You did a good job and have some really nice equipment.

Thank you. I'm a tinkerer! It was electronics and PCs 20 odd years ago. I decided to make a living with electrics instead and typically deal with cables the size of my leg! (shame I couldn't see the future)

Then again, I also like taking cars, engines and gearboxes apart..... Sometimes I even put them back together!

Wish you all the best with the install service mate :yaypsp:

Heads up tinfoil autodetect if you have a Mariko switch and tinfoil it now auto detects SXCORE and removes incognito option

Starts with UF and ends with YP
same
mine is now showing tracking on 17track
funny thing is the 1st entry ,it says..
"Jamaica , electronic shipping info received"
does TX have warehouse in Jamaica or something
like actual irie irie , bumbaclot Jamaica ,lord ave mercy
or is it Jamaica china or something

EDIT: a quick Google search for : "Jamaica China"
didn't yield results for a city named Jamaica in China but it did however return several results for Jamaica being the 10th Caribbean nation to sign on to the belt and road initiative
so now i am wondering if there is indeed a warehouse in actual Jamaica
i hope so cause i think that would probably mean much faster shipping to me here on the East coast

This is it exactly. Your modchip is in Jamaica, NY. There is a shipper there that handles mail between China and USPS called Pitney Bowes. I posted about them a few pages back. They are a big bottleneck unfortunately.
well that sounds even better
much closer than China or even jamaica
very close to me since i am in Boston
i just hope it is really there and that the entry doesn't mean that it is on it's way there from China, if it is in Jamaica NY then i should receive it pretty quickly i would think since i am not that far away

I have the chip now. I'd seen the photos and I had read the descriptions of how small it is. I'm still blown away by how small it actually is. This shit is gonna be scary.

Gonna keep practising on the DDR3 for a few days till I feel like I have my game face on.

Hi. I requested modchip installer to install sx core in my patched switch but after install the modchip, it is not boot Sx os but only ofw..
The installer don’t understand why it didn’t work. He said there’s no problem with soldering and I read some trustable reviews about his skills before contact him.
Does anyone have same problem with me?
Should I contact other installers or Just forget about modchip?

SX Core and Lite boot directly to TX Boot menu when installed correctly. Is yours booting into TX Boot Menu?

  • TwoSpikedHands @ 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 @ 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 @ 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 @ 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 @ 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 @ 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
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I appreciate the insight!
  • The Real Jdbye @ 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 @ 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
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    why the shit does the shitbox randomly insert newlines in my messages
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It does that when I edit a post.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It inserts a newline in a random spot.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    never had that i don't think
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    do y'all think having an sd card that has a write speed of 700kb/s is a bad idea?
    trying to restore emunand rn but it's taking ages... (also when I finished the first time hekate decided to delete all my fucking files :wacko:)
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @Karma177 that sd card is 100% faulty so yes, its a bad idea
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    even the slowest non-sdhc sd cards are a few MB/s
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    @The Real Jdbye it hasn't given me any error trying to write things on it so I don't really think it's faulty (pasted 40/50gb+ folders and no write errors)
  • DinohScene @ DinohScene:
    run h2testw on it

  • DinohScene @ DinohScene:
    when SD cards/microSD write speeds drop below a meg a sec, they're usually on the verge of dying

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Samsung SD format can sometimes fix them too
  • Purple_Heart @ Purple_Heart:
    yes looks like an faulty sd
  • Purple_Heart @ Purple_Heart:
    @Psionic Roshambo i may try that with my dead sd cards

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    It's always worth a shot
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    @The Real Jdbye, I considered that, but i'll have to wait until i can get the eu version in the mail lol
