	In mid-2018, Nintendo began shipping units with a modified bootrom ~~IRAM~~ patch (ipatch) written at the factory, effectively mitigating CVE-2018-6242, and largely patching out the main community entrypoint for custom firmware access. These, alongside Mariko units, are commonly referred to as "patched units".
