Hacking INSTINCT-NX Chip

[Phantomas77]

It's not for Oled like instict-nx was (is?) and rp2040 here is a "bit" overpriced (but it has removable USB connector, that's good).

This is the funniest part though, it looks "official" AF.

I've installed one of this modchip and now the batt le el is always 0%...

It's a new oled switch and it was working fine (I assume that).

Hekate lets me make the emu but I can't launch atmosphere...


Any ideas

The seller is only distributing these new chips to the people who already bought from him.

To put perspective into the situation, there is a variant black version of this modchip that presumes fixes the pad issues.
There is also rp2040 which is cheaper.

I thought RP2040 was readily available no?

No it is different than what is available. This one comes as a kit much like hwfly.

What does the kit include that is different from what we have for free? I noticed all the mod chips are like 20$ now. Not sure if something new is coming.

Nothing is for free my dude, you still have to pay for the stuff.

As for how much this is going for ? It's around $10 for the whole package. I think this is where going with DIY makes absolute no sense since there's more effort involved for installation.

Nothing new, they just redesigned RP2040 for this purpose and copied the FW. Maybe some flex will be included for connecting to the DATA lines, but I prefer wires.

Will be sticking to the RP2040-zero (readily available everywhere), or the McFly version when it comes out.

This is RP2040 for those wondering

hi mate I think we spoke about snes repros many years ago.

Issue here appears to have to do with i2c comms between various chips. inspect real thoroughly for solder leftovers near all ic's. I'll post a diagram for points to check/measure.

Battery fuel guage chip.

Whether its a clone or not doesn't matter, its nearly half the price of V6, and from the looks of it more robust.

 

[doom95]

looks quite dumb to me: stupid tegra flex routing, modchip has no mosfet to disconnect switch 3v3 when usb power is present, and the boot/reset tactile buttons are pointless

 

[Hassal]

I think the CPU flex ribbon is alright, far better than that straight one that adds unnecessary tension on the connections.

I'm not sure if I'm allowed to share links but I'll send it to you.

I have a v3 OLED CPU ribbon installed already. Can it be used with the Instinct chip or will it be necessary to install the new one?

They are not compatible. They do not use the same pin order.
