Hello everyone.
I have a switch with a very specific problem, for some reason the sd card is forced into "1-bit mode", which makes the reading/writing speeds very slow, I have tried replacing the reader and re-soldering the conector pins. I don't care about being banned since I don't use online features.
Is there any way to install and use apps in the internal storage? I know the CFW has to be on the sdcard but can I do this?

Does the connector look good on both sides? Often pins break off on the motherboard side.
My cousin has a Switch with the same problem but the connector is good, I've ordered a replacement SD reader board twice from AliExpress now and both times it got lost in shipping so I don't know yet if replacing the SD reader will solve it for him.

You have to boot sysNAND CFW to install apps to internal storage. But it's only 32 GB, that's only enough for 1 large game or not even that as some games are bigger than 32 GB.

Unfortunately not and I have been moving around from shops trying everyone of them to fix the soldering and nothing, This has been for the last 4 months

I don't mind since I just wanna play emulators and small indies on the go. Does that mean I can have those installed in internal storage and I can use them?

    Eventhough the New 3DS XL is more powerful, I still feel like the DS Lite was a more polished system. It's a real shame that it never got an XL variant keeping the GBA slot. You'd have to go on AliExpress and buy an ML shell to give a DS phat the unofficial "DS Lite" treatment, and that's the best we'll ever get I'm afraid.

    The phat model had amazingly loud speakers tho.

    @Jayro, I don't see whats so special about the DS ML, its just a DS lite in a phat shell. At least the phat model had louder speakers, whereas the lite has a much better screen.

    They probably said "Hey, why not we combine the two together and make a 'new' DS to sell".

    It's a DS Lite in a slightly bigger DS Lite shell.

    It's not a Nintendo / iQue official product, it's a 3rd party custom.

    Nothing special about it other than it's more comfortable than the Lite

    @SylverReZ if you could find a v5 DS ML you would have the best of both worlds since the v5 units had the same backlight brightness levels as the DS Lite unlockable with flashme

    A woman with no arms and no legs was sitting on a beach. A man comes along and the woman says, "I've never been hugged before." So the man feels bad and hugs her. She says "Well i've also never been kissed before." So he gives her a kiss on the cheek. She says "Well I've also never been fucked before." So the man picks her up, and throws her in the ocean and says "Now you're fucked."
