A Tiny Open-Source ModChip Designed For Installing Inside A Nintendo Switch Console!

Hey, 'tiny solder man' where are you now? -- A Team is calling for you and your skills, check it out below:

We are creating a cheap opensource mod chip solution for the Switch. For now its a 5 wire solution, but might be able to get away with 4, I will also need 3-4 testers. This thing is tiny, so not for soldering noobs! Show me your soldering skills if you want in on the list

It has to be noted, this is in the very early design stages, only 'prototypes' are being developed right now by their team, but they looking for a few testers that are good at soldering skills, so if you advanced user with expert skills, contact them and get on-board the project.

@LineoftheDead we need you!

@DeadlyFoez and @vb_encryption_vb it's your guys time to shine

Shine, that's like saying we are "dull" lol, just joking. Yes, I've seen on twitter, eh, might have to go buy a switch now.... It was a service I intended to always offer, but my real life work may get in way.

@garyopa is in bed with TX, so to hell with them, I will not install their product into anyones system. Just a FYI.

TX pissed me off years ago anyhow. No need to reply either gary, I'm sure this TX device will work out just as well as the True Blue dongle

This a great idea and solution, but actually, i never tried messing with my console like opening it. Let alone soldering tiny parts and pieces through the motherboard. (I dont like to mess with my $400 machine. It was hard earned money) This will be a great solution but will be truly inaccessible compared to TX. I hope they eventually come with a solution like TX. Its actually easier to create a USB drive from scratch with the layout and parts as compared to cracking your system wide open and messing the motherboard.

Scires or Quagmire could sacrifice their banned units...

 

[Daggot]

Reminds me of the Mega Amp.

 

[jakkal]

I can't bother with soldering so I'll stick to the tx solution for now

Last time I tried soldering I broke my 3ds and had to buy another one

 

[DeadlyFoez]

That thing is stupidly huge right now. They can do so much better.

If they really needed a real soldering tester then they would just ask me. No one is more capable and willing.
-knock it off-

 

[Joe88]

I'll be sticking with tx, they didnt even say what this chip would allow

@DeadlyFoez - 18mm x 24mm is the actual size of SwitchME project proto by Team Rebug, how is that huge, between the sizes of dime and nickel, that to me is 'tiny' modchip.

@vb_encryption_vb - So in bed with TX (that is bad), in bed with open-source project from REBUG, I am still a baddie, how does that logic work out? -- BTW, RGH on X360 was open-source also, no one forced you to buy coolrunner's designs. -- And the Hitachi firmwares were all released for free by me, would you rather i have added DRM to it? -- And what about ps2 open-source project ICE, I supported and helped on that also.

Anyway, nasty comments are welcome, it just makes your shell tougher, I not a young punk that gets all 'scared' and 'bullied' and hangs himself because of stupid trolling words or pictures with dongles up my ass.

Haha!

If you werent such a shmuck to me before then i wouldnt be hating on you as i did respect you at one point.

But, yes that pcb can be made so much smaller. Plenty of wasted space.

Its just prototype, i am sure finished project will be reduced, and you could remove the 'testing led' stuff, since its internal that's a waste also. -- As for respect I always do, I am sorry if they 'tiny soldering' joke got out of hand, but I was not the only one doing it.

It wasnt that. Rethink about how you completely shat on me when i made a previous thread with an autocorrection of the team xecutor name

[Ninoh-FOX]

Yeah, for the structure, I think that this go solder in the usb port, and only five or four wires!!! I can't wait!!! (I'm actuality make an autoboot with an adafruit M0 with usb c port soldered)

Willing to bet that it can be brought down to an 8 x 8 mm footprint. They certainly were not trying to make it as small as possible yet.

They say in the replies a few times that this is a prototype and that the release will be smaller.

 

[wurstpistole]

But how u apply new payloads on that thing? I don't see any USB port

 

[aut0mat3d]

Seems to be some fun!
If any help is needed, i could help with the PCB Layout - did some verry neat and (tiny) designs in the past.

"I do tiny soldering"

 

[Ateoeight]

@garyopa I'm definitely interested in your prototype, I've got me some modchip skills. I've done 360 modchips, portable GameCube build ( ribbon cable soldering rely tests a guys patience), a YouTube tut on the 3DS XL nand flash/backup... if there's future benefits to having a hardmod. Lemme know if I can volunteer as tribute.
I cannot post because I'm a newb, but I do have a few pics of my GameCube mockup...

Ooh, that's interesting.
