|
### **Can I use a Mariko Switch/Switch Lite/OLED Model for the dumping process?**
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Yes, but support for those models is beyond our scope since they require hardware-based modifications to load custom firmware. We still recommend obtaining a Switch console that is vulnerable to the `fusée-gelée` RCM exploit, as it's still the most accessible way for jailbreaking. To check if your Switch is hackable using this exploit, visit [Is My Switch Patched?](https://ismyswitchpatched.com) and enter your console’s serial number.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
No, since the Mariko Switch and the Switch Lite are both patched from the fusée gelée RCM exploit. Currently, there is no widely accessible method that allows the dumping of system files and games required for yuzu from those consoles. To check if your Switch is hackable, visit https://damota.me/ssnc/checker and test your Switch’s serial number.

You are likely experiencing Shader Caching.
