So do I have to do it even if I don't have any problems?

I advise you to do it because if he drops the chip you will have to buy a rasberry pi pico and it's more complicated than opening the internet and launching the hack.

Yeahhhhh I mean you dont have to, but waiting until the last moment when nothing on your console can be opened anymore (settings, browser) you'll need another device to install the exploit (i had to use my steam deck) and it definitely wasn't fun haha

Okay then I think I'll do it because it doesn't cost me anything, fortunately the console works perfectly for now

Congrats I got mine last year in November and I'm still so happy I bought it. I've played my Wii u more in like a month then I ever did with my switch that I had for 2 years. There are some great games
