''In regards of modding'' - You are at risk of rendering you console unusable, aka a "brick", when attempting to mod it. Each system is different in terms of difficulty, so use you judgement when deciding if you want to mod it or not and to follow each step carefully during the process. Any form of modding will void your warranty, though this is normally only a problem for newer systems, and may be difficult to resell if there's no way to "un-mod" it. Generally, it is <b>NOT</b> recommended to use video guides when modding, there reason being is they can become outdated and often don't follow all the steps or uses their own pre-configured "tools" for downloading which may not be the latest version. If you do decided to use one, make sure to check the date and see if there's also a some kind of written guide to compare it with and follow to make sure it's still accurate.
''In regards of flashcarts'' - Flashcarts can only be purchased online and there are normally no official "reseller" for them, so take caution and avoid scammers. Another thing to avoid is cheap clones which are common for EverDrives. EverDrive firmware has DRM in them to verify real EverDrive hardware being used and will brick clone EverDrives. You should only buy directly from KRIKzz, or from one of their official reseller. Clone EverDrives will generally require you to use an older firmware with crippled functionality. If the price seems too good to be true, then it's probably a fake.

With it, you're able to launch homebrew and even backups without needing any kind of special hardware or external modification.

*[https://wii.guide/bluebomb BlueBomb] <sup>(SM)</sup>: BlueBomb is an exploit that takes advantage of a flaw in the Wii and Wii mini’s Bluetooth libraries.

An exploit was found early in the Switch's launch which not only made it vulnerable but [https://www.ktemkin.com/faq-fusee-gelee/ multiple NVIDIA Tegra devices] also. Since then Nintendo has released patched versions of the Switch which are currently "unhackable" at the moment. You can find out if it's been patched by [https://gbatemp.net/threads/switch-informations-by-serial-number-read-the-first-post-before-asking-questions.481215/ the serial number].

[https://sx.xecuter.com SX Pro by Team Xecuter] <sup>(HM)</sup> (~$60) - A dongle that launches its own custom firmware and attaches to the charging port of the Switch. Useful for launching backups and homebrew applications. It works on any Switch that hasn't been patched or was released before June 2018. Ironically the product itself contains an anti-piracy measure that "bricks" the system if you try reverse-engineer the dongle <ref name="SX OS DRM">https://torrentfreak.com/team-xecutor-piracy-code-has-drm-can-brick-your-nintendo-switch-180628/</ref>. That and the fact that it contains stolen code from other open-sourced projects have left Team Xecuter with a bad image in the homebrew community. Even better is the fact that two of the people leading Team Xecuter were [https://www.justice.gov/opa/pr/two-members-notorious-videogame-piracy-group-team-xecuter-custody arrested by the U.S. Federal Government], so it may become harder to order their stuff online.

==Game Boy Advance==
[https://krikzz.com/store/home/42-everdrive-gba-x5.html EverDrive GBA x5] <sup>(FC)</sup> (~$110100) has a Real-Time Clock and supports any standard GBA ROM file (no patching required).

[https://www.ezflash.cn/dealers/ EZ-Flash Omega] <sup>(FC)</sup> ($60) has a Real-Time Clock and supports any standard GBA ROM file (no patching required). Users report that you must wait 3-5 seconds after saving in-game before turning the console off to avoid corrupting the save data, this is because of how the cart saves to the SD card.
==Nintendo DSi==
[https://dsi.cfw.guide/ HiyaCFW] <sup>(SM)</sup>: The easiest way to homebrew your DSi is really easy to homebrew, all by using an exploit called [https://gbatemp.net/threads/memory-pit-a-new-dsi-exploit-for-dsi-camera.539432/ Memory Pit] which takes advantage of a flaw in how the DSi Camera handles data. All you need is an SD card. Once modded, you can install [[Emulators_on_3DS#Nintendo_DS|TWiLight Menu++]] which can play NDS ROMs or DSiWare off your SD card and also includes various console emulators that work to some degree. The only issue is if the SD card is bigger than 2GB you won't be able to boot into the original menu and the developer of Unlaunch, one of the programs used to hack the DSi, disabled the sound of the original menu because he thought it was "annoying", which makes it feel less ''nostalgic''.
