Hacking Others New glitch chip in development - the FreeRunner

[Kurori]

I always find it fascinating seeing hardware like this being developed, and props for liking my favorite show!

damn, any github or anywhere were orders will be taken?

The project will be published to his GitHub page. I don't know if people might be taking group buys for this modchip, either you can make one, or wait until one suddenly appears for sale.

I will be making a few units for resale very soon, getting things finalized for release

Also have you decided if you want to implenr s-rgh yet?

It's not that I don't want to, it's just that the hardware itself is not capable of fitting the S-RGH logic within it. Modern CPLDs lack many of the features the older ones had, making it a bit trickier to retrofit the logic into them. It will have MUFAS support though

I'm thinking more for slims that kill the pll point was all

I made an update last year that improves RGH3 on phats using southbridge overclocking. So no reason to go for FPGA solution. Even rp2040/rp2350 is a better choice for glitch.

Here is yesterday's rewrite with additional checks against video configuration related freezes, so you could try & compare

Are those changes pushed to the RGH3 git repo?

Nope, I got a Jasper, made code stable for it, but testers said it still wasn't perfect on other jaspers

So I just quit

The additional checks covered cases when console hangs in the boot process on various stages, I added timeouts for all of them, but to make it really good I needed many problematic consoles for tests at once, and I don't have time for that

The firmware for the CPLD as well as the updater tool is already on there. In the description, you will find the pinouts. I would just wait for the gerber files to be released, or for Armin to begin selling his boards in limited batches, because not everyone has the skills or patience to write up a schematic and do a board from scratch in PCB software.
