only have to re-inject the payload if it dies. You also don't lose anything, out just switches to OFW instead of CFW. Once you inject CFW again you just pick up where you left off
Can you do a step by step video on how to do this?
Which part?
Modding a V1 Switch, partitioning and adding android, adding a hb shop, creating an nsp using a forwarder program, installing a custom theme, installing tesla, adding overlays to tesla, updating cfw, etc....?
