This was my first attempt at making a straight key (except for one made from a strap hinge when I was in the Boy Scouts). It was constructed of aircraft aluminum (2024-T4) and has brass contacts. The lever is pivoted by ball bearings at the far end of the key. The 'bridge' structure bears the screw that limits the upward travel, and the spring tension is set by the large wheel on the base. The design proved simple to make and it works well, with a fairly light touch and adequate stability. Its performance encouraged me to do some exploring of related designs.

This is a group of four aluminum mini-keys for QRP operating. From left to right, here are their features: The largest of these is a ball-pivot model with spring tension and is fully adjustable. The next key has the same mechanism, but scaled down for more portability. Beside it is one of similar design that uses spring tension but has a vertical tensioning mechanism. The last key is the prototype of the Parkwood Pup. This key is the smallest of all - it has magnetic tensioning and is fully adjustable. The lever is pivoted on ball bearings, and connection to the transmitter is made via an 1/8' phone jack.

Applications are installed by copying the necessary files directly to the switch/ folder in the root of the SD card, or in a subdirectory of switch/, in which case said subfolder must be named identically to its executable.

  • The Switch 5.0.0 system update was released on March 12, 2018. This Switch update was released for the following regions: ALL. Security flaws fixed:.
  • The addition of a menu to manage multiple key overwrites to enter the homebrew menu. This uses something that was newly introduced with Atmosphere 10.0 and will hopefully be useful to a lot of people.Allowing sysmodules to write their own Kosmos Toolbox configs so they can dynamically show up in the Toolbox without the user ever needing to edit.
  • Still cant get my head around it. It says that I need keys in preparation step and in 1st step with Choi on PC. So long before step 8. I dont understand how it works. Should I just google some else's keys for older fw version? Should I somehow convert my prod.keys to keys.txt? That keys part seems complicated as hell.
  • Currently we have no plans to support 3.0.1 and above. We recommend buying another system purely for homebrew purposes. When the time comes, we will release nx-hbl which is our NRO launcher that can be used with kernelhax'd systems. How do I know what version a system comes on? In the retail store, you can inspect the serial number on the box.
Keys

This is a brass version of the Parkwood Pup shown above. Dll files fixer license key generator and patch v2 rar. While it is a bit heavier than the prototype, it still packs into a very small space. Click here for more information.


This is an attempt at a more conventional design. The mechanical parts are made from C360 brass with a lacquer finish. It is mounted on a piece of Colorado alabaster (brought back from a quarry near Carbondale, CO). The lever pivots on 1/2 inch ball bearings, and tension is provided by the usual coil spring near the skirted knob, which is turned from cocobolo wood.

This small key was made to use up some odds and ends around the shop. It was also an attempt to try a very light lever, made from Fortal aluminum and lightened by drilling a series of holes through it . The result was a very responsive key with a vaguely Marconi look. In that tradition, it uses a tension spring forward of the bearings. It has my usual skirted knob, ball-bearing pivot, and it is mounted on a piece of zircote wood.

This key is an attempt to evoke the appearance of the early Marconi keys, with a historical twist. My XYL and I visited St. John's Newfoundland on the anniversary of the first transatlantic transmission and stood on the very spot where the reception took place. A kind local sculptor donated the white soapstone for the base; the stone comes from a local quarry that is no longer operating, so my remaining pieces are being carefully 'hoarded.' For the full story, click here.

This key is similar to the one above, but it uses soapstone from Maine. This is a darker material and is used, among other things, for wood stoves. The knob is turned from cocobolo wood.

Another key in the Marconi tradition. As above, it uses 1/2' ball-bearing pivots. The lower contact is shock-mounted to eliminate the 'bounce' that sometimes occurs with massive keys when connected to a modern transmitter. It still produces a satisfying 'clunk' when it is keyed.

Yet another version of the big key, this time built on a base of bloodwood and with a skirted knob of cocobolo wood.

Still in the tradition of massive keys, this version is made of a high-strength aluminum alloy called Fortal. It uses magentic tension (under the knob end of the lever) and pivots on 1/2' ball bearings. The contacts are on the opposite end of the lever as in many maritime keys. Fine adjustment of the contact spacing is by means of the vertical micrometer. This key, and the one immediately below it, are more fully described in a PDF article. (Click here)


This key is another try at a front-contact key. It is much smaller than the one above, but retains the same features. It is made of Fortal and mounted on cocobolo wood. The magnetic tension adjustment is below the knob end of the lever. The large wheel next to the front contacts sets the travel distance. While a bit lighter than the others, this key is both nimble and stable. It is more fully described on the PDF file for the Fortal key above.


To show that elaborate tooling is not necessary to make a smooth-working straight key, I developed simple design that can be build with the usual tools found in a home shop (it does require a small drill press, a hacksaw, and some files, along with some care and patience.) All of the fittings are from local hardware stores or hamfest flea-market sources. The pivot mechanism uses dome nuts that run in conical holes in the upright supports - it can be adjusted for free movement with no detectable side-play. It uses a flat brass spring instead of a coil spring. Complete instructions for building this key and its variations are given in a PDF article. (click here)


Here are two more variations of the simple key. The upper one uses metal parts of the same size as the previous key, but it is mounted on a longer and narrower base. The smaller key has dimensions that are three-quarters of the others. It is a nice size for QRP operation.


Nx Homebrew Stuck On Generated Keys 2017

Now with 100% more keys!!

The 'easiest' way to get all 80+ Nintendo Switch keys to use with hactool!

Usage

Nx Homebrew Stuck On Generated Keys 2016

YOU MUST HAVE DUMPED YOUR FUSES AND TSEC_KEYS BEFORE USING THIS.

  1. Launch CTCaer's hekate mod (v4.0+), and dump your fuses (not kfuses!) and tsec_keys by going through the menu
  • For fuses, Console Info -> Print fuse info -> Press power button
  • For tsec_keys, Console Info -> Print TSEC keys -> Press power button

IF YOU ARE ON 1.0.0 - 2.3.0, ALSO DO THE FOLLOWING IN HEKATE:

  • Tools -> Backup -> Backup eMMC BOOT0/1
  • Tools -> Dump package1/2

  1. Launch CFW so you can access homebrew

  2. Via FTPD, Appstore-nx, or some other method of getting files on your switch, put kezplez-nx.nro and kezplez-nx.nacp in '/switch/kezplez-nx' on your sd card.

  3. Launch it, read the information presented, and press A to have the magic happen

Keys will appear at '/prod.keys' on your sd card, you can then use them with hactool via

  • A) (Recommended) Place them at $HOME/.switch/prod.keys, this allows you to use hactool freely from anywhere without having to worry about where your keyfile is
  • B) (Not Recommended) Place them in the same directory as hactool and use -k or --keyset. This is not recommended because you must directly specify where your keyfile is every time you wish to use hactoolIn the future, there may be features such as uploading keys to a site like pastebin.com for convenience or a payload version of this application so you can run it in RCM.
