I'm sure soon as its always the 1st thing that gets done when new(ish) hardware drops.
one thing is people seem to think its impossible to get a chip but i can see them all over ali express.
Yes anyone can buy them on ali and there are cheaper places as well. The real ones are also out there if you know people.
HWFLY already have Space-Craft Nx
Originals your choice if you want to flash Space-Craft Nx or not
Solder flex cable to tegra and plug into chip
Solder nand points from mobo to chip
Power on boot.dat if TX
Power on space craft nx if not TX
Setup accordingly
what would the differences be between core installation and lite installation
Orientation to line up with cable/Lite I guess and where you solder to on the lite.
Most likely the core since that is what they used. It has a smaller form factor and easier to fit.
interesting, would one require more soldering/direct cabling than the other do you think
I got my OLED and bought a very expensive HWFLY Core off AliExpress...which will take a month to arrive. Given so much has developed in less than a week, I'm hoping we have some guides in a month! That'll make me a happy camper, as long as I don't botch the very difficult installation.
It's ok I don't mind waiting for it, also waiting for the community to share really good instructions if they can. This is crucial and we can easily waste ~500USD if we screw up the motherboard and/or the modchip
how much did you pay for the chipIt's ok I don't mind waiting for it, also waiting for the community to share really good instructions if they can. This is crucial and we can easily waste ~500USD if we screw up the motherboard and/or the modchip
Eh? Anyone thats a novice in boardwork can figure out what the new NAND points are if they have a Switch Lite and a OLED. You just hot air the NAND chips off the boards of both consoles. Run a continuity test between each of the SX Lite's solder points on the Switch Lite and find which ballpoint on the NAND each solder point corresponds to. You'll have 4-5 pins, and probably a ground and a 3.3v power from elsewhere. The NAND pins for both systems should be identical. Then run a continuity test on the OLED's ball points to random spots on the motherboard and find where they come out. Those are the new solder points. Reball the NAND chips back to the Switches. You're done.
This is not hard and it's not like someone is hiding secret information that only some master hackers can decipher.
All you have to do is lift the EMMC chip and pin it out. Then install SX / HWFLY chip manually by using something like enamel coated wire etc etc

@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.+1 -

They probably said "Hey, why not we combine the two together and make a 'new' DS to sell".

Nothing special about it other than it's more comfortable than the Lite+1

@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 -

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."+2 -

anyways, we need to re-normalize physical media+1
if i didn't want my games to be permanent, then i'd rent them -
@
BigOnYa:
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.

@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:
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
