Random question but why not hook up data + and - to the pads on the switch then hook up the reset to vol - and the power button so you could flash it after taking off the usb
Actually you need a way to reset the chip to enter uf2 mode, that is how it is on Trinket M0 that also use UF2.
Because the switch also generates a usb signal. Hooking it up like this will likely cause intereference and make the usb port useless while the switch is in use. Maybe you could also hook up the 5V from USB, there is als a testpad for that. Then you could flash the Pico while the Switch is off. I would hook up some buttons that will not be pressed at the same time while the console is in use. Otherwise is may cause some unexpected problems.
tried a different sd card?

I forget what points there called but the 2 top right ones hook one to vol minus and the other to the power button on the ribbon cable

Rcm mode maybe

It seems to boot with the firmware with the timing fixed
If anyone has any good installation videos across various models lite/v2/oled and good oled diagrams, would you mind linking them for me to add to the AIO Thread
I'm sorry to bother you again. I'm currently working on soldering a MOSFET, but the capacitor on the mounting point came off. Is it not recommended to directly connect a wire to the pattern in this case? Do I need to buy a new capacitor?
will check all the values a bit later, here you can take the required caps for the CPU
You can leave the capacitor off and connect the leads without it. The CPU will probably still work as these capacitors are usually redundant to improve reliability. Do not just put any capacitor there without knowing the required value. The CPU will not be damaged by leaving the capacitor off.
Don’t really know a lot about modchips myself, I’ve got a local guy who probably modded more than 200 switches so far, talked with him about the picofly for a bit. Seems like a knowledgeable guy, talked about all the other stuff that I don’t understand about circutry (he works with other consoles too). He told me that it is still unkown if this is a safe choice in long run and that it was a bit more risky than the regular HWFLY chip installations. But he told me that he could install it in my v2 if I really wanted to (never installed it, my console will be his first experience with picofly). What y’all think, should I trust him with the picofly and let him install it or should I pay 100€ (chip and installation included) for the HWFLY (same guy, but for sure he is pretty darn good with hwfly, cheapest dude who mods switches too)? Is it worth taking that risk for 80 euros?
YESSSSSSSSSSSS!! <3
GOOD WORK ALL, Flashed the new fixed timing Toshiba firmware.
The XAJ glitched in a couple of seconds that did not work before!
Amazing & ecstatic! :0D
Time for some Emulation and Homebrew pr0n!!

Anyone knows an fix to this:
My switch oled with hwfly v5.3 has this error purple breathing to green static (only Pressed Power Button) purple breathing to green breathing (Pressed Power and +) without sd card i get into hekate (without sd Mode)
Anyone knows this Issue?

I don't think you are supposed to bridge these pads. You are only supposed to use one of them each. Look at the instruction photos.
I get blue then pink flash and ofw but cmd/clk is fine?

Reset the chip - short the 2 pins near usb port

You can bridge them they are on the same trace - bridging them also helps securing them better

TwoSpikedHands:
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:
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:
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:
@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:
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:
@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:
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:
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

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:
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 -
