Anyone posting video's of their "success" or "attempts" at soldering ?
not gonna lie the switch lite doesnt look hard to solder compared to the v2 mariko, its just extra solder points on board that are way easier to solder than the cpu smds literally just pads.
if was installing I would do the lite also as the difference is minimal
My current solder is 60/40 rosin but looks cold for some reason no matter what I try it's a solid connection tho heres an example.
Looks a little unclean cause I've been practicing alot on this pad but otherwise its perfect contacts
Its defo my solder though as my other solder is coming up shiny even on lower temps.
Atmosphere and payloads dont work due to needing updates. Ppsspp didnt work for me but could be my rom.
Tesla and overlays and sysmodukes worked for me fine.
Homebrew and installing nsps worked. Tinfoil works
Installing a theme with nx installer worked

What about incognito? Can that be used to remove serial if on V1 Patched Switch?
Can Atmosphere work with V1 Patched Switches?
Thanks.

I will assume yes on both because payloads still work etc, its just v2 switches that have these issues atm

thanks.. i'm not sure how small smd size in switch. but looking at other smd's in GPU, motherboards, looks like can be done without magnification. it looks like i need to find a magnifying glass if you say much easier with it.
Switched retailers, reason, big delay plus more money.
Ali Shipped, should be here by the estimated 7/06
I'm watching stocks for Mariko. If I can get one, I'll sell my v1 patched. Really would like the almost double battery life

Do you guys think it would be ok to break apart the backplate? I’ve managed to remove only some of the screws. I can already half-open the backplate so im wondering if i could just tear it off when some of the screws are still in place:
the centre screw on both joycon rails
Bottom right tri wing
2 screws adjacent to the charger
halp

Fun fact: if you dont connect the solder points and just put on the chip you get a red light and the console just boots into ofw as usual.
Had a buddy prepare his switch before coming to me for soldering and he apparently was curios what would happen.

you could try soldering your small screwdriver to the rail scres and centre because if your rip off your backplate the that spread of plastic its gonna be harder to remove the bits

@AncientBoi, Yeah, believe you can do PSP games as well. But a Pi5 is much powerful in comparison.+2 -

Not sure about other models of Pi4 but the Pi 4 B with 8GBs OCed to 2Ghz handles PSP really great except like 1 game I found and it is playable it just looks bad lol Motor Storm Arctic something or other. -

Other games I can have turned up to like 2X and all kinds of enhancements, Motorstorm hmmm nope 1X and no enhancements lol

I will admit that one does seem more interesting than the usual Ambernic ones, and I already liked those.

I mean yeah sure but the specs are the same as a $50 model, it's just those pesky "quality of life" things driving up the price, like an actually working speaker, or buttons that don't melt, and stuff like that.+1 -

I think all in my Pi 4 was well north of 200 bucks 150ish for the Pi 4 the case the fancy cooler, then like 70 for the 500GB MicroSD then like 70 for the Xbox controller. But honestly it's a nice set up I really enjoy and to me was worth every penny. (even bought more controllers for 2 or 4 player games.) hmmm have never played any 2 player games yet

Yeah that's what I hate about the RPi, it's supposedly $30 or something but it takes an additional $200 of accessories to actually turn it into a working something.

Yeah a lot of it I consider a hobby, using Batocera I am constantly adjusting the collection adding and removing stuff, scraping the artwork. Haven't even started on some music for the theme... Also way down the road I am considering attempting to do a WiiFlow knock off lol

Hmm, with that in mind, maybe a complete out-the-box solution with all the games collected, pacthed and optimized for me would be worth $150
