You mean I tip?

nop, the type of the tip for the soldering iron is called "J" tip
I originally did it with the TS100-C1 tip. It was fine for the tiny pads and clk point but didn't have enough thermal mass for the anchors. I usually use a TS-BC2 tip for everything now unless it's a large component which then gets the TS-C4 tip. I tried the TS100-JL02 as suggested but didn't like it. Should work though.

Nice, found some places selling pico zeros, so I don't have to worry about pinout. But where the foo am I going to find that stupid mosfet... Is there any equivalent part anybody could recommend?

It is time…

LOL!!!!
Dude, personally I'd wait a week or two until a custom pcb is made+tested to make it easier to install. Also maybe the glitch firmware source will be posted and you would be able to change pinouts, led stuff etc........

Personally I'd also leave the voltage regulator on to protect the chip in case of a voltage spike + mabe add a smd diode to gnd protect the switch against a short if the chip was faulty.

I were two and a half second for deleting this for being EOF but it's serious... the intro... waaat
We feature very very prominently in that video.
Like Binkinator, GBATemp now has YouTube celebrity status.

YAY US!

Edit: Between this video and the one about the 3DS/Wii U eShop preservation... GBATemp has been on a high!

normal pico doesn't have all the same pins broken out afaik, missing GPIO29 as it's connected to an internal temp sensor

although if you fancy yourself with the soldering iron you can remove the temp sensor and solder to the pad
If its not too much trouble, could you point to that sensor to remove please? I Assume gpio29 is adc-vref.
I only have pi pico atm. Waiting on a zero and want to test it out.

Oh the video with The Competitionist? I need to view it.
Yes. When they found out that the 3DS and Wii U cannot have more than 300 installed titles, they found that info out nowhere else but....
HERE! We are only in it for a brief second and you have to pay attention to see it. But we're there!
