Hacking Hardware Picofly - a HWFLY switch modchip

[psycho-neon]

@psycho-neon I'm gonna do a batch of tiny-fly. Is the top flex connector used for all your typical apu flexes or is there something you used specifically?

It was the same as the flex connector with the original waveshare rp2040 tiny. 8pin 0.5pitch flex connector. It will be convenient if you have that.

Where to buy picofly? Aliexpress?
And what is tiny-fly?

The 'slow mode', its almost always about resistor configuration. Every one has their own 'recipe' for this Dat0/CMD/CLK resistor.

Seeing your SS, i think the problem lay on that.
Your keys are gone or corrupted.
I think this is the source problem you could not go to OFW.

Some of example of the various device i modded before:

Unfortunately modding is like a 'trust' operation.

If you give your device on the modder, they could backup your key or whatever, and can abuse it actually.

I backup all the past device just for 'in case' something happened. I actually have some v1 and lite keys which is not banned. Its from broken devices. Have no time to playing around about it. In theory someone could use it to unbanned their device, but i've no time on experimenting it.

The nand are married to the SoC. You don't need to keep it anymore. You have to change the SoC alongside with the nand too.

Does game cartridge still able to play game after motherboard has APU and eMMC kit swap?

Does gsmecsrd still able to play game after motherboard has APU and eMMC kit swap?

Yes but your console will be practically banned when you loose your original eMMC, because your new prodinfo will never allow you to go online.

I don't think that's the case, since prodinfo stores in the eMMC, the new APU and eMMC should have "new" prodinfo which leads to "new" ID, as long as the new ID is clean. Going online won't be an issue IMO

I changed 2 already but after changing sold that off without testing the gamecard(forgot) . I think you can because the customer never contact me again proving that the console works perfectly.

Damn, I ordered these in 1.6mm thickenss. Is this going to be too thick?

should be okay i think. Original rp2040 tiny is about 1.6mm thickness. I fabricated mine with 0.6mm thickness board though.

Does someone has a diagram for using this chip on an OLED please ?

does someone know if this is compatible with OLED ?

Tinyfly is a custom board based on rp2040 tiny.

If you don't know enough about the mod to know that the chip you posted won't work with OLED (without modification and/or searching for the different points on the board to solder to) then you should have a professional installer find and install a chip for you.

Hello friends, today came a Nintendo switch with a failed Picofly installation. The console and the mod chip don’t turn on. I checked the all board and I found a short in one resistance. The IC it’s good cause I remove and check the resistance and the short are still there.

So, anyone know were this resistance come or were go?

Does the fpc connector for USB-C connection like WS rp2040-tiny ?

Im pretty sure you can use the official waveshare fpc board.

Yes it is compatible with it.

..... As a matter of fact I did ask on my previous post if some one could help me finding the correspondance with nand points on the board since there are not written in it..
