Hardware Hacker Attempts to Run NVMe SSD on Switch 2: Adapter Falls Short but Future MicroSD Express Emulation Could Hold Promise

Sure thing, let’s dive into this chaotic wonderland of DIY gaming hacks. So, turns out this new-fangled MicroSD Express thingy for the Switch 2 is, well, kinda like gold right now. Pricey stuff. So, folks are going all MacGyver to come up with cheaper ways to juice up their storage. I stumbled on this YouTube channel by Better Gaming, trying out this wild idea using some kind of open-source gizmo to hook up a full-on M.2 NVMe SSD to the Switch 2. But spoiler alert: didn’t quite pan out.

Now, there’s this adapter—aptly dubbed SDEX2M2, which honestly sounds like a spaceship’s call sign—and it rides on the coattails of this SD Express 7.1 mumbo jumbo. It’s all about using PCIe Gen 3×1, if that means anything to you tech-heads. Anyway, imagine the excitement. Grab the blueprints, whip up some PCBs through some mystery third-party elves, slap on components – voilà. In theory, a masterpiece.

After some epic soldering battles (four tries if you’re counting), Better Gaming gets a functioning thingamajig, slots it into the Switch 2. Physically, looks slick, and boom, the console says, “Hi!” But, wait for it, the story takes a dark turn. Error code “2016-0641” rears its ugly head. No idea what that means? Me neither, but it’s bad.

Here’s where it gets complicated—in tech speak, or maybe just in life. NVMe SSDs and the Switch 2? They’re talking past each other. Turns out, our passive adapter doesn’t do enough chatting for the Switch 2’s liking. These SSDs have their own controllers, but these ain’t speaking the MicroSD Express language, apparently, anyway.

The whiz kids behind SDEX2M2 are embarking on version 2.0—allegedly with some wizardry involving an FPGA to mimic a MicroSD Express controller. If they nail it? It’s a game-changer—literally. You might not ace limbo with this setup (hello, bulky adapter), but still, it’s cheaper than forking over an arm and leg for those MicroSD cards. Consider this: you’re saving cash, maybe enough to buy a pizza with your savings. Can’t argue with that.

So, my fellow gamers, stay tuned to see if Better Gaming and the SDEX2M2 crew manage a miracle with the next hack. Meanwhile, Google News is your friend for more epic DIY tales like this. Follow along if you’re curious!
