Once I do up the tindie page, I'll be able to get shipping estimates for different countries. I'll be limiting the first run of 100 to 2 per customer, but if a bunch of people live in the same area and you want to organize combined shipping just let me know via PM :)

Nice. Put me down for 2 :)

@MatinatorX Im looking into making a payload launcher payload (like SX OS). If I ever finish it (High emphasis on IF) maybe you could use it as the preloaded payload on DragonInjector? It would have the DragonInjector branding on it.

Could you elaborate more? I don't know much about the software side of stuff, but I'd thought the purpose of any payload was just to launch a file on the SD card on boot to launch CFW. That said, I've only ever used SX OS on my Switch and anything past MCU programming is beyond me. Is there a big difference between the way the SX OS payload works and other payloads?

Either way, I see no reason not to provide it as an option as long as the license for the code allows me to do so. :)

It seems that most of us making our own dongles, like @electronrancher, @Canna, @mattytrog and myself are all adopting both single-payload and multi-payload approaches to make the dongles more versatile. It should be pretty easy for us to add such a thing for everyone to use if you code it.

Any idea on pricing before shopping?

You know in the SX OS menu, theres an option to launch external payloads. Say a user wanted to use the modchip to launch ReiNX, RajNX, Hekate, biskeydump etc. they would just put all those payload bin files on their sd card and it would show up in my payload then they would select it and it would boot.

Ahh, I see what you're saying. So, you're essentially looking to create your own version of the SX OS payload that launches a GUI similar to the SX OS menu, but that presents you with a list of payloads available on your SD card? So, we would only need your payload to fire up that GUI on boot, and everything else is just stored on the SD card.

That would be awesome! Definitely a much more elegant and user friendly solution than a second button to switch payloads, and it would save the trouble of connecting the dongle to the computer when things need to be updated. In theory, once made, your payload would never need to be updated as anything that would change would be on the MicroSD.

When can you have it ready? :lol:

Just noticed that last part. I'm flattered :blush::P

However, if you can make this work, while I'd be delighted to include it as the default payload, it would be your hard work. I encourage you to brand it as you like and not attach it to any one project by anyways else. Something that awesome should be picked up by every dongle DIYer on these forums! If you want to collaborate, you can always say it was inspired by my dongle ;)

I think the better option would be for you to open source it using an attribution license like I've done. This way, us hardware types can credit you properly for the work you've done and get some donations thrown your way!

Now, I said IF I get it ready so just assume its not coming and you wont be disappointed. but id probably have in ready in a month (Yes I know)

Of course! If you choose to take on such a project, take your time buddy and get it right.

I've got to ask @MatinatorX to create a new thread for selling this product in the Trading Area.

No worries, that was always the plan. :)

Since the project isn't done yet and I haven't posted any links to buy here, can I keep this thread as a development/support thread and link to the selling post in the trading section once I have something to sell?

It would be great to give prior notice (release date) of when the link will be available. I've been following this for quite some time and would like to purchase 2-3 of these, and would not like to be left out of stock from a purchase link going up and me not seeing it :-(
