I received my copy of TX SX Pro and a replacement battery with a tritip tool last week. The battery replacement was pretty straight forward as long as you mind which screws go where. And, when you disassemble the card reader it feels like you're breaking it at first - but once you get a feel for how it sits you're fine. The battery swap itself is pretty easy.

For anybody following from last time, the one thing I noted in my last post was the firmware was on 11.0.1. Well TX SX doesn't like that firmware and I spent at least 4-8 hours trying to figure out why I couldn't get the OS to load. I downgraded the OFW to 11.0 and it booted up just fine.

Now I'm transferring games. Mission accomplished- see the attached pic. Only future problem: if newer games require higher firmware and TX SX is never updated because of the Nintendo lawsuit against them, I'll be forced to switch (snap sound effect!) to Atmosphere.

As always, fuck Nintendo.

    I hacked my switch for a while, but I enjoy online play for games like smash so I've decided against it

      You can use an emuNAND and swap between emuNAND/sysNAND when you want to use homebrew/online.

      The only real trade off with my hacked Switches: I don't go online with them.

    Where do you even order those anymore? All of the resellers seem down.

      You can also just do it yourself if you are willing to do some slightly complicated tech stuff: http://switch.hacks.guide

      They are insufferable dicks. They released the Switch with a huge hardware exploit that was quickly figured out. Basically first year Switches are vulnerable to hacking and Nintendo can't do shit about it. Going forward, newer Switches were modified and harder to hack (if at all).

      So you'd think that would be the end of the story: a few million units out of tens of millions sold can be altered to run homebrew and backups. Wrong. Nintendo is trying to sue anyone who has anything to do with commercial exploit products out of existence.

      So to recap: Nintendo fucks up and a few companies figure it out. Nintendo has since changed their hardware to combat exploits but because a few million unit are exploitable, everyone must face legal action.

      It's the game shark all over again.
