how are the pins on your motherboard
because if your damaged the reader pins you could have damaged to board

also take a shot in focus

I have tried ordering the SX Core on three different sites.
Aliexpress' seller is also having trouble now.
Basically I can't get it from China.
Is there a resller in a different country that ships worldwide ?

Did any of you get ur sx core via 4PX delivery?
Mine is stuck there:

4PX is legitimate. I had an order for a case and third party dock that just got delivered and 4PX was the tracking information that was provided to me.

As you can see, it does take a few business days to start moving again.

Ok I have a question or two, just want to make sure.

Do I need an sd card to install the chip? Like I can have an installer do it, and send it back soldered and I do the license and the dump nand thing myself? Or do they need an sd card to make sure it works?

This leads into question two...

I have an 512gb card now, if I want to upgrade later to a bigger sd card. Is it just drag and drop the files? I'd be using ofw and cfw, and emunand i guess? (want online on ofw safe)

I'm new to switch of course, I was big in the psp scene since launch and have done quite a bit of android flashing/roms.

I updated my switch lite to the latest firmware version accidentally. Does this mean I can’t install the SX Lite or does the latest SX OS support the latest Lite firmware?

thanks

the sd card is to confirm it gets past the boot.dat screen
also in my case when i installed i also made sure the card for the user was formatted fat32 and primat/active so it booted

if you setup the emunand as files (not partition) you cna just drag and drop to new card

psp scene was different, having to use tiff exploits pandora batteries and when i was making theme using alpha channel bmps before png support. that and using sonys dev encoder to make pmf files

Is this soldering iron and solder wire good enough for me to mod chip my mariko switch ? (see pic)

So if the emunand is partitioned it's hidden from ninty?

I'd have to use a partition software(could i use windows partition or linux?) and clone the partitions to the new larger card if I did that right?

you can clone it and then extend it but having it as files is more convenient and makes it easier to install/backup

If you have a steady hand it wont be a problem , the main issue is that all the videos and pictures have a huge zoom these are microsolder point and a magnfiying glass or jewelers glasses are needed to see were you aiming and if the solder has done the proper contact , i thought that i could of use the zoom of mi phone , but i was wrong .

    also gonna install twilight menu in my r4 flashcard
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    One thing that just occurred to me.... The sound on the 2600 sucked less back then the harsh sound we hear now is from infinitely better speakers we have now, back when the 2600 was new speakers produced a almost muffled sound, like CRTs made old graphics look slightly better.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I wonder if I could recommend that to some emulation devs that perhaps the sound could use some smoothing out to simulate those old TVs
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I think a few of the early systems could benefit from that, at least up to the 8 bit generation, by the 16 bit generation I think TVs had gotten a lot better in almost every way

    It's old but it's the best firmware out for DS stuff

    it says it only works for the original R4, R4i Gold (r4ids.cn), R4iDSN (r4idsn.com) and Acekard R.P.G.

    nvm it does support mine

    Just give it a try, but honestly if you have a 3DS you can play DS games without a card just off the internal SD card

    Slightly slower loading but a bit more convenient
