Hacking Hardware Modchips for Switch OLED

[jrpgdude]

Would someone possibly be willing to post a link for me? I'm so green at this, it's ridiculous.

I tried searching aliexpress and couldn't seem to find anything definitive. Ebay yielded literally zero results.

It's for a pokemon OLED.

Thank you in advance!

You got few options, picofly, hwfly oled, instinct nx, and rp2040 oled

thanks for opening the door with me, truly appreciate it.

for some strange reason, whenever i type these in to aliex, i really don't get anything defnitive. I tried HWFLY for a while, then found out about pico. i havent tried instinct nx yet, so, i give that a shot. also, isnt rp2040 picofly?

for instance, would this be good for my pokemon oled?

INSTINCT-NX is overall a better modchip, but the build quality is horrid. Have to be very careful soldering onto the board otherwise it'll short the Switch out. From my understanding, the solder mask they put on doesn't surround the pad entirely, so if it's soldered to, the solder will spill over from the pad onto the board itself and short. At least from my understanding.

The HWFLY chips sold now are pretty much the same as the PicoFly chips, but I'm not exactly sure.

That's great to know, thank you so much.

Though, this brings me to my second problem; finding someone who will do it if I pay them. I did watch a YouTube video on hwfly installation, and it looked to be a bit much for me. Plus. I have no soldering tools (Flux material, soldering tool, that cutter they use to remove the old one?, etc). I also honestly don't want to experiment on either of my pokemon ones (oled and let's go)

Some people said they had ground problems with instinct-NX on white one

So maybe I should go with hwfly? And are they supposed to be $12?

Go with HWFLY OLED if you can find them.

That one look right?

That is RP2040

That is RP2040

They only sell HWFLY modchips using the RP2040 chip now.

The original HWFLY chips are either expensive, or scarce.

Would this be the one @Hayato213 is talking about?

You have to asks the seller to see if they have it in stock, that is what one of my friend did, he got a HWFLY Core.

This is how HWFLY V5 OLED looks like

This is great, thank you! At least I have an example to compare with. Is this different from this one?

That is V4 OLED.
