Hardware Homebrew If a mosfet is connected properly, but the CLK, RST, CMD or DAT0 aren’t, should the switch boot normally or not?

I am trying to install picofly on my switch lite and I’m trying to install the mosfet on the rear of the console, but I don’t have the resistors rn so I didn’t connect CLK, CMD and DAT0. Though, my Switch still boots normally when I power it on, while the RP2040 shows the error for the not connected cables. Is this normal or did I do something wrong in the install of the mosfet?

Are they a rare series of resistor or precision for them? If it is even vaguely normal just find the box of junk and pull from those. Also if you are ordering things then maybe get a few more than you need -- assuming this is not a I sneezed and it went shooting off somewhere scenario then assume you will be in the scenario so spend the few extra pennies most resistors go for (likely shipping is more).

I don't know the answer to the question and have my doubts if anybody would. This is the sort of thing you probably want to puzzle out by yourself -- what does the mosfet do, and do its inherent characteristics being the main two avenues.

What does it do being things like is there to pull something high or low. Inherent characteristics being it is not an ideal transistor so will inherently have some resistance. Does said resistance (gate to drain and source to drain to be considered) add too much draw for the baseline setup?

    @MysticStarlight, oh Yea I recall my PS3 can do that
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    Modded ofc
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    Speaking of my PS3 i havent downloaded any games yet bc my wifi is too slow
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    and also because blackouts here are very common and that could damage the console
  • MysticStarlight @ MysticStarlight:
    Do you have a surge protector or an UPS?
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Yea but to play the next gen games, you must have those games on internal, or buy the official ssd expansion cards, which are expensive
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @MysticStarlight, dunno what each one of those are
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @MysticStarlight, my PS3 was already modded when my dad bought it for me and my brother
  • MysticStarlight @ MysticStarlight:
    A surge protector is a device that protects your electronics from fluctuations. I recommend having your console plugged into one of those
  • MysticStarlight @ MysticStarlight:
    An UPS is even better because it has an internal battery that keeps your system on even if the power goes out, but it's much more expensive obviously
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @MysticStarlight, oh i recall seeing one in some in the houses of some relatives, including my dad's apartment
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @MysticStarlight, although whatever device we plug into them stops getting power anyways lol
  • MysticStarlight @ MysticStarlight:
    that's weird
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @MysticStarlight, and oh i was talking about ups
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    No not that one
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    Surge protectors are what i was talking about
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    Yea I got confused for a bit

    On the series s/x you can use a external HD but any next gen games must be on your internal ssd, or you can buy a ssd expansion card, but pricey. Any xbone, 360, or og Xbox games can be played from external tho.
