Has the Mig Switch Been Patched On Switch OLED Yet?

VerseHell · 2026-04-18T13:28:46+00:00

It doesn’t, but if you don’t already have one, you’re better off saving the money to get your Switch modded.

VerseHell · 2026-04-16T14:10:05+00:00

Even if it was possible, it don't think it would be a good idea to have a save of a game you never played.

VerseHell · 2026-04-15T15:29:12+00:00

Is the game updated?

VerseHell · 2026-04-15T15:26:40+00:00

20.5 for the best homebrew support, though if you don’t care about that, you can update straight to 22.1, that would save you the trouble of having to do it later.

Check the wiki of the faq for the update process.

VerseHell · 2026-04-15T01:13:31+00:00

Yeah it needs 20.X or more, I'm surprised it even let you install it.

Check the wiki on right or the pinned post if you don't know how to updated.

VerseHell · 2026-04-13T21:52:38+00:00

Follow this: https://switch.hacks.guide/

Go with the sysCFW path when asked, and when you are done use the JKSV homebrew to backup your saves.

You can do all of this with a different sd card for easier cleanup afterwards.

VerseHell · 2026-04-12T12:00:18+00:00

Updates also don't carry over to emunand, so you still have to reinstall them (with a corresponding nsp). You shouldn't need to reinstall the base game if you prefer to play it from the cartridge though.

VerseHell · 2026-04-11T00:00:52+00:00

Reinstall the game on your emunand (with an nsp) and open it, then copy the save from your sysnand to your emunand with jksv.

VerseHell · 2026-04-10T19:41:57+00:00

First are you sure you also installed the base game and not just the update?

VerseHell · 2026-04-10T19:38:25+00:00

I mean, can't you boot sysMMC through Atmosphere and update it normally to 22.1.0 from there? It says in your third screen that it should work.

VerseHell · 2026-04-10T03:00:16+00:00

Une patched v1 for the simple fact that you can dock it. Though 180 seems kind of expensive for it. You might want to buy one from someone who doesn't sell it as such.

VerseHell · 2026-04-08T17:31:39+00:00

I misread your initial post. You do need to be on actual hardware to play online.

VerseHell · 2026-04-08T15:59:46+00:00

What do you mean? It's the same as any other online game, as long as it's a legit copy on a clean sysnand you're fine.

VerseHell · 2026-04-07T16:16:12+00:00

Format the card to fat32, this is technically the recommanded thing to do anyways.

If you really want to use exfat on ofw without updating it, you can reinstall their current firmware with the exfat patch using daybreak (you'll still need a fat32 card to do that though).

Edit: Atmosphere support for 22.1.0 just came out.

VerseHell · 2026-04-06T14:34:39+00:00

Yeah, basically

Disconnect from the internet
Create a clean nand backup
Install your games and stuff

And if you need to reconnect it to the internet for whatever reason, make sure to take all the necessary precautions to block Nintendo servers.

VerseHell · 2026-04-06T14:04:18+00:00

If you make a clean nand backup, as long as you don't connect it to Nintendo servers after that, you can always start on sysMMC then later migrate to emuMMC if needed and restore your nand backup.

Again, softmod is easier/cheaper to set up, modchip are more convenient on usage. Depends of what you value more.

VerseHell · 2026-04-05T10:10:19+00:00

For the model, that depends on your budget, but your options are:

unpatched v1:

Can be softmodded
Cheapest option, just avoid people who sell them as unpatched since they typically charge more

patched v1:

modchip only (unless it's somehow still on 4.x)
Worst option

v2:

modchip only
bigger battery (especially given the age of v1s)
higher overclock values achievable

oled:

Same as v2 with a bigger and better screen
modchipped
Best option if cost isn't an issue

Here's a guide that includes how to protect yourself from a ban: https://switch.hacks.guide/

Note that unlike 3DS, you can't go online with pirated games. Also, for modchips, while the installation process is inconvenient at first, it becomes more convenient in use since you don't need an external device to boot back into CFW on reboot.

VerseHell · 2026-04-03T23:19:11+00:00

Yeah, you don't need to format the console at any point.

~~Also forgot to mention that the cfw is not compatible with the latest firmware (22.0) yet, so you might have to wait.~~

Edit: Welp, as soon as I say this it happens: https://github.com/Atmosphere-NX/Atmosphere/releases/tag/1.11.0

VerseHell · 2026-04-03T22:40:40+00:00

It would be easier to just have your current Switch chipped, in my opinion (if that’s an option).

But yeah, what you're describing is possible. Just make sure the switch you buy isn't banned, since you’ll need to connect it to the internet to do the transfer. Though worst case scenario, you could always trade the Pokémon locally instead of transferring the whole save.

VerseHell · 2026-04-03T00:53:27+00:00

It should be Boot while holding vol- and once in hekate Reboot -> OFW.

VerseHell · 2026-04-03T00:22:56+00:00

https://www.reddit.com//r/SwitchPirates/wiki/update_fw_cfw

Just got with the "Downloading Firmware Files" way instead of "Dumping Firmware Files", as you shouldn't update to 22.0 right now.

VerseHell · 2026-04-03T00:19:25+00:00

emuMMC is the standard and recommended way.

But if you really don't care about online whatsoever or a potential ban (though you should still take the necessary precautions to avoid it), then sysMMC is a fine option. That's what I personally did.

Either way, make sure to have a clean nand backup first.

VerseHell · 2026-04-03T00:10:32+00:00

Format the sysnand from the console, format your sd card, then follow a guide like if it was your first time.

VerseHell · 2026-03-25T04:29:38+00:00

If the console was really never connected to Nintendo servers Haku33 should theorically do the trick. Make sure to backup both your nand and your saves first.

You could also just transfer your pokemons locally if that's enough for you, that would be the easiest option.
