serial-checker

What does this do?

The serial-checker python script checks the serial number on your Nintendo Switch, and validates is patchness for Homebrew modification through fusee-gelee.

It has 3 possible outcomes:

  • Unpatched: you can homebrew
  • Possibly Patched: you might not be able to mod this version; includes most consoles that have been sent back to nintendo for repair.
  • Patched: you cant homebrew

Where is the json-file's data sourced from?

How reliable is the validity checking?

It should be mostly reliable, however there can be false-positives that this software can't account for. This is common for when you check only the first few characters of your serial code.

What about the Switch OLED or Lite?

Confirmed patched, including the 2019/2018 HAC-001(-01) release of the base switch, although you can bypass it through other means.

'I have a better/more reliable method of doing this'

Good for you, If you'd like, you can edit the code freely then do a pull request to the main branch.
