    Hacking Hardware Different DAT0 connection types on OLED switch (Kamikaze vs DAT0 adapter vs Reball)

    What's the led pattern when it boots to OFW? If kamikaze is done properly it shouldn't be a dat0 issue. I modded a skhynix oled with very inconsistent booting behavior before, emmc is reballed and dat0 is soldered directly to dat0 ball, boot time ranges from several seconds to a minute, but...

    Switch oled always boots in OFW

    Blue flash just means it's glitching, does it flash yellow light after the blue light? If so what pattern? Considering it's 2 years old you might want to try and update the piclfly firmware first: https://github.com/rehius/usk Also are you using a DAT0 adapter? Is it reflowed? Check it's diode...

    New PSP Placeable project takes broken PSP units and turns them into consoles

    I thought it's doing true digital to digital hdmi and upscaling like retro gem on ps2. If it's just component then not really worth it at $180 imo. Might as well buy a psp go for aorund 100 that has wifi and an ofiicial dock

    Dog accidentally sent my Switch flying and now I need help …

    It's pretty easy, just take the back plastic cover off and you'll have access to the sd card reader connector, Don't even need to remove the metal shield. Pull on the black foam tape and it should come right off. Remove the foam tape from the connector, align the connector and reconnect it...

    Dog accidentally sent my Switch flying and now I need help …

    Try to disassemble the console and reconnect the sd card reader. The connector is held in place by a piece of foam, might be loose and having contact issues

    Hardware Switch lite - FAN always ON even on idle

    Check your temperatures first, you can do it with status monitor overlay with tesla. If temperature readings are normal then check the pwm signal on pwm pin (pin 1 or pin 4, can't remember) with a scope, see if the signal is missing

    Switch Wifi IC Replacement Help

    No you need the same model, they are not cross compatible. Yes new chips need to be programmed, although i've never used new chips so not sure how to do it. Just get a used one, I bought 10 chips from aliexpress and they work every time

    Hard modded my first switch soldering went well but i think i bricked it. need help!

    Your cpu ribbon cable needs some work, it's floating on top of sp1 and sp2 capacitors and may touch the heatsink and cause shorts. But if it can boot to hekate then it's not causing problems right now and you can worry about it later. Since you are using an sx core type of picofly i'd say your...

    This may be a pic of the Switch 2

    Does this mean the analog stick might be modular, and we can swap it easily like on dualsense edge controller? Yeah i agree that bezel is ugly. Also is that a 21:9 screen? seems wider than the oled

    Hacking Instinct v6s VS Rp2040

    I always use the supplied cpu ribbon cable, anyway your mosfet placement and wiring route is the same as the cpu ribbon cable i use (mosfet under shield, sp1/sp2 goes down then goes right to mosfet, ground on both shield and cpu), only difference is the ribbon cable i use have two 2.2k pull down...

    Hacking Instinct v6s VS Rp2040

    Then explain why every time i switch out the picofly chip with an instinct v6 in a hynix switch it boots up instantly? I don't even need to touch any of the soldering points, just desolder ABCD wires and swap the modchip. Besides if soldering is the issue then why it's only relevant to sk hynix...

    Hacking Instinct v6s VS Rp2040

    and i've done 100+ picofly installs, had to replace picofly with instinct v6 on about 5 oled with hynix chip. Don't even get me started on toshiba emmc, they're much more tricky than hynix

    Hacking Instinct v6s VS Rp2040

    Wrong, i've done many picofly installs, they all work perfectly fine on samsung emmc and instant boot every time. Only picofly i had issue with is those sx core type with ribbon cable. But on some hynix emmc picofly just won't get consistent boot time, sometimes not booting at all. Swap the...

    Hacking Instinct v6s VS Rp2040

    It depends on your emmc chip. For samsung emmc they're pretty much the same, very reliable and instant boot every time. For sk hynix and toshiba emmc, picofly is a hit or miss, sometimes they'll have very long boot time, sometimes they won't boot at all, so instinct v6 is a better choice.

    Itch.io website temporarily taken down by Funko

    Imo DMCA is the most abused law nowadays, those big companies will slap a notice on anything they don't like, and the shittest part is, to fight back you have to prove it yourself that you are not infringing their copyright, which many people/artists won't even bother and just delete the content...
