I don't understand this on the faq

Q: Need resistors?
A: SysNAND will not work. Line interference. Only emuMMC.


So we have to put resistor or not ?
you have to, they are required for SysNAND to properly work.
But if you can't find them no matter what, there is an option to use emuMMC instead.

What's with this 470 ohm resistor? Some using no resistors, some sayin 400 and some 450 . And this wool. net just posted saying it requires 47 ohm..
the number 470 on the resistor means 47 ohms, the two first digits are the value the last digit is the number of zeros on the multiplier (when the number have 3 digits)

0805 1% or 5%? is it 470R or 470K?
It doesn't need to be terribly specific, it just helps lower the interference on the eMMC lines so it can be read (seems to only be an issue once it switches to high speed communication) any 47 ish ohm resistor should work just fine. Mine were 0603 5%

I was going to buy 5 hwfly today, but I just heard this news. Would it be better to wait without buying it now? And when I looked it up more, I heard that the back plate cannot be closed if the pico is installed. is this true?
Which direction would be good? Wait for detailing pico chip? or directly buy hwfly? .. Guys, give me some direction.

if you're garbage at soldering don't even try it. It can't be updated without disassembling the Switch yet anyway, and needs USB and buttons removed to fit.

Aliexpress

So what is the shopping list for this?
All models:
Rp2040 zero
47 ohm smd resistors
Wire

Choose 1) all models:
Hwfly cpu flex cable
OR
Mosfet

Oled:

    @BigOnYa I had 4.89 hfw on super slim that was great, but when I got a new hard disk I forgot where the guide was and could only find a guide for 4.90 and its resources
  • S @ salazarcosplay:
    @BigOnYa I think another reason to want to update is if the hfw is at the level of the fw
  • S @ salazarcosplay:
    you can sync trophies
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Yea that's what I'm sitting on now- 4.9, and it seems fine, have had no issues at all
  • S @ salazarcosplay:
    I don't know if people play online or such
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    My ps3 short circuited during a deep clean still salty about it after downloading 2tbs worth but SteamDeck okay with emulation still just can't run mgs4 worth shit
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Yea forgot bout trophies. They just silly to me. Just like the xbox achievements. Hey, to each they own tho.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    It keeps players in touch with the game like a check list of things to do after they beat it
  • S @ salazarcosplay:
    @BigOnYa they ruined the gaming experience for me to be honest
  • S @ salazarcosplay:
    @BigOnYa Im not crazy about getting all of them, i feel like I have something to show for for the time put in
  • S @ salazarcosplay:
    @BigOnYa If you want to do rgh or 360 mod
  • S @ salazarcosplay:
    does it matter if you update your 360 or not before trying is it advisable or not
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Yea I don't pay attention to them really. Or do I try to 100% a game. I just play till story ends/ or I get the girl!

    Going to the water park, see ya
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    You should update the 360 to newest dash before RGHing it yes. But not a big deal if you don't, you can install new dash/avatar updates after. It's just easier to do it auto online before, instead manual offline after.
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Have fun @Xdqwerty. If you see a chocolate candy bar floating in the water, don't eat it!

  • S @ salazarcosplay:
    @BigOnYa I wanted to ask you about your experience with seeing south park. Most of the people a bit younger like my younger brother and cousins that are a few younger than me that saw kids found south park funny because of the curse words, kids at school, that seemed like liking the show on a very basic level.

    I could not quite have a in depth discussion of the show.

    How was it for you? As an adult. What did you find the most interesting part about it. Did you relate to the parents of the kids and their situations. Was it satires, the commentary on society. The references on celebrities' and pop culture.
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I remember seeing the very first episode back in the day, and have watched every episode since. I used to set my VCR to record them even, shows how long ago.
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I just like any comedies really, and cartoons have always been a favorite of mine. Family guy, American Dad, Futurama, Cleveland Show, Simpsons - I like them all.
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    South Park is great cause they always touch on relavent issues going on today, and make something funny out of it.

  • S @ salazarcosplay:
    @BigOnYa were you always up to date on the current events and issues of the time or were there issues that you first found out thru south park
