Desperately in need of joycon controller workaround (other controller compatability?)
hello! i made a reddit account specifically to post this as i'm very desperate :') I have a modded nintendo switch 1 console (unpatched), but the problem was, I sent my joycons to nintendo for joycon repairs the day i modded it because i needed them repaired before i went on a vacation.. and it seems that with delays, they will arrive two days after i leave.
imagine my surprise when found that i needed to use my joycons to start downloading homebrew software! I have an xbox one controller I'd like to use with my nintendo switch to even be able to -play- games but i dont have the 30+ish dollars i'd need to buy compatibility hardware. in a last ditch effort i wanted to come here and ask- is there -anything- i can do here? some way to bypass the homebrew requirement to hold a specific button while opening a game? or any way to install some sort of software onto my switch to fix this?
i have a modded 3ds if i can somehow control my switch with that even if temporarily to get into a menu or something (moonlight ? idk, ) i also have a micro-usb to usb-c cable that i tried plugging into my switch + controller and it didnt seem to work. google doesn't seem to be helping anymore, but i apologize if any of this was google-able and i REALLY just have to shell out the money. thank you for your time
