What Modchip is this?

[Noonbaster3358]

A shop around me is selling this modchip for OLED Nintendo. He says this is Picofly however all installation videos I’ve seen on YouTube show this similar to Instinct V6 and picofly tiny or zerois lot different. Is this some version of picofly I am missing out on? Also does the same 2.73 firmware work on this one?

Well looking at the CPU on the board this is a PicoFly. Whoever produced this probably also made Instinct chips and wanted to re-use as much their existing board design as possible. The sams thing has happened with PicoFlys that look like HWFly chips too.

That is an HWFLY RP2040 chip, looks to be for the OLED models.

Also, how do you flash this thing in case it has an outdated firmware?

You plug the usb c part into the board with the chip (make sure you plug it in the correct way or it could fry the chip) then hook it to your PC while holding down the button on the board which then will open up the folder for the chip on your PC. You then just drag and drop the firmware into the folder and it should unmount itself after.

I am not sure on which button you push on this model

Exactly my doubt and point. I cant find a button on this model and am wondering if there even exists one or you short 2 points and reset it. I am aware that putting the firmware via USB C will give me a green LED light and eject the chip from my PC and holding the button for 5 secs will flash it and open the root directory of the chip but if this is even a legit model that allows this is my bigger question.

Finding it very weird that none on this community has actually come across this model.

There should be a 4-pin connector on the chip. Plug one end of the USB-C cable into the USB board, then, plug the USB board into the connector on the modchip, ensuring that the port is facing the correct way with the UP label pointing forwards. Hold down the 'BOOT' button as you connect the cable up to your PC; a new drive will be shown, which is where you would copy the Picofly firmware onto.
