First of all - thank you all for creating this Modchip-Thread and sharing your Picofly-Experiences. The GBA-Temp Forum was a huge Influence for me and convinced me to Buy and Mod my Console
I bought an OLED Switch and a Picofly RP 2040 Kit from Aliexpress similar (exactly the same I think but not 100% sure) to the Picture attached. I was not confident enough to solder everything myself so i thought having FLEX-Cables is a little bit more comfortable. Soldered it to the Board - started the Console - it glitched perfectly to the "NO SD Card" Screen. I can load Hekate and other payloads - Thank you all!
I have (had) 2 Issues so far:
1. I can not Boot to OFW (from Hekate and by pressing the Volume Button - both does not work) or to the patched SysNAND. The Screen simply stays Black (Recovery-Mode ?) and I need to press the Power Button very long in order to force Shutdown the Console. EmuNAND works perfectly (and was intended for Using the Console anyway) and also HEKATE shows no Errors when Checking the NAND.
A Week ago it somehow worked ?? - I was able to boot to the OFW (Hekate + Vol. Button) and the patched SysNAND. I was not able to reproduce it - but i did not try that often. Its unstable at best I would say.
I read about it - something about missing Resistors, which i thought was not necessary since i bought a Kit. Since I only use EmuNAND this is not that much of a Problem. Is there something I soldered wrong ? Are there some possible Disadvantages in the Future ? Is it possible to "heal" ?
2. 2 Days ago I tried to Boot the Console and it went straight to the OFW without the Payload. I tried again and again - and after checking the RP2040-LED I saw that everytime at Boot I got the following Yellow-flashing ERROR-Code:
=* D0 is not connected
My initial Thought was that the DAT0-Adapter (even though I soldered it tight) somehow got a little bit out of Touch.
I shut the Console down,
removed the SD-Card, and simply tried to boot again - it worked. Glitched Fine, showed the "NO SD Card" Screen. Shut it down again, Inserted the SD-Card, booted perfectly fine into HEKATE.
Is this some kind of Bug that can occur? In my Opinion it was no Coincidence - it had something to do with removing the SD-Card. It is working fine since then - even though I am not rebooting my Console often. It stays in EmuNAND in the Sleep-Mode most of the Time.
Again - thank you all for the Input. I am very Happy with my modded Console
