Hacking Hardware Picofly - a HWFLY switch modchip

[linuxares]

Sorry if EOF or something...


When I worked at my local game shop the owner was always telling the other guys 'faster, faster' and I always warned him. My job then became more fixing the other techs failures than fixing actual customer issues and I got locked into doing only the 'hard fixes'.

At one point the owner was SO happy he did 'something' (I don't remember what, on a Switch, port?) SUPER FAST (even said loudly 'wow, I can't believe I did it that fast') but when he went to final test, something wasn't working. He was afraid to ask me for help because I had gotten to a fed-up point with him and when I heard him say 'i have no idea what's wrong or how I broke that' I couldn't resist saying loudly: "BUT YOU DID IT SO FAST!" Had the room fkn ROLLING!

Needless to say, I didn't work there much longer XD

It's the classic

Cheap + fast = lower quality work

Fast + good = expensive

Good + cheap = not happening anytime soon

As I mentioned before, I was already in the works of updating the guide when you posted about my "needing" to update it promptly. But thank you nonetheless.

Staff aren't auto-merged. I normally do it myself. I just forgot this time since I were looking at a YT video at the same time

@lightninjay can you add a emmc diagram in the upcoming guide. Because I have seen many people struggle to solder 3.3v and they don't want to go through all the pages because they don't know. Btw We Appreciate the hard work you put in this guide.

I'll consider it, but since the emmc soldering is only relavent to V1/V2 normal consoles, not lites and OLEDS, I don't know that I will include it as a core part of the guide. If people are interested in finding out emmc points to solder to, it is easily publicly accessible information.

As @LogicalMadness likes to say, "people need to brush up on their Kung-Foogle (Kung-Fu Google)"

It's also called "Google-Fu".

And links that were posted to AliExpress just this past Wednesday are already dead links, so I would definitely say there are some complications surrounding obtaining these chips.

Seems they actually put them on their store now. Plus all previous chips. Except I can't find the Instinct-NX

So you think is something wrong with those chips? I can't test another one because right now no have another console on hand
