Hacking Hardware Nintendo switch picofly clone install

[jetuaime81]

I installed picofly clone from china on my switch v2 successfully. It was a rp2040-ns chip and the resistances were 47, 47, 47, 250 ohms.

The switch is running fine. I took emunand backup. I am able to boot into ofw and emummc. I played like 1 hour continuously with no issues. I have been using daily for almost 1 hour for the past 1 week.

Now I have a good deal to buy an oled and wanted to sell this. With all the information on the site, I am just confused if there is a time frame that I should use the switch to rule out issues or if there were issues it would have been evident on the first 4,5 boots.

I was hoping someone who does this as a business would have more idea.

I have used the attached chip.

My 2nd question is even though I have watched sthetix video multiple times, I still haven't got it right in my mind. Emummc is for nsps and 'semi-stock' is for genuine switch games online and eshop? Is there anything like clear cache or something to be done before I switch to semi stock and go online?

semi-stock is just OFW with nx/hekate bootloader boot up process, no AMS involved. So if you never did fishy stuff on sysmmc(xxx AMS|S), your semi-stock is clean and equals to OFW

I never booted into sysmmc.

What is the correct way to actually use a modded console as a regular console with nintendo access and no ban. Semistock or ofw?

use enable_dns_mitm and DNS host block all time from day1 using emuNand/emuMMC, plus dont do fishy stuff(or just never use sysmmc) on sysMMC, so that you could keep OFW clean for online and all rest stuff remain under the table/Big N network on emuMMC.

- Mitm and host block on emunand cfw for safe wifi.
- Boot to ofw from hekate for official nintendo games and nintendo online.
- And never use sysmmc or semistock for any purpose (unless there is a requirement to open these to fix some issues; for a working switch never access these).

3 things. Got it. Thanks a lot for the help.

FYI semi-stock simply just OFW, you can use it no problem

I saw a video by sthetix twice about the differences. But I wasn't able to figure out the difference between semi stock and ofw. And that's why I am here. I guess my technical sharpness is not good enough.
