This is a psyop.

No. That red wire is soldered to one of the pins of a Micro SD card.

By the way that's not a Micro SD Card. It's a flex cable it's soldered to.

Ah, now I can tell because it doesn't have the corner at the end of it. Yes I did say that before, probably because I wasn't looking hard enough.

Not sure when the dev will release the source code for it, but I think it won't take long before someone makes a specialized board with cpu ribbon connector and thinner pcb. As long as it can drive down modchip price, I'm happy.

Yeah we can

@eseldiem: hahaaaa maybe im wrong ((

Thank you guys, looks very shady. BTW after my request the seller send me this 'pinout scheme',

Apparently this isn't sketchy but this "pikofly" actually exists. Did you buy this modchip in the end?

Seller sold it out already to someone else, I am sorry.

has anyone actually seen one outside of the grainy YouTube video that flashes a screen for 1/2 a second? I ordered a pico pi just in case…

 

[SylverReZ]

This thread is very much dead, I think it's best to just wait until we see something come out (hopefully).

 

[wsqgba]

definitely yes

***waiting intensifies***


TFW AliExpress deliverers before you do…

I have bought this RP2040 chip, waiting for firmware now.

Been lurking for a while but I saw someone else where post the RP2040-one. It's the RP2040 with the USB port removed so its slimmer. It should pop up if you look it up on AliExpress. I just wanted to share

While you need the usb port to program the RP2040 then you remove the usb port just like the trinket mod for unpatched switch

So if/when the exploit is released and the Gerber Files are released for the probably required CPU/Nand Cables, is it just GGs to Nintendo and the Modchip Makers? Their Courses of action would be reduced to taking down program/gerber files, which are obviously gonna get uploaded to hell anyways.

It's an RP2040-zero, so obviously Nintendo can't do anything about that (I'd love to see them try lol). They would have to try to takedown the firmware but considering they can't stop the spread of game roms I don't think they stand a chance.

Salve dove trovo il firmware per programmare il pikofly? Grazie a tutti

English only forum. Sorry

 

[zNexus]

Are there any news?

No nothing new as far as I know

Can you give us some more details about your local craigslist listing?

How much was the seller asking for the pikofly? What price?
Does he have a copy of the firmware files? Can you ask him if he is going to release the firmware?
