Introduction

Due to a few oversights in the switch's hardware, we're quite easily able to get cfw running on the system, so long as you have a first generation UNPATCHED switch model. To check if your switch is patched, please visit this website.

Fusee-gelee is a bootrom level hardware exploit nintendo is unable to patch. Every single switch with the vulnerable bootrom is permanently hackable and Nintendo cannot do a single thing to stop you. The exploit was eventually patched leaving the number of exploitable units on a permanent decline. These units can be hacked through hardmods, but we will not cover how to install. If you want a good, reliable video guide for installation of these modchips, check out this playlist on ModzvileUSA's site.
