Hi all, I’m trying to install a new picofly RP2040 into my oled switch as the one that was originally installed by someone else ended up failing however when booting the switch I get blue Long green short green indicating a DAT0 error however my DAT0 solder adapter reads in the range of .500~.850 (I think it’s .753 if I remember correctly) still getting this error though any suggestions?

what resistors did you use on the picofly? A lot of people had to double up the 47ohm, or use a 100ohm, on both dat0 and CMD. Then again, if you just went and did that first, then maybe you want to try the 47ohm route...

I don’t have any that im aware of im just using what was included I have one of those PCB ones but I’ll look into grabbing the 47ohm resistor see if that helps

yea, the exact model is needed. If you bought an instinct v6s, for instance, that is NOT a picofly, and doesn't require resistors. If it IS a picofly, did you read through the .pdf picofly install guide from this page?

Here is a clip of the error code (incase Im reading it wrong as i've done before)

update before i go to bed can confirm diode of .516, tried soldering direct to chip no long same error considering order nonclone chip to try

It's likely not a resistor issue with that chip, but I have no experience with that chip. Does it accept firmware from https://github.com/Ansem-SoD/Picofly/tree/main/Firmwares ? It's not something that's listed in the readme, but I'm going to jump the gun and assume that there's no way a real instinct chip firmware is going to work right on that thing. Your DAT0 looks as solid as it can be.

Did it come with firmware update instructions? Where do you download the firmware from?

EDIT: WAtch this video starting around 16:30, then see if maybe you have the same issue with grounding:

I’ve had luck with these on the v1/2 and LITEs but never the oled and I’ve always used the firmware from your provided link. I’ll definitely check out the video you included though see if that would help. But I did end up ordering an instinct off Ali Express last night might as well throw a real one onto at this point.

Thank you for your help with this issue

I was wondering if you have any updates with the Instinct installed. I have the same exact problem although it does work occasionally but sometimes fails. I can't order the instincts directly to Germany so i'd have to use an expensive reship service to geth them here. I'd get 5-10 chips st once to make it worth the cost, but i'd need to know if these fixed your problem.

It come down to your soldering if your doesn't glitch 100% of the time. I have a instinct NX it glitch 100% of the time.

When it doesn't glitch i get the dat0 error. The ribbon cant move a bit, it's a new v6 one and i have resoldered again today, hope that improves it. And i hope we can soon get instincts in Germany, the 50% premium over the picoflys are well worth it imo of they work better. I am using a cheap knockoff picofly btw.

    yall im torn... ive been hacking away at tales of phantasia GBA (the USA version) and have so many documents of reverse engineering i've done
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I just found out that the EU version is better in literally every way, better sound quality, better lighting, and there's even a patch someone made to make the text look nicer
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    Do I restart now using what i've learned on the EU version since it's a better overall experience? or do I continue with the US version since that is what ive been using, and if someone decides to play my hack, it would most likely be that version?
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    @TwoSpikedHands, I'll preface this with the fact that I know nothing about the game, but, I think it depends on what your goals are. Are you trying to make a definitive version of the game? You may want to refocus your efforts on the EU version then. Or, are you trying to make a better US version? In which case, the only way to make a better US version is to keep on plugging away at that one ;)
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    I'm not familiar with the technicalities of the differences between the two versions, but I'm wondering if at least some of those differences are things that you could port over to the US version in your patch without having to include copyrighted assets from the EU version
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    @Sicklyboy I am wanting to fully change the game and bend it to my will lol. I would like to eventually have the ability to add more characters, enemies, even have a completely different story if i wanted. I already have the ability to change the tilemaps in the US version, so I can basically make my own map and warp to it in game - so I'm pretty far into it!
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I really would like to make a hack that I would enjoy playing, and maybe other people would too. swapping to the EU version would also mean my US friends could not legally play it
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I am definitely considering porting over some of the EU features without using the actual ROM itself, tbh that would probably be the best way to go about it... but i'm sad that the voice acting is so.... not good on the US version. May not be a way around that though
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I appreciate the insight!
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @TwoSpikedHands just switch, all the knowledge you learned still applies and most of the code and assets should be the same anyway
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    and realistically they wouldn't

    be able to play it legally anyway since they need a ROM and they probably don't have the means to dump it themselves

    why the shit does the shitbox randomly insert newlines in my messages
