Hello guys, Pio Tiny installed on V1 and got slow emmc, I would add another 47 resistor to dat0 but I don't know if I should just solder it directly to the pad given one is already soldered. How do I go on about this? Please advise.

If you're not using v2.75, try to use it.

Hey guys. I know we can also install the rp2040 on erista v1 unpatched. In this scenario is the installation the same like the other chips? (solder wires to testpoints and without using cpu cable)
same and identical procedure as the mariko. always remember to check if the emmc goes into slow mode. check in the info. and do a further check such as start the benchmark and stop it immediately. on an Erista at first glance it was fine but after the benchmark I had the slow mode then resolved with additional 47ohm on cmd and dat0

or just do 100/100/47 by default.

Personally I think it's a waste of resistance. also because I assemble the PicoFly well in advance. and I repeat on more than 100 switches only the Eristas needed the double resistor.

does your local electronics store charge you per ohm of resistance.....?

obviously I'm not making an economic argument about it, if it's not necessary, why double the resistances when, according to general indications, it's not necessary? I have also read about users who have had problems due to having doubled the resistances by default. then I say why create problems with your own hands?

because 47/47/47 works well on 80 out of 100 switches while 100/100/47 works well on 98 out of 100 switches.
And the problems caused by 100/100/47 are more immediate and impossible to miss while 47/47/47 sometimes leads to ofw instability which is easy to miss during an install. It's simply a game of numbers - if you want fewer headaches, 100/100/47 by default makes sense.

I personally don't agree. in my experience obviously.

What issues have 100\100\47 caused? Guess I missed someone posting about it.

meanwhile several other installers here report 0 issues with 100/100/47 while tons of people keep asking about why they're getting slow emmc with 47/47/47
In the second link where you quoted me, the problem was more related to the new rp2040 tiny, rather than the resistance value. In that case the issue might have been with improper soldering or uncleaned flux, since we did not do further testing due to lack of time. This is not a good example.

Then it appears there haven't been any issues w\ 100\100\47 UNLESS you happen to be using a Pico (MAYBE a tiny), and even then it's still just a chance. Definitely sticking with the 100\100\47 configuration. I'd love to hear @rehius' opinion though.

    Eventhough the New 3DS XL is more powerful, I still feel like the DS Lite was a more polished system. It's a real shame that it never got an XL variant keeping the GBA slot. You'd have to go on AliExpress and buy an ML shell to give a DS phat the unofficial "DS Lite" treatment, and that's the best we'll ever get I'm afraid.

    The phat model had amazingly loud speakers tho.

  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Jayro, I don't see whats so special about the DS ML, its just a DS lite in a phat shell. At least the phat model had louder speakers, whereas the lite has a much better screen.

  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    They probably said "Hey, why not we combine the two together and make a 'new' DS to sell".
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It's a DS Lite in a slightly bigger DS Lite shell.

    It's not a Nintendo / iQue official product, it's a 3rd party custom.

    @SylverReZ if you could find a v5 DS ML you would have the best of both worlds since the v5 units had the same backlight brightness levels as the DS Lite unlockable with flashme

    but that's a long shot

    i think only the red mario kart edition phat was v5

    A woman with no arms and no legs was sitting on a beach. A man comes along and the woman says, "I've never been hugged before." So the man feels bad and hugs her. She says "Well i've also never been kissed before." So he gives her a kiss on the cheek. She says "Well I've also never been fucked before." So the man picks her up, and throws her in the ocean and says "Now you're fucked."

    anyways, we need to re-normalize physical media

    Agreed, that why I try to buy all my games on disc, Xbox anyways. Switch games (which I pirate tbh) don't matter much, I stay offline 24/7 anyways.

  • cearp @ cearp:
    @BakerMan - you can still "own" digital media, arguably easier and better than physical since you can make copies and backups, as much as you like.

    The issue is DRM
  • cearp @ cearp:
    You can buy drm free games / music / ebooks, and if you keep backups of your data (like documents and family photos etc), then you shouldn't lose the game. but with a disk, your toddler could put it in the toaster and there goes your $60

    :rofl2:
  • cearp @ cearp:
    still, I agree physical media is nice to have. just pointing out the issue is drm
