Hacking Hardware Picofly - a HWFLY switch modchip

[RiotRetroGaming]

Looking at the video, if it's the blue cable that's used to make it longer then it looks like it's the CMD line.

Ok thanks, I will test after work later and get back to you.

Where I can buy this HWFLY mosfet for pico? And last question will rp2040 one will be compatible with this mod? I founded service where they can mod my switch lite with this picofly chip

Wow ok, extended CMD double length, it flashed green once, booted, but did not get my SD booted. It booted to OFW.
Never went green again, just pulsing blue for ages.

I'm going to lengthen the RST line now...

I saw mutiple creators (at least 3) on Bilibili are doing the custome rp2040 board. It's coming my friends.

it should be. You can but the straight mosfet, however I recommend getting the hwfly cpu flex cable and soldering to the middle two pins of that

yes, people here are working on it as well

Not on here there isn't. there used to be a service like that here on the temp, but that got shut down.

i asked some people on ebay and they all said no

I know there are people in certain groups that would do it, but I'm not sure if they would offer services

Local in my Country. I decided to use rp2040 zero
I need rp2040 zero, HWFLY flex cable. And resistors Yes?

Hi everyone. So as a real enthusiast, I've decided to use raspberry pico instead of rpzero, and same transistor as irs8342. However, after launch, it just goes to rcm mode, while noticable by tegrarcm, but there is no image on switch, and Hekate doesn't start

No go, going to have to put this XAJ aside and await the eMMC results for the Toshiba side?

I doubled up the 3.3v and GND wires just in case (using 0.10mm jumper cable) and double lengthened all wires now.

Going to make a start on an XKJ, then OLED.

correct, make sure you have the flex cable suitable for your console (lite for lite etc) and at least 3, 47 OHM smd resistors, size 0805 or smaller.

i only need to buy picofly, flex cable and resistors for switch lite. Everything else they do for me in computer servece. I pay for this 70 euro. Is acceptable price for working lite unit with this new modchip. I may spar two switch physical games.

Lot of respects for you guys. Huge work here, congrats.
Can someone please give me the values of those resistor, red, blue, green, and those two mosfets in yellow ?View attachment 360567


Also do you know with which software can we open leaked HWFly leaks schematics/ board files ? I tried Eagle/Kicad they are not working. Altium works but layout of pcb seems broken (see where the mosfet emplacement should be in white):

Hello, I need help before sending it to a technician. gonna summarize what i learned. please correct me if im wrong.

gonna install picofly

PRE-install:
-reformat 256gb card to Fat32
-put HATS pack by sthetix on clean formatted FAT32 sd card (PC +card reader)
-flash pico with 2.5+ unlock.uf (the 4mb size one) by Vittorio
-desolder buttons and USB C in pico
-flex cable solder ONLY THE 2 MIDDLE or 3RD AND FOURTH pins

INSTALLATION: (since no proper video of picofly)-gonna follow stehthix MOD kit installation while refering to the picture and modsvilleusa picofly video

POST-install:
-if all goes properly, i should immediately boot to hekate and access atmosphere right?

Follow up Question....

I should boot to HEKATE IPL no sd card right
-then once i insert the sdcard with HATS pack, is it should already be ready?
-what is the difference between SYSMMC( SYSNAND?) vs EMUMMC( EMUNAND?) either i should play in CFW emummc right?

 

[RiotRetroGaming]

Haha, this is nuts.
Just did an XKJ, white LED for 3 seconds... now just pulsing blue forever, then white LED for 3 seconds, pulsing blue again??? XD

I am putting the fw2.5+unlock firmware on them both, only for them to dissapear once done on the PC, right?

I have RP2040-Zeros here, I'm sure it's nothing I'm doing????

Added a few photos........

Hey this has probably been asked before but what’s the rule on selling a switch with the modchip I will not provide any piracy nor list any shops that allow you to pirate games for homebrew use only I would like to comply with the firmware maker so I was just wondering

If you don't want any legal problem sell them without tinfoil installed or any pirated game.

You can sell here, but in our trading section. You probably don't have access to it yet.
Also if you gonna sell it, keep it factory clean. Just keep the modchip on and whom ever buys it need to figure it out themselves.
