Instead of a plain box, it now has clear branding to make it stand out and easier to find on my desk. Once again, my first impressions were really quite good. What's in the Box?Ī remarkably familiar package at first glance, the second iteration of the AceNS dongle comes in the same transparent box, with the same essentials to get you started. If you want to have a better understanding of the device's features and the dongle this is being compared to, be sure to check out my AceNS review. RCM Loader is a fork of Rekado by MenosGrante while it was previously licensed under MIT.A second RCM dongle from the Ace3DS team, this review mainly focuses on what's new and different. RCM Loader is made possible thanks to many open-source projects such as hekate, Fusée Gelée, ShofEL2, NXLoader, and Rekado. The "Storage" app permission is required for RCM Loader to find payloads on the device and operate properly.Ĭheck the Readme for more information and coreboot file if you would like to use the Lakka launcher: Great tutorial for absolute beginners to Switch modding/CFW: Now even when your Android device is locked, you can plug in a Switch that is in RCM mode and it will automatically load your chosen payload. Check the option for always using this app when prompted. If you'd like, enable "Auto injector" in settings to automatically launch when an RCM mode Switch is connected.

However since hekate can load Lakka, it is no longer recommended and may be removed in the future. Hekate is a multipurpose bootloader allowing you to select other payloads on your SD card, backup/restore your system, boot CFW, toggle Auto-RCM and more! RCM Loader also allows you to boot straight into Lakka, granted you already have your SD card setup for it. The most popular payload, hekate is bundled by default saving you time. Payload injecting, Lakka launching, Auto-inject payloadsĪfter setting your Switch into RCM mode, using a USB-C cable and USB OTG adapter, you can easily load homebrew onto your Switch. This is a limitation of USB 2.0 (EHCI) and cannot be fixed without a custom kernel patch.

Some USB 2.0 devices can detect the Switch in RCM but does not deliver the exploit. Root is NOT required, so most recent devices with USB OTG and USB 3.0 support should be compatible. RCM Loader is a simple to use tool for sending payloads or booting into Lakka on the Switch. Launch payloads & boot Lakka on Switch from your Android device! No root needed.
