    Picofly AIO Thread

    I think I've seen a solution somewhere in the other Picofly thread, of someone mounting the entire picofly on the reverse of the main PCB, so it is effectively sandwiched under the Motherboard and attached to alternate points that minimize visibility. Sorry I don't have a direct link to the...

    Hacking Hardware Picofly - a HWFLY switch modchip

    That graphic is part of the SDloader component that is loaded into an area of the eMMC and booted from to access the pre-bootloader unsecurely and things like Hekate afterward. Rehius modified the graphic for the picofly when it injects a new sdloader, but the picofly just checks to see if it...

    "NSP Forwarder Generator" - An online tool to create NRO/RetroArch forwarders

    You don't need to update firmware, but DO update your AMS to 1.8.0 along with sigpatches. The new forwarders (I think?) require it.

    Hacking Hardware Picofly - a HWFLY switch modchip

    To me it looks as if you haven't even closed the flaps on these FPC connectors, possibly even more? Disregard, I don't work with OLEDs, so I'm unfamiliar with those exact connectors.

    Hacking Hardware Picofly - a HWFLY switch modchip

    Sounds like there's something else wrong with your chip then. I would suggest doing as @linkref did and install either a RP2040-Zero or RP2040-Tiny and see if that changes anything. If it works, then it is definitely an issue with your original chip.

    Hacking Hardware Picofly - a HWFLY switch modchip

    I was always under the impression that it was the two center pins of the cable, as those are the ones that are soldered to on the cable-side when coming off the mosfet cable when stringing a single wire over to an RP2040-Tiny's CPU pin. So it's possible you've just chosen the wrong pin on the...

    "NSP Forwarder Generator" - An online tool to create NRO/RetroArch forwarders

    For me, this is usually resolved by using a different browser to make the forwarder.

    Hacking Hardware Picofly - a HWFLY switch modchip

    "Necessary"? Unlikely. But if you use nuke.uf2, you can guarantee it is the same as if you were fresh-installing a new firmware to a fresh rp2040.

    Hacking Hardware Picofly - a HWFLY switch modchip

    If you don't know enough about the mod to know that the chip you posted won't work with OLED (without modification and/or searching for the different points on the board to solder to) then you should have a professional installer find and install a chip for you.

    Because you are effectively grounding out the RST point by having that pad on the picofly touch your solder joint. ** is related to the RST point.

    Last I checked, 2.81 is unsupported modified firmware. All bets are off with compatibility.

    The picofly toolbox DOES include this feature. Read the guide, it's related to sdloader

    Hardware Legit Picofly?

    If it's a USB-C cable, try flipping your cable. It's possible that they didn't properly wire their pins. You may only be getting power delivered through your cable, and no connection on data pins, thus your PC would power the board, but not put it in programming mode.

    Hacking Hardware Picofly - a HWFLY switch modchip

    Welp, I dunno if it'll help since it also looks like you removed the two components to the bottom right of the reset pads, but the pads in the red circle are also connected to RST according to the balika PCB layers.
