Hacking Hardware Picofly - a HWFLY switch modchip

[elsparko]

Been following this thread (lurking) since the beginning. I don't have any of the skills to do any of what all of you have mangaged here, but just wanted to say a massive kudos to you all. Its been amazing to see the work and collaboration you have all put in to pull this off. Defintely a community, in every sense of the word, that other consoles could wish to have!

[rehius]

Can I just ask will we be able to update to 2.6 with hekate and picofly_tb or will usb be needed?

Apparently the board is too thick to fit easily.

Gracias a todos y a todo su arduo trabajo. Hay algunos memes internos en el video, así que pasa por alto algunas cosas. ¡Ahora puedo jugar raid shadow legends en mi OLED!

The fix is already planned for the v2.6 along with other few things found. However there is a software workaround - you would need to swap the sdloader to another one using hwfly-toolbox. The latest one from hwfly-nx repo should be fine.

Thanks for sharing, that means I can use the middle big D pin and the medium sized S? I see many S and D pins and I'm not sure if I can use any of them. It would be much easier to solder for me.
