Hardware Switch NAND upgrade

[Prime420]

A 128GB EMMC KLMDGAGEAC-B001 cost on Aliexpress.com only 33$ USD and a replacement board 16$ USD. I think 175$ for a reflowed 128GB is to expensive. But when you can sell it, just do it

I found on mouser.de a SDINBDA4-256G for 157€ without shipping. But i think its to expensive.

I had trouble getting emmcs myself and I’m in USA but not so anymore XD but 200 usd just for the ic itself is crazy, I charge $225 for an already reflowed 256GB emmc module and $175 for the 128GB.

You are expensive as fock.

I really haven’t herd complaints from locals about cost, but that’s with. 90 day warranty

@Onlyd

Where do you buy the 256GB EMMC?

So you can get 128 for 20$ and board for 10-20 bucks and your charging $175 :/.....
Just as wel people know you in your area as at that price there only ppl you could sell them to...

Largest I have seen is a 256GB emmc made by Samsung, KLMEG8UCTA-B041, but it seems hard to source unless you live in Shenzhen.

Strange Parts on YouTube lives in Shenzhen, maybe he can hook you up
He does this kind of thing with iPhones.

Is same as a nand lift on iPhone/iPad but easyer as it’s not glued, this is why I have my hardware

Taobao

Looks like that’s where I need to order my supply of themfrom then, been paying $ 61 from AliExpress for the new ics. I thought you had to be in China to use Taobao?

Nah, many Taobao sellers ship internationally. Only problem is the entire site is in Chinese and Google Translate sucks.

Did anyone found a 256GB EMMC which can ordered from europe? I found one on Aliexpress.com but ist will cost 200$ USD.

If you just need a bare emmc module let me know, I'm based in Shanghai and can you one shipped to you for around 140usd. Depending on where you are (postage)

If you can find some, sure. Otherwise go with https://www.superbuy.com

I'm amazed blahblah isn't in this thread saying what a pointless and useless mod this is, pointing out that a 256GB SD card is around $40 USD.

But I get that it's because ''you can''.

Exactly! Isn't that the point of GBAtemp and modding in general?

Pretty much. But now, you can install L.A. Noire without sd. And one can still argue that eMMC is faster and more reliable (although that's not worth the price).

price per GB? hell no, but i love the loading times on the bigger titles i like to play, like botw, and re revelations 2.

I heard that SD card clock was slowed down because there is a design flaw in the SD bus.

Is is possible for the issue with the SD bus to be resolved by a different design SD sub-board? If not, can the internal eMMC sub-board be replaced by a SD slot?

If someone didn't RE schematics and PCB for the eMMC sub-board, I plan to do that at a later time.

That 256GB Emmc is nice but that 256GB nand backup is hard to convince.

I assume this is you, ebay username Sylmods, what a freaking scalper.

That's why you make a backup BEFORE you install anything
