    Hacking SD card is exfat and installed hos driver only supports fat32

    Always use fat32 for the nintendo switch, no matter the case as exfat leads to data corruption. Backup everything and reformat.

    is there any way to get custom skins for minecraft: nintendo switch edition on the latest atmosphere cfw?

    Hacking Android Switch with android: testimonies

    Kingston stuff is low quality in my experience, sandisk or samsung is better, android on the switch is kinda usable for me but as you say the switchs performace really isnt great for android. Even using it as an android tv it runs very bad so I wouldnt recommend gaming on it. If you want to give...

    Ripped off Pads when removing the cage or metal around CPU. Can i rescue this?

    Those are most likely ground fills anyway, should be fine, you can just solder to any other ground

    Hacking Hardware Mariko switch with Picofly not booting past Switch logo

    Nope, problem was entirely with the HWFLY RP2040 "clone" because that basically puts itself between the emmc and the switch which is why it worked flawlessly aftee doing a bog standard picofly install with the cpu flex cable still untouched

    Hacking Hardware Mariko switch with Picofly not booting past Switch logo

    Yeah should have prolly made a backup immediately, but atleast I got my saves, prodinfo, keys etc. I already went through the switch unbrick guide but it didn't help and even the emuNand wont boot no matter what, always hangs at nintendo switch logo or black screens after atmosphere logo EDIT...

    Hacking Hardware Mariko switch with Picofly not booting past Switch logo

    Originally this switch had an Hwfly RP2040 Modchip and it worked fine for a bit when it suddenly caused slow emmc and read/write errors. Then, the switch no longer booted past the Nintendo Switch logo, both on ofw (on ofw the screen dims after sometime but still stays at the logo) and sysnand...

    Hardware Switch not charging or docking but boots fine

    Title basically says it, during a picofly install the rp2040 shorted the 3v3 voltage rail which is why the switch didnt boot before. After removing the entire mod the switch now boots again but doesn't charge or dock (the dock flashes green rapidly and only stops once unplugged). I checked the...

    Hacking Hardware Picofly - a HWFLY switch modchip

    Hacking Hardware Picofly - a HWFLY switch modchip

    Thanks for the advice! Resistance on the right cap was 20.3ohms after installation. Is it really fine to blast the APU with hot air? 350C should be fine right? And pictures are coming shortly as I currently dont have the switch with me.

    Hacking Hardware Picofly - a HWFLY switch modchip

    Hey so I installed a one cap picofly mod in a switch because I think I broke the left capacitors pad (should I take the cap off?) so I only soldered to the right capacitor. Currently the switch does not boot and neither does the rp2040(no led at all). What could I test to diagnose it?

    Hacking Hardware Picofly - a HWFLY switch modchip

    Hello lads, im having a problem again with a picofly install, when pressing the power button the switch gives absolutely no sign of life, not even the rp2040s led is glowing. What could be the cause?

    Opinion time: worth chipping a switch with missing peripherals?

    I mean if everything else is working fine and you can actually dock the switch and are sure that you will never feel the need to use whats broken then go for it as you will still be able to play your legal backups of both switch and retro games this way
