Hello!
I have a Switch v1 stuck at the Switch Logo after installing the SX Core chip.
The solder is fine but it wont pass after the logo. All it was done on the console was an emunand creation.
It could be the dreaded wifi chip failing or a corrupted NAND, right?
Is there any way I could quickly rule one of them out?
Any tip is welcome!
Thanks!

Check your boot.dat and SXOS.bin file, since it boot correctly problem isn't the Chip. Why you installed SX core when you could have went with a Trinket M0.

I've installed many trinket and RCM-X86 before. This one is a patched v1... The serial is XAJ7005465 :/

What do you mean by SXOS.bin file?

He means the payload.bin

Is it possible to load android through TX SX Boot menu? If so you can check the wifi chip.

Important message :

Those that are having 'stuck on joycon logo' issues after installing their sx core, a solution seems to have been found theres attached this close-up corner of the erista motherboard with the area you should check, this two parts can be easy damaged when removing the nvidia metal shield and replacing it back. - EDIT: -- The Mariko motherboard, has similar two caps in that same area as highlighted in the above erista photo.

On some Switches the hardest part of the SX Core install is removing the spreader LOL.

Good job guys.

In one of the consoles I spent 30 effing minutes trying to open that MF.
It's so hard sometimes!

Did one the other day and the heat shield popped right off after getting under one corner. Other ones have been pretty tight and a pain.

my switch has stuck on the nintendo logo too, please help, i have lost the two capacitor on the soldering point when doing soldering, i am a new to soldering, i think i has mess it up, i send to the professional later, they manage to help me solder the sx core on the joint without the capacitor,
i have test to boot without sx core and the lost capacitor previously, it manage to boot up without any problem, now after install the sx core, and trying to boot to emunand, it has stucked at the nintendo logo @@, is it because of the capacitor missing?

when i tried to learn to solder first tried old electronic boards, obviously just went to maplins got any old soldering iron and made a mess. better to practice on non-working shit before your prized console. its good to be gung-ho but know your limits.

  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    yall im torn... ive been hacking away at tales of phantasia GBA (the USA version) and have so many documents of reverse engineering i've done
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I just found out that the EU version is better in literally every way, better sound quality, better lighting, and there's even a patch someone made to make the text look nicer
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    Do I restart now using what i've learned on the EU version since it's a better overall experience? or do I continue with the US version since that is what ive been using, and if someone decides to play my hack, it would most likely be that version?
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    @TwoSpikedHands, I'll preface this with the fact that I know nothing about the game, but, I think it depends on what your goals are. Are you trying to make a definitive version of the game? You may want to refocus your efforts on the EU version then. Or, are you trying to make a better US version? In which case, the only way to make a better US version is to keep on plugging away at that one ;)
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    I'm not familiar with the technicalities of the differences between the two versions, but I'm wondering if at least some of those differences are things that you could port over to the US version in your patch without having to include copyrighted assets from the EU version
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    @Sicklyboy I am wanting to fully change the game and bend it to my will lol. I would like to eventually have the ability to add more characters, enemies, even have a completely different story if i wanted. I already have the ability to change the tilemaps in the US version, so I can basically make my own map and warp to it in game - so I'm pretty far into it!
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I really would like to make a hack that I would enjoy playing, and maybe other people would too. swapping to the EU version would also mean my US friends could not legally play it
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I am definitely considering porting over some of the EU features without using the actual ROM itself, tbh that would probably be the best way to go about it... but i'm sad that the voice acting is so.... not good on the US version. May not be a way around that though
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I appreciate the insight!
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @TwoSpikedHands just switch, all the knowledge you learned still applies and most of the code and assets should be the same anyway
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    and realistically they wouldn't

    be able to play it legally anyway since they need a ROM and they probably don't have the means to dump it themselves
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    why the shit does the shitbox randomly insert newlines in my messages
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It does that when I edit a post.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It inserts a newline in a random spot.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    never had that i don't think
