good afternoon fellow workers, a question the rp2040-one is used to be able to install in the console I have this doubt since the zero has 2 memory and this one has 4 memory it will be that it is not compatible

I also want to know if the 2040 one works, because I saw a video where it worked and I thought it was safe, but lately I have seen that several users have tried to install it with problems

oot.. what type mosfet is that , looks big
It is a 4C10N and it works like a charm. I also added a 2.4K resistor between the gate and ground to immediately discharge the gate when not in use. It usually takes one second to successfully glitch the console. It rarely take up to ten seconds. I also got the payload working now. I was using the wrong method.

Some got it working, others havent. So far the issue I have is red flash once and won't boot with cmd connected. Others have had the red flash thing too

I have tried the PGA2040 and no success. I added an ARGB LED to see the status and ist just flashes red once and then does nothing. I don't know what the reason could be. It is the same controller and the only real difference is the SPI flash which is a different model and much larger. I then switched to the Waveshare one and it worked.

I used the same diagram for the rp2040-one as the zero.... I assume based on the similar design that its the same. Although I didnt hook up CPU at all, I would expect it to blink cyan like the guide says
current firmware encryption assumes you have rp2040-B2 with Flash ID starting as E6-6x

it could be your one has -B1, or -B0 chip, or the flash ID is different

will be also disabled in v2.6...

:) That would explain that, the 4MB vs 2MB doesn't matter?

Would also explain why my regular Pico didn't work. Is there a quick way to check flash id?

Maybe some installed it incorrectly
My points are correct and when I switched out for hwfly, it boot up fine.

I just got the zero in and it act differently after you install the firmware. I think it’s our one chips or it’s the bootloader that might be giving us the problem.

  • 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
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    do y'all think having an sd card that has a write speed of 700kb/s is a bad idea?
    trying to restore emunand rn but it's taking ages... (also when I finished the first time hekate decided to delete all my fucking files :wacko:)
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @Karma177 that sd card is 100% faulty so yes, its a bad idea
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    even the slowest non-sdhc sd cards are a few MB/s
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    @The Real Jdbye it hasn't given me any error trying to write things on it so I don't really think it's faulty (pasted 40/50gb+ folders and no write errors)
  • DinohScene @ DinohScene:
    run h2testw on it

  • DinohScene @ DinohScene:
    when SD cards/microSD write speeds drop below a meg a sec, they're usually on the verge of dying

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Samsung SD format can sometimes fix them too
  • Purple_Heart @ Purple_Heart:
    yes looks like an faulty sd
  • Purple_Heart @ Purple_Heart:
    @Psionic Roshambo i may try that with my dead sd cards

    It's always worth a shot

    @The Real Jdbye, I considered that, but i'll have to wait until i can get the eu version in the mail lol
