Who has a 2nd switch?

[hippy dave]

I got dbi a very basic software imo

But what does mtp mean?

It looks basic but it's packed with powerful features, is rock solid reliable (and as above, very fast) and regularly updated. More important than pretty pixels.

2 one hacked & one not both OLED ...

I got the wise idea to notch the pcb to make room for the Trinket M0 wires to go to cleanly go to the back side. Multilayer boards apparently don’t like when you do that and will let the smoke out of multiple components.

I’ve since bought a ”D - condition“ board from eBay and am wrapping up the swap out…hopefully tonight but realistically this weekend.

Ahh yeah, that'll do it . On my first trinket mod, I was installing the optional vol+ strap and damaged the tiny resistor. The system still worked, but I couldn't turn the volume up nor could I enter RCM manually lol. It was a PITA to fix, but a good learning experience. Good luck!

That is precisely the component that I was trying to avoid redoing by using the back-side alt points. That sucker is TINY!

I have two switch consoles. One is my main unit (obviously) and the other one lies in the cardbox and catches dust. But i don't want to sell it because it is a launch unit and still on 1.0.0. And both have a trinket m0 installed. The oled model looks interesting. But not worth to buy imho. Having an oled panel instead of lcd is nice, but not a must have. The lcd panel doesn't need to hide (picture quality) either and is sufficient for my needs.

So im close to buying my second switch…….

Im considering to get a 128gb card this time (my first modded switch has 256gb)

Still deciding on that and im thinking i might only install games that i will actually
Play rather than just installing absolutely every game i can download lol

Wouldnt it be cool that once my second switch is modded that there was an app within homebrew that let you somehow copy games from one modded console to the other? Thatd be pretty cool u know……

Thats good to know

Do u think it’d be better to bulk install with DBI rather than tin woo?

Unrelated but Oh btw why is the homebrew app to download files/apps/tools directly on the switch itself so bloody poor

On the wii u almost every thing worked
St away on the switch im finding myself having to use my pc to download then transfer

Yeah DBI works the best for me easily.
I haven't had problems with the app store thing tbh.

Nearly every single app ive download straight via homebrew on the switch has barely worked

Plus im not even sure you could download DBI or tin woo installer directly?

Makes me wonder why such important tools like that are non existent directly via homebrew

I don't know why stuff hasn't worked for you tbh.

I guess the reason DBI isn't on the homebrew store is because it's closed source. The store instituted a policy of not allowing closed source apps because of a certain other title installer that had all kinds of hostile code and was written by a shithead bigot.

I've modded about 20 OLED consoles by now and I've never seen anything like this before. All consoles I worked on boot within 5 seconds. I do notice a small difference between models with hynix emmc and samsung emmc, where hynix emmc model takes about 2-3 seconds longer to glitch and that's about it.

Maybe you are unlucky and got one with a hard to glitch SoC, I've seen people posting here talking about hard to glitch korean oled systems. Or your modder just did a shitty job.

By the way I got this sorted out. The issue is the timeout value currently used in hwfly's firmware doesn't work for certain NAND manufacturers. I've been using this patch for a few days and it has been working almost perfectly. If you do anymore Hynix Switches I'd try using a version of the hwfly-nx firmware with that patch added in. https://github.com/hwfly-nx/firmware/pull/3

I actually tried upping the timeout to 150 to see if I could get it working perfectly every time but it made failed glitches more frequent for me oddly. I have a suspicion as to why but I don't have time to investigate it. I'm still not quite as happy with it as my Mariko but I'd say it's good enough to use for homebrew development now, as opposed to what it was like with the stock firmware.

Madness. Almost worth swapping the chip out.

I’m running an experiment to see if a swapped emmc gets you banned. I swapped out a big emmc with a copy of my original and am logging into the eshop every day and playing Splatoon 3 to see if I attract any lightening bolts.
