    Join me for an install of the latest RP2040 into a Nintendo Switch V2.
    This is by far the easiest Switch to install the Picofly in.
    *I don't condone piracy* This Switch has been modded so the Tegra X1 can run at the original clock speeds Nvidia intended.
    Also by modding the console with the Picofly 2040, you are able to back up your NAND memory. As the eMMC and NAND is linked to the CPU, so should the NAND chip ever fail, your Switch V1/V2 doesn't become an expensive brick.
    This is advanced micro soldering, so copy at your own risk.

    Hey, whats the size of your soldering tip in mm? I want to see if my current soldering iron tip is small enough for the install.

    I'm gonna take a soldering training this week and then attempt this. Of course, since it's my first console, I understand that things can go wrong. Fingers crossed.

      How did it go?
      I was able to tackle a lite today. I watched about an hour of general soldering videos, an hour of lite picofly installation tutorials, and spent about 4 hours sacrificing old/broken Xbox controller boards to the soldering gods lol. But I got it done.
      Microscope would have been super useful, impossible to see the connections with the naked eye. Luckily my phone camera barely sufficed.
      I have no idea where to go from "No SD Card" though; finding good info on the software side of things is more of a task than learning how to solder imo.

      @@jayjayhooksch1 I did comment this, but I decided to postpone until summer break. I'm swamped with college stuff right now, so I don't have time to be watching all these videos and soldering. I promise I'll get to it in about 2 weeks though lolol
      I'm glad it went well for you! I'll definitely try sacrificing some of my older electronics. If you don't mind sharing, what kind of soldering gear did you use?

      @@nottsoserious I bought a 25$ kit off Amazon with solder, sponge stand and an 80w iron with a digital display. The solder was junk, wouldn't stick. I got some Rosin Core after.
      The wet sponge it came with sucked, I switched to one of the brass shavings type cleaner.
      Other than that, I got, some wick, some flux, a silicon mat, kapton tape and an activated carbon filter for my table-top air filter to act as a fume extractor. I strongly recommend some kind of fume extraction.
      When I do it again I'll get a 25$ usb microscope (could do it again with my phone but I'd recommend a microscope) and electrician's scissors for cutting the heat shield (flush cutters didn't work well).

      @@nottsoserious I should add that I felt the lack of quality in my iron, especially the tips, despite not having ever used a good quality one as a point of reference. The same will probably be true of the cheap microscope I plan to get, but I don't plan on using them more than once every couple years, so I don't mind.

    Great job, this looks very good. Quick question. What type of microscope are you using? I recently installed my first modchip without any microscope and it was a pain to do.

    • @QTronics
      @QTronics  Před 28 dny +1

      You installed one without a scope? Well done dude that’s hard, ive done some micro soldering using my phone and it’s not the easiest.

    @matthewshafer9545 Před měsícem +1

    Idk I honestly prefer the RAM soldering point on the Mariko models and the orange see through flex cable . They are smaller caps and closely grouped which can admittedly be hard without a microscope and a small tip on the iron but the finished product sits in the Switch like it was factory installed .

    • @QTronics
      @QTronics  Před měsícem

      I think I know what you mean. I have seen them.
      I did this one just to show people the easiest method.
      I’ll probably do one of those eventually as i’ve seen some new 3 in 1 mod chips that come with the ribbons for all models.

      @@QTronics that is the only version you can get a NAND backup which is as close as your going to get to failsafe if things go seriously sideways on ya . I think that might be the only 1 you could get a bigger emmc card for . And if we are talking easiest in terms of someone with very little experience in soldering, then you are right, that has fewer solder points and they aren't as small .

    • @QTronics
      @QTronics  Před měsícem

      Yeah I get you.
      I was talking about there being an orange flex cable for the V1/V2 where you can solder on to points on the board so you can leave the EMMC board where it is and not move it.
      In terms of emmc though, im going to be looking at trying to install a 256gb EMMC into a console at some point.

    Thx for the great tutorial.
    I have a red Mario Switch V2 model. I bought a RP2040 PicoFly V5 . Is it compatible with my Switch?

    • @QTronics
      @QTronics  Před 22 dny

      How do your ribbons differ to mine?
      There will be a v5 ( this is the version of the flex) version for the switch v1/v2.
      Does yours have the ribbon to connect the emmc?
      Im on discord as iYates if you want to send me a picture of the ribbon and i’ll tell you.

    U didn t connect the orange connector dara 0 in the back?

    • @QTronics
      @QTronics  Před měsícem +1

      Dat 0 on the back of the board is only for OLED.
      The V2 and V1 boards have emmc chips that can be removed. So the emmc chip connects directly to the picofly board. That’s what makes this the easiest one to do.

    • @matthewshafer9545
      @matthewshafer9545 Před měsícem +1

      Doesnt have to on this model because the emmc chip is removed from the Device and mounted in the RP2040 housing .

      @QTronics  Před 11 dny

      I meant the Chip, the picofly runs through a list of timing to be able to inject the payload. When it finds the right one for your console it stores the setting on the SD card. So future boots are faster
