    Homebrew First DSi Hardmod From Me Coming Soon, any advice/tips?

    Probably gonna buy the adapter. I'm only $28 deep so far between the DSi and the charger (it has a broken touchscreen, that's why it's so cheap) so what's another $16 right? In a penny in a pound. Whatever, I'm enjoying doing it so far even if it makes me want to rip my hair out sometimes. I'm...

    Yes. If I am succesful and figure out something weird I'll probably make a new post on it

    I soldered to the PI, and still nothing. I think it's just gone beyond repair at this point. I'll let you know if I figure anything out :(

    Doing some research I should be able to solder to my Raspberry Pi instead of buying another adapter. Will try that this weekend (maybe) Actually, probably tonight. Might not work until later, though. Not sure.

    Do you have a link to the anker one? Also yeah, I'll try and figure out something for pictures. Might be able to use this magnifying glass I have along with my decent quality digital camera. I have a Raspberry Pi 4 with GPIO and SPI and other pins so it has occurred to me I may be able to...

    Homebrew First DSi Hardmod From Me Coming Soon, any advice/tips?

    No new developments. Maybe tonight or tomorrow I'll get the multimeter and probe a lot to make sure there's no shorts. Other than that I think it's the SD card to USB adapter :( PS: as far as I can tell, my solder job looks AWESOME. I'm truly surprised how well it came out, since sometimes my...

    Okay. I'll check my solder joints (and upload pictures, I was trying to avoid that before just in case something broke in the meantime). It's definitely not my microsd-sd soldering, I checked the pinout and pins like 15 times. Resistance is 0.02 ohms. (the wire has a little bit, shouldn't make...

    I don't get it. Everything seems to be in order but my PC won't recognize. I wonder if maybe my SD reader is bad for this? Giving up for now, unless you guys got advice or something comes to me.

    BIG problem. DSi turns on, flashes white, shuts off. Any ideas? EDIT: AFAIK this is the top screen ribbon cable. re-seating that now. EDIT 2: DSi plugged in but computer not recognizing. Not sure why. I guess I'll recheck everything with a multimeter. Maybe a short somewhere? I don't even...

    OK SO I'VE DONE IT. I now must figure out how to connect and flash it without breaking the connections. Pictures will come only after I reflash the nand.

    HAPPY FRIDAY BOYS. I've officially started my hardmod. No idea how long this will take. Got CLK soldered to the board (starting with the big pads before I do the tiny holes.)

    Gaming Found a possibly one of a kind DSi variant? Looking for info on it

    Super old and don't mean to bump for no reason, but did anything ever come of this?

    There's also a high chance that if I can fix this console, I'll sell it on eBay with the hardmod still attached. Not sure if it will sell, but I will try (maybe not ebay, but somewhere) It should sell for a higher price since hardmodded DSi's are hard to find, but at the same time there isn't a...

    Homebrew First DSi Hardmod From Me Coming Soon, any advice/tips?

    Yeah, for sure. I'll have to make sure I'm in a good position and comfortable and steady. I do have an ESD band and a soldering mat. Also, I have a broken tablet to practice some extremely fine work on.

    Thanks for this alexander1970. I've got a super small soldering iron + a hot air station on the way, along with flux, solder, and 34 gauge wire. I hope I can make this work. I also have magnification on hand (which is going to be very helpful) I'm prepared for the possibility of breaking it...

    Gaming "An error has occurred" on DSi boot.

    Hello, I won't beat around the bush, this is totally my fault. I was messing with unlaunch and some other stuff and deleted the "tickets" folder from my system NAND thinking it was optional (along with a few other folders but that's neither here nor there). Now, when I hit the power button, it...
