Has anyone tried this chip?

Has anyone tried this chip?

Looks similar to HWFLY.

Wow. This is like $64. I spent $120 on my HWFLY. Twice. And 2 OLED Switches. Because I jacked up my first attempt (the chip AND the Switch). This looks so much easier. Then again, I know what I'm doing now.

Interesting! It's apparently cheaper so that's a win in my book.

I absolutely recognise those there fingernails in the video

 

[SylverReZ]

Probably just a HWFLY clone.

 

[Phantomas77]

Probably just a redesigned PCB.

Question is: can it run community hwfly-nx FW?

It says don't mix with HWFLY firmware

Thks, just read the description.

Though I prefer to stick with something that I can flash with code from github

Installation is more or less the same.
And you can get a hwfly for about 60€ now on ali.

Not much to expect when he also have a picture on his youtube profile.

Careful with some of those "3rd party" (not blue/red "official hwfly") sellers, I got a V4 that works only with their FW, if I flash it with hwfly-nx, whatever version, I get a blinking green light and a black screen after training.

Got it from this store: https://a.aliexpress.com/_mNBJHqK

Can we get some of our GBAtemp magicians to inspect if there're differences in between these FWs?

Good to know, the white chip probably has the same problem.

reminds me the "new" cheaper x86 white pcbs desing

"The firmware is already compatible with Android and Linux by default", is it real?

I wish one day for a chip that doesn't need soldering
