    Wii-U NAND-AID - eMMC Recovery and Replacement Interposer Public Test

    I designed these kits. They didn't materialize out of thin-air. These things take both time and money to produce. I've also given it away freely for anyone to use, make and even sell. I don't understand how anyone could say that I'm "ripping" anyone off. I'm sorry I don't sell them for $0.35 a...

    Tutorial Internal modchip - SAMD21 (Trinket M0, Gemma M0, ItsyBitsy M0 Express) Guide, Files & Support

    Does anyone have any data or a pinout of this chip that's being sold on Aliexpress?

    I'm asking if you can use the RCM jig to boot into a recovery menu to retrain the glitcher in the event that it needs to be and you don't want to disassemble the system to short the RST pin on the RP2040.

    Picofly AIO Thread

    I have two questions: 1) With PicoFly - If you have an RCM jig, can you use that on any model to get into a recovery mode to "retrain" the chip in software? 2) Is it true that if you install OFW updates via Daybreak in CFW_SYSNAND, you'll most likely never have to retrain the glitcher...

    OK! I see a few people have spun these up! Let's see what happens when they arrive!

    Hardware How I fixed 160-0103 system memory error

    I'm testing the SD TOOL that I designed to help with dumping any/all eMMC memory modules, not just for the Wii-U. I'll be releasing this for free for everyone to use, soon.

    Wii-U NAND-AID - eMMC Recovery and Replacement Interposer Public Test

    I just want to explain something as I believe there's some confusion as to why I've removed the "leg" with the castellated edge. Let's look at this picture and pay close attention to the component inside the red box: ^ This is a 10V, 220UF electrolytic capacitor. Electrolytic capacitors of...

    Wii-U NAND-AID - eMMC Recovery and Replacement Interposer Public Test

    Here's a demonstration of the NAND-AID; How the interposer fits and how the SD card simply just slides in. The solder leg on the right isn't a good idea. It doesn't provide a stable, strong anchor. For the time being, the large, 1.5mm solder PTH that lives under the MicroSD card yields the...

    You'll want to select 1 side for castellations.

    That's OK. I just wanted it to be clear that this is a WIP that will be partially driven by community feedback. :)

    There's a rumor going around that the author of PicoFly just got served papers. Does anyone know if there's any truth to that?

    Wii-U NAND-AID - eMMC Recovery and Replacement Interposer Public Test

    I understand what you're saying. But also understand that I don't have a lot of free-time to constantly rework a PCB that I'm designing for free just to spare someone the 3 minutes it would take to install it. I welcome all feedback and will weigh what I feel is worth investing time into and...

    Wii-U NAND-AID - eMMC Recovery and Replacement Interposer Public Test

    The leg can be extremely challenging to solder to as the capacitor it solders to sinks a tremendous amount of heat, even I had trouble with it. I'll think of other grounding locations. But honestly, this MicroSD holder solders very, very quickly and easily. If the person who's installing this...

    Wii-U NAND-AID - eMMC Recovery and Replacement Interposer Public Test

    OK, I'm already going to rework this PCB based on the feedback. The PTHs are gone. I've buried vias in pads for all of the break-out connections. The bottom of the board will pull the solder resist over these vias, which if the fabrication is good, will mean that you'll no longer have to...

    That is just an extra decoupling capacitor that stacks in parallel with the electrolytic capacitor directly to its right. It can be removed with no consequence. Nintendo dropped it.

    Wii-U NAND-AID - eMMC Recovery and Replacement Interposer Public Test

    You cut the pins flush on the underside, and then apply kapton tape or some other insulator to the bottom. A 2.54mm header will not clear the RF shield. It must be kept off. You might be able to sneak in a 90 degree header, though. I answered your capacitor question, several posts ago. I don't...

    Wii-U NAND-AID - eMMC Recovery and Replacement Interposer Public Test

    Developers (me and other people) may populate a pin header on there and keep the RF plating off if we're constantly dumping/writing to the eMMC. But 99% of the people who are just looking to get their Wii-U working again won't be doing this. They'll be doing a 1 time read/dump of their EMMC and...

    Wii-U NAND-AID - eMMC Recovery and Replacement Interposer Public Test

    You don't need to add a pin header. You can solder directly to these PTHs and be perfectly fine. I actually don't advise installing a dupont header here. I wanted to put an FFC interconnect but I felt that it would make it too proprietary. With these, people can use whatever they have to make a...
