    Check if your switch is a V1 model or a V2. If it is a switch V2, Lite, or Oled, you need a modchip. If it is a V1, you only need an RCM jig for like $3-7 (or some tin foil if you're risky, extremely not recommended, do you prefer to save $3-7 but chance frying your $300+ switch) and a usb cable.

    If your Switch model number starts with XAW, you have a switch V1, in which case just follow this guide https://rentry.co/SwitchHackingIsEasy

    If you have a V2, you need to get ahold of a PicoFly modchip, which is a Rasperry Pi Pico RP2040 flashed with https://github.com/Ansem-SoD/Picofly which you can DIY (or there are other ones, but they're expensive or hard to find) and solder it into the motherboard, and then follow the guide.
