     @hellhammer666 two things taken away from this. The first is that holy shit I cannot believe how many people have never heard of a flashcart before.
     Second is that depending on the situation, this thing may be more of a pain than it's worth. Likely can't download DLC or updates to the cart, there's a good chance of being banned from online play because of unique keys and ids given to each switch title.
     Still nice to see actual progress, but unless someone really feels the need to play version 1.0 of any given game on a switch with no internet connection, you're better off emulating. It could also turn out my speculation is entirely wrong, in which case cool and I might grab one myself.

     @Iffine @hellhammer666 I seriously doubt every retail rom sold has a unique identifier. Too much hassle with manufacturing.

     @berkberkman @hellhammer666 At least the Vita's analogue sticks didn't break within 3 months.

     @hellhammer666 It's like the SD2VITA, but for a better handheld.

     @berkberkman @hellhammer666 My 3G OLED Vita i have clocked hundreds, if not thousands of hours on while hauling it around everywhere never needed to have its sticks replaced and still work fine.

     @Tamamo @hellhammer666 Only the Switch can have its analog sticks replaced with hall effect sticks easily.

     @Tamamo @hellhammer666 According to the people who hack switches, they do. Same for the 3DS actually.
     The unique ID of course is only used to verify not everyone is using the same copy of the game, so there's no need for a complex manufacturing process in which the cart only works on one system ever, it just needs to have a unique ID somewhere that the online servers can check. Hshop has a good section on the basics of this for the 3DS in their "legit" section https://hshop.erista.me/wiki/legit-content

     @Iffine @hellhammer666 Wait. What if someone dumps the cart and sells it? Does the unknowing buyer get a fuck you from Nintendo's servers and refuse updates or even gets his console banned?
     
     I mean i played pirated games online i grabbed from USBdownloadhelper with my hacked n3DS without ever getting banned. :puddicat_think:

     @Tamamo @hellhammer666 Yep. This has actually become a problem with switch hacking, people reselling games for cheap, or selling them to unknowing game stores after ripping the rom.
     As for the 3ds, this problem was solved quite a while ago, so it never proved an issue. No such method has been found in the switch though.
