Tagged as shitpost over on Reddit but feels instead like an #offmychest about expecting a #consolemod for the #Switch2. And agreed with the OP.

About advices on how to not get banned on switch 2

RE: https://thebrainbin.org/m/random/p/758579

OP on Reddit went pretty hard on the precautions of his #Switch1 #consolemod, but adding to his questions about the risks if sharing data/carts with the #Switch2:

a) using the same account on a modded and a non-modded console is a risk, as sooner or later the user may make some mistake and tarnish his account

b & c) afaik the Switch cartridges track where they have been inserted, but I have yet to hear Nintendo do anything with the information

d) same as question a, so better to avoid getting the two consoles to communicate / share data.

Iirc, one of the very few ways to get a Vita banned was to use your account on a modded PS3 and the PS3 to get banned. Similarly, Reddit bans spread by both IP and accounts, the accounts tarnishing IPs, and IPs tarnishing accounts that try to connect through them. Two precendents of how banning technology may be used, so worth isolating the two consoles as much as possible.

Additionally, like the native tripwires I mentioned in another post, this one seems like an useful one for Nintendo too, if/when they decide to crack down on that.

Game Cube Hot Tub Animation Brought Into Real World

Unlike the current era where most consumer electronics are black rectangles, or the early 90s where most consumer electronics were black rectangles, we got a brief glimmer of color, light, and hope…

Spawn Wave on YouTube has shown a new way to mod your Gamecube without soldering. Might try this out myself whenever I feel like modding my Gamecube to run games off of a microSD card, my lens has been dying for years now. Could just use my Wii or WiiU though. https://youtu.be/MePwaGTsc1k?t=160

Decided to do a shell swap on my spare Flame Red Gameboy Advance SP. Simpler to do than I thought. Very happy with the results.

Another Atari 2600 saved from the bin. This one had a bad 6507, which was a bit difficult to suss out immediately, since the console was behaving very similarly to how it does when there isn't a cart inserted.
But it wasn't the cart slot, and luckily, I had a spare 6507 on hand! I also gave the machine a composite video mod; the RF on this poor thing had degenerated to a sorry state.

I'm going to be modding an NES controller to work with consoles using the Atari 9-pin standard, and I'm gonna try something a little bit different. I'm going to try to see if I can rig it so that the Start button maps the A button to 'up', and the Select button maps the A button to fire.
I'm experimenting with using an S-R latch in hopes that it won't be too clumsy to stuff inside an NES controller.

@duhproject I saw your in-progress posts, looking forward to seeing the end result! I decided to #ConsoleMod mine manually a few years ago. Works like a charm! It does prevent the use of the Disk System, but that was an OK trade-off for me.
