#picofly — Public Fediverse posts

Prepared (read: copied files from zip) SD card last night for my daughter's yellow Switch Lite. Will attempt to mod it tonight. Only modded a og Switch once before and ended up going to a friend for help (turned out soldering was ok, but ribbon cable connector pin got bent). #switch #picofly

So, I've been fiddling with a #Batocera based emulation station for the kids, the last couple of weeks. It's really neat, all the classic roms you can think of, combined with quality gamepads from 8bitdo.

The Batocera is fully capable of running games for The Nintendo #Switch, with some minor tweaks.

I finally took it a bit further and acquired a used #Nintendo Switch Light for ≈€120, complete with the #Picofly #Jailbreak. Lot's of shady Java-tools involved for uploading #roms, but hey - so far, so good!

J'ai donc reçu une puce Picofly pour la Switch.
Il faut souder là où j'ai annoté, à un petit condensateur de la carte mère sans le bridge 😅 Pas si facile peut-être.

When we bought kid #2 a Switch (kid #1 already had one) I was sure it was still old enough to belong to the easily hackable ones.

A year or so ago, kid #1 elected to hack his so that he could install mods for some of the games. I explained that there was no guarantee he wouldn't get banned from online which he was fine with.

(That hasn't happened, but it has no network access in hacked mode so seems to work as intended)

Now kid #2 wanted his hacked too. After staring at some unsuccessful RCM payload uploads for a while I ... looked at the serial number and saw that it is of a newer revision after all.

Hacker dad has now ordered the components to build up a picofly. Why shouldn't the kids enjoy the fruits of voltage glitching when it's dad's favorite toy as well? :D

This is nice to find out. Once I can boot into Ubuntu I can do all my programming this way!

Started work on this last night. Nephew asked me to mod his OLED #switch. I said sure, but only at his risk :). First time doing a #picofly install, or working on something this small period. Hope I don't fuck it up. Not trying to win a beauty contest either.

Ok, given that I had the whole day for myself, a true rarity in these last years, I decided to also install a #modchip (#picofly) in my #nintendo #switch lite.
I normally use an old soft-moddable switch for homebrews and emulators, but this is much lighter and portable.

#Picofly: The $3 #Nintendo Switch hacking modchip is real, and it's now available

Until now, the only way to hack a Nintendo Switch (except for the early, unpatched V1 models) was through other, expensive hardware modchips: the (now out of production) SX chips by infamous team Xecuter, or their multiple clones known as #HWFly, which can today be found for about $70 (almost twice that about a year ago).
