Only USB 3.0 cables work on my Switch
Hi
So I have a hacked V1. It works for typical things but I encounter weird problems when using USB 2.0 cables.
- I can't write to the device using homebrew (ie. copying files to the switch). It just hangs. I can copy stuff from the Switch to the PC without issues.
- Dock USB ports do not work. Like a switch pro controller cannot pair using the dock
- Strangely, using a USB 3.0 OTG cable then connect it to the pro controller, it will work when connected to the switch
- SD card works okay using a card reader.
Any way to fix this? Have multiple hacked Switches and non have this issue.
I am thinking maybe the trinket installation I did is causing the issue. It's connected directly to the 2 USB data pins, gnd and the designated 3.3V. I did not attach the joycon points since I use auto rcm but my other switch with the same setup is okay.
