I have installed a hwfly rp2040 chip/ribbons on an oled version with skhynix emmc chip. When I push the power on the switch, it does not always power on the hwfly chip (no led). I have to push the reset button on hwfly to get it to power on. Anybody knows why this is the issue? I swapped the hwfly board with another one and I have the same issue.

Here are the diode values for my Switch OLED, board version HEG-CPU-01

3.3v point = 0.738
D = 0.638
A = 0.62
C = 0.478
B = .0L

I wonder which fw version you used on that chip. Mine was 2.74 and it gave me a heart attack after failing emmc and not booting in ofw (purple screen).

I tried the default firmware on the hwfly and also upgraded the firmware to 2.74, giving me the same result.

For the purple screen, it is most likely the resistor on CMD point is starting to fail.

I have exactly same issue like you have, also I bought mine with already installed chip, it works very inconsistently, almost always stucking on power on/reboot, only way is to either press and hold the power button to trigger another hard reset or press reset on modchip

Any luck with it? I'm having the same problem. I had someone installing it for me and it worked perfectly like for 2 months and now it just doesn't want to glitch. It gives me two yellow flashes on fw 2.75

When I switch over to the instinct chip, it doesn’t get stuck like in the hwfly chip. It still doesn’t boot into hekate all the times.

Still not yet. I might open the switch and resolder a few points. Just haven’t have time yet to try.

    I want a handheld gaming system with a tablet sized screen, like a 8 or10" screen, with controllers that can detach like the Switch.

    I don't see the buzz about a square screen personally. I think there will be a review on the site within a few weeks though if you are interested.

    I've put down the money on the Odin 2 Mini since I just love that Vita form factor. Loved the power of the Odin 2 but the size always put me off, this one seems exactly what I've been wanting.

    I don't care about the square screen it's just nice to hold something you don't have to stretch your arms a foots length
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    All these things expecting to be super huge is overrated just run a type c cable to your TV if you want a big display or in my case screen mirror it
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    On the go tho I meant, I use my 10" tablet and a Bluetooth controller for retro gaming while sitting on my porch or on long car rides sometimes. Easier on my eyes than the Switch screen.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    My point is we already have enough shit with big displays having something pocketable with up to ps2 would be fine on the go

    Ken unless the games are made for that screen size most suck on a screen that size... Having a square screen and being brighter and higher res helps but it's not a cure all, text is tiny bullets are tiny, your.... Well lol
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
