SwitchHaxing Support Thread #16: “Lockdown”
New users, please read this entire post and the stickied FAQ before asking your question as your question may already be answered there.If you're looking for live help, consider checking out our discord.How do I hack my switch?Homebrew is available on all switch firmware versions on unpatched consoles and select firmware versions on patched consoles.For information on current exploits, check out the FAQ stickied at the top of our sub.For loading CFW on all versions, start here: https://switch.homebrew.guide/.What about CFW?For free, we have Atmosphere, which is the most stable implementation of CFW, and Kosmos, which is based off of Atmosphere, but includes many advanced features out of the box.There is also Team Xecuter’s SX OS and their payload sender, the SX Pro. These options cost $30 and $40 respectively.Team Xecuter also has the SX Core and SX Lite modchips, for the standard and lite switch respectively, coming soon.I just want to load backups.Any Atmosphere-based CFW can be used to load backups given the proper signature patches.If you're looking to emulate older games, RetroArch works well and is accessible through the homebrew menu.You can also use Lakka, a Linux distribution, which provides access to a number of emulators.Where to go for scene updates:Our DiscordReSwitched Discord/r/SwitchHaxing/r/Switchhacks as an alternate source of information.Other useful things:An extremely simple thread containing information about cfw/exploitsIs my switch patched?Game firmware requirementsSwitch update historySwitchBrew

Images of SX Lite/Core have been revealed
Apologies for not being able to post the picture as I'm on mobile, but some users on GBATemp have posted some images of their SX Core and Lite kits!Source: https://gbatemp.net/threads/sx-core-and-sx-lite-test-units-received.565210/Can anyone comment on what the installation process might look like?

Don't let yourself be fooled by the recent images released. This chip is very small. Here is the SX Lite compared with a MicroSD card.

Homebrew games I want on the Switch
Clone Hero - Stepmania is on the switch, so why not Clone Hero? Guitar Hero 3 was one of my very first games, and Clone Hero is basically the ultimate Guitar Hero game. Seeing that there is an Android port, it'd be amazing to have a Switch port as well, although it'd have to be dock only.Sonic 3 A.I.R. - Playing through Sonic 3 A.I.R. was absolutely amazing - it's the Taxman and Stealth version of Sonic 3 & Knuckles we all wanted. So how about this, but on the go? This game is perfect for the Switch, just use your Sonic 3 & Knuckles rom and then you are good to go.M.U.G.E.N. - If Elecbyte came back, I'd beg for a port of this game engine onto the Switch. This is the Smash Bros of 2d fighters. Kirby vs Dio, who thought a battle in a game like this would be possible? This would be great for on the go gameplay considering it's a realtively lightweight game when nothing has been added.
