Switch News: Images leak of Team Xecuter’s mod chip for ipatched & mariko Switch consoles – First shipment to come sometime after Chinese New Year (25 January)
Up till now, 2020 has been a pretty exciting year for the usual scenes with Citra coming soon on Android, RetroArch r2 being released for the PS4 & DigiTimes reporting that a new Switch model will come later this year. In this article, we have some more good news for Switch owners with a pictorial leak of Team Xecuter’s mod chip!
What’s been leaked? Who’s behind them?
With Team Xecuter presenting proof of their work late last month, it’s only natural that it reached the beta testing phase
Ever since the first news about Team Xecuter’s hacking solution surfaced, members of MaxConsole’s writing staff were always the break the news thanks to their connections with Team Xecuter’s members, suppliers and apparently even beta testers.
Now, they’ve shared yet another important development regarding Team Xecuter’s efforts which effectively throws out anybody’s doubts about what they’re up to by publishing leaked pictures of the mod chip itself.
According to MaxConsole’s writer ‘ub3r1337’, the pictures of the modchip, which is shown installed on an ipatched console, were leaked by an individual that’s part of the Team Xecuter’s inner circle of beta testers which lends a good deal of credibility to the report. From the images, the modchip doesn’t seem to be too large and appears pretty compact although it’s important to state that the final design may vary from what’s currently being shown as the product isn’t finalised yet.
When will Team Xecuter release their hacking solution? Should I go get a Switch?
With the release of TX’s hack seeming closer than ever, it may be a good idea to grab a Switch before Nintendo even gets the chance to think about patching it by releasing a new hardware revision
Keeping in line with Team Xecuter’s claim in late December about potential availability in early 2020, MaxConsole’s source disclosed that the first shipment will likely happen sometime after the Chinese New Year (25th January 2020) meaning that a retail release may not be too far off. However, it must be noted that the Switch Lite version will probably be released at a later date as previously reported in articles from last year.
As of right now, the latest news on the matter is that all Nintendo Switch units, including the Switch Lite, are compatible with Team Xecuter’s hacking solution (the Lite requires a different version) although this may change when the hacking solution is actually released. As a result, if you’re thinking about getting a Nintendo Switch, it might be wise to think about getting one soon because there’s no telling how fast Nintendo will patch the hardware vulnerability that makes hacking newer Switch models possible.
Conclusion
Other than good news on the Switch front, the emulation scene has also seen some love with the release of bsnes v114 & the PSVita received Julius 1.2.0 while the 3DS received an English translation of its FabStyle title.

It will never stop bothering me that you don’t know the difference between “that’s” and “who’s”.
You are not a “that”. You are a “who”. I know it’s 2020, but you’re still a person and not a thing.
God, I hate millennials.

Being called a boomer isn’t a bad thing , check the facts that were brought up about them, number one they control 73% of all wealth on the planet. The latter though, being called a millennial, riddled with negatives.
Boomer trying to feel superior about being a boomer.

This misused contraction actually annoys me, too. The problem lies in the fact that the contraction, “that’s”, is short for “that is”, instead of “that has”.

Unless you’re a boomer, we’re in fact all millennials.
Shut up boomer
With the pictures I can see that the chip is actually plug and play, you just have to remove the internal memory of the switch and connect the chip in that slot, then connect the memory of the switch to the chip; Which I think would have to be soldered, to more comfort, is the usb connection of the chip to the usb connection of the switch, to be able to send some type of data such as payload …
sorry for my english, is not my primary language
Damn it needs to be solderless
It’s solderless, but you can make it more easy to inject data with the USB of the chip soldered to the original USB of the switch
