Lot of folks use installers for the various switch modchips. You probs had your handheld and it blank screened in the first week/month, sometimes it's incorrect files on your SD, sometimes it's firmware, and sometimes it's hardware related. My suggestion to those that paid someone to install a modchip, refer to their installers. You don't want to open up your handheld and void any warranty you may have with installer. I know you're eager to get back to homebrew gaming, I also know this community is an amazing resource pool for troubleshooting but if you used an installer save yourself headache, time, and grief. Reach out to the installer without hesitation.

Nah, my point being folks are paying a premium for these installs understandably. On the same token, they should expect some warranty and if installer doesn't offer take business elsewhere. As for installers, goes without saying should be offering warranty and support with their installs. Folks are trusting installers with their consoles, gives installers a negative connotation in my view when folks are turning to self diagnosis as their first resort.

    VR had the chance to integrate with existing games and tech but VR companies said "NO, I WANT MY SHIT TO BE STANDALONE AND MY GAMES EXCLUSIVE TO FACEBOOK"
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Back when Oculus Rift was still starting out and being demoed around, they modded existing games to use it as a 360° immersive screen thing and that was AMAZING.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    The tech isn't there for affordable power enough VR headsets at a good market value yet sadly, oculus had a good idea but didn't have enough funds for marketing iirc
