I’ve been saving a Sx core for months now as soon as I get my oled switch I’llbe taking it apart to see if it’s the same SOC and pcb layout
@ZachyCatGames claims that there is a new mobo. This is backed up by new FCC filings by Nintendo but we can't see pictures in the FCC filings because of a confidentiality request. It is definitely using the same SOC as Mariko but it wouldn't be hard at all for Nintendo to patch the boot rom so that the SX Core won't work. Anyone who has seen the leaked boot rom source code (definitely not me, I'd never download leaks) knows that they actually have code to prevent the exact type of attack that the SX Core uses. They just forgot to use it in the function that checks if the BCT is valid.

Edit: Yes there is that other type of attack that the SX Core hardware can be repurposed for but I wouldn't count on that being publicly released until well after Nintendo gives up updating the firmware.

Edit 2: Even if the SX Core can work homebrew bootloaders will be lacking things like screen initialization code and various other things that could brick your hardware if not set up properly so I wouldn't go fucking around with that stuff until someone like Scires or CTCaer confirms it works.

  • Jayro @ Jayro:
    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.

    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.

    Nothing special about it other than it's more comfortable than the Lite
