GoKawiilDeveloper patches $45 USB-C hub firmware to work as Nintendo Switch 2 dock
A hobbyist known as mkopec modified the firmware of a roughly $45 Cable Matters USB-C hub, adding about 540 bytes of code to make it function as an unofficial Nintendo Switch 2 dock. The patch makes the hub respond to Nintendo's proprietary vendor messages so it is recognized as an official dock, enabling TV mode, and a related tweak also fixes washed-out HDR over HDMI. The modder said the hub still works normally with a PC and phone after the change.
