Thanks for sharing, that means I can use the middle big D pin and the medium sized S? I see many S and D pins and I'm not sure if I can use any of them. It would be much easier to solder for me.
Yes you can use the big D and medium S under the mosfet..but the G you have no choice

The fix is already planned for the v2.6 along with other few things found. However there is a software workaround - you would need to swap the sdloader to another one using hwfly-toolbox. The latest one from hwfly-nx repo should be fine.
Thank you :D

Has anyone already tried it in Oled to find out if it is compatible with Samsung and Toshiba or if there is any limitation... And if so, will it have the benchmarks? I've only seen mariko and lite

it does not matter, Atmosphere is on the SD card
Crap I knew i should of waited before removing the usb c port 😆

Does it need usb c or are we able to hook up a a temp usb lead to vcc grd data+- and jump the boot button to flash it again for future update support

I'm looking for a pinout of the usb port

Looks like only 1 cap is needed but hwfly flex cable required two caps to be soldered.

Can we only use 1 cap in mariko v2? Why not 2?
Just one cap is ok on all switch model i ask this question to Rehius..i dont know why hwfly need two but i check the continuity and both of the caps have continuity between each other so just one is ok.

Remember: when you design a PCB more if is a Flexible one, you not only need to design the electrical part but the mechanical forces, stress and anchor too. if you put too much stress on a single component that component can be broken for external minimum forces or even the stress by heat.

@vi11ial, @binkinator, @rcpd and @rehius, any insight from the masters? Sorry if overpost, seems like my question may have gotten missed in the (warranted) 'OMG! WE DID IT!'-rush.
I could be wrong, but wouldn't that be a function of Hekate/Atmosphere rather than the modchip? The modchip simply allows unsigned software. Loading games from another source would be a function of that software.

This is exactly correct. This would need to be implemented in Atmosphere, and as @SciresM doesn't condone piracy with Atmosphere there is a good chance this will not happen. Sorry.

There is already drivers and support for usb drives. Not to expand the Switch storage or play games from like xci. But its there. Dark matter Core developed it

Interesting. I'm not sure what the point would be without game loading or expanding storage somehow, but neat never the less.
