Hacking Hardware Picofly - a HWFLY switch modchip

[Adran_Marit]

Maybe in lite can remove cardreader and plug rp2040 on this place? Sacrifice headphone jack or make some cable.View attachment 358517

Will it boot without it

Would it be possible to swap the payload of rehius firmware with the hwfly firmware? Or is in a different format?

I don't think payload is the problem

we dont have hwfly fpga fw

If not removed, can insert it into the card reader itself.

It will stick out a little (if you leave the buttons on the rp2040), but it's better than breaking the case.

Waiting few for atmosphere

The Rp2040 in the cardreader slot is a good idea. If the firmware and everything else is working, I can design a new pcb for the Rp2040 IC, so it will fit better and have the boot and reset buttons outside.
But the questions is then, are the cables short enough or do they make problems?

I dont know what the pins of the card reader are but we could use them also, so we dont have to lay new cables around.
Maybe someone can post a schematic of the cars reader slot. Maybe it is also possible to design a housing for the new rp2040 like a normal game cardrigde.

just some possibilitys but need to wait for the working software part.

I have already designed and printed a plastic game board. it's not very big and I don't think it can be used to put inside a rp2040

I have zero need for DragonInjector with AutoRCM and a modded JoyCon but that doesn’t stop me from being very envious every time you post it.

What, what is it? It is some kind of loader that fits in game cards slot?

It’s an RCM jig and payload injector that fits in a GameCard slot. Nintendo shut it down with a cease and desist. Very few were made and I missed out on all of them.

Really good piece

We need firmware more than hardware ！

I think someone is working on it , keep your hopes up ig ?

Cut the shell to make it match

Did you realize what the back plate of the switch is primordial part of the cooling system?, opening that hole will break the console by heat!

The Soc wire might be to long doing it that way.

I think this is just for development phase (which we are right now). In future, he just need order a new backplate and switch back case (they are really cheap in China) for replacement.
