Definitely works, i made my jig with one. I removed the little foam padding bridged the pin 10 pad with pin 1 ground and trimmed the excess ribbon cable.

That's what I use as mine, and I feel it's safer to use than anything else because it won't wear out the pins like a paperclip will.

Yes you Can! I've personally done it. I've even cut off the excess ribbon as well. Just bridge pins 9 and 10 with some solder and you're good to Go!

for some reason it gives me a redirection error

It's the same listing you posted.

So basically you want to set it up with a modded rail so it always boots into RCM?

It's definitely preferable to auto RCM IMHO but wouldn't bridging points on it stop a joycon from working?

uhm no,all I want is to solder together pin 9 and 10,insert rail(without the rest of the joycon) get to rcm and boot cfw. I do use autorcm but I'm thinking of ditching it since I'm always paranoid it's not off properly or that I just want to play a legit game without having to pull out cables just to boot a legit game.

So do you want to replace the rail on the console or the one on the controller?

Both parts are cheap and easy to find but they're different. IMHO modding the controller makes more sense because then you could boot ofw just by detaching that joycon.

If you're plan is just to buy a rail and use that as a jig though then that sounds like a good idea to me.

You can make replacement rail a jig. This is my jig and injector 2 in 1.
Jig from modded rail, pin 1 connected to pin 10
Injector by Trinket M0 powered by a super cap
The supercap can be charged from the rail. If you connect pin 3 to pin 5, Switch will output 5V on pin 4.

Tinfoil? No, you break out the soldering iron, some solder and you bridge that sucker. Use a small wire if you're worried about clearing the distance from pad 10 to pad 1, 2, or 7.

I don't have a soldering iron though

    yall im torn... ive been hacking away at tales of phantasia GBA (the USA version) and have so many documents of reverse engineering i've done
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I just found out that the EU version is better in literally every way, better sound quality, better lighting, and there's even a patch someone made to make the text look nicer
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    Do I restart now using what i've learned on the EU version since it's a better overall experience? or do I continue with the US version since that is what ive been using, and if someone decides to play my hack, it would most likely be that version?
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    @TwoSpikedHands, I'll preface this with the fact that I know nothing about the game, but, I think it depends on what your goals are. Are you trying to make a definitive version of the game? You may want to refocus your efforts on the EU version then. Or, are you trying to make a better US version? In which case, the only way to make a better US version is to keep on plugging away at that one ;)
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    I'm not familiar with the technicalities of the differences between the two versions, but I'm wondering if at least some of those differences are things that you could port over to the US version in your patch without having to include copyrighted assets from the EU version
