First time installing #picofly to my Nintendo Switch lite!
Those small capacitors on the CPU were a pain to solder to but it worked👍
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!
