DragonMMC replaces the stock MicroSD and NAND boards, and adds a slide switch to choose between up to 3 MicroSD cards/NAND modules. This slide switch protrudes slightly from the original MicroSD card slot, while a replacement kickstand houses 3 MicroSD card slots. Installation does not require soldering, but will require some disassembly of your Switch. All required tools will be included. Removal of the heat shield is currently required. Addons for the DMMC are planned, including fully internal Bluetooth audio streaming, and you can easily make your own thanks to the expansion connector and solderless USB passthrough. (Note that the DMMC itself has no USB capabilities and only passes the USB lines to the expansion connector.)

DragonMMC is modular, with 3 NAND module slots available. An adapter module for the OEM NAND is included. Extra NAND modules of 64GB and 256GB will be available on the web store. The modules are snap-in and do not require soldering. An MCU handles NAND module and MicroSD card detection, as well as safe switching. The slide switch can be moved at any time to change the desired NAND module and MicroSD card. A restart or power cycle of the console will be required to enact the changes. If the selected MicroSD slot or NAND module is empty, DragonMMC will look for the next populated slot and enable it instead.

DragonMMC will be based on the ESP32-PICO microcontroller. More info to come soon!

Is it possible you could include a feature which electrically disconnects the antennas for WiFi/Bluetooth/literally anything when not using the OEM NAND? That way they don’t even get power and can’t even talk to other consoles when there’s something suspicious on the NAND.

Also, a slightly less simple idea, a little bit of firmware which gets injected into the Switch and runs entirely from RAM and helps make clean dumps of the OEM nand, for updating firmware on dirty NANDs.

Just want to throw my name into the hat. I'd like to purchase one as soon as you are ready to provide them @MatinatorX

Thanks, I'm on both, excited for this project! Also Awesome seeing it coming out of Canada!

@MatinatorX unsure if you happen to be in the Vancouver area. But when you come closer to having them made, if you need to test on switches I have 2 and happy to buy the tech and bring you my switches to test on.

 

[MusicallyInspired]

Wonderful that you're here in Canada!

 

[MatinatorX]

Things are happening again! More news soon. (Unless @Adran_Marit beats me to it.)

so excited

This looks cool. I need one or two :o, thumbs up

 

[pcwizard7]

could the sx core/ sx core lite be integrated into the chip as aio solution? If it comes out?

There aren't currently any plans to support ipatched consoles, sorry, for more information and updates follow the discord

edit: fixed my tired brains derp

There aren't currently any plans to support non-ipatched consoles, sorry, for more information and updates follow the discord

This should probably say "there are currently no plans to support ipatched consoles".

fixed :sheepish:

So if I get this one, can I still use the normal NAND (upgraded to 256gb). Do you have any planned prices for the NAND boards you would sell? I hope it's close to the 256 gb NAND board.

HHNNNGGG!

from what i understand it plugs into the nand and sd card modules and u insert the nand chips on it. and yes each of them can only be up to 256GB each

 

[fvig2001]

Ugh, so I guess I can't use this with my Switches since they're all 256gb and I'm not tiny soldering guy. Well I might consider this for a 4th switch I guess... lol but I will probably be better of using the 3rd Switch for Linux/Lakka and a 4th for just Android

no i m saying you place your 256GB flash on this board then plug this board into flash module of the switch

 

[fvig2001]

Ah so there's a pass through option. I'll wait for the prices of the NANDs and the project itself. Hopefully they will still push through with the trinket portion.

the idea of this so you can have multi nands chips and sd cards in one console so u could have HOS, Android and Linux on their own flashchip. and you can swap between them at boot
