Okay, i soldered the emmc back to mainboard. Boot0 and Boot1 flashed with success. Picofly seems to glitch with success. Current draw looks good too. Next step is to wait for new screen connector, because i broke mine. Is there a way to atleast check if the switch actually boots into hekate without screen?
as mentioned i soldered the new emmc with fresh boot0 and boot1 back to switch. after that i managed to push the lockpick_rcm payload to get the prod.keys file. So in theroy i could boot into hekate and write to the emmc. Picofly wouldnt work if emmc is not correctly installed i assume.

Attach your joycon's and let it boot.
Your boot joycon should rumble a little bit then you are in Hekate.

To clarify some things, you don't need a written emmc.
Boot0 can be completely empty.
Picofly write the necessary payload to your empty emmc and can boot up to hekate.

Yeah, i know i need an emmc programmer for my later projects, but is an emmc programmer necessary if im able to write to the emmc with hekate? I dont think so, correct me if im wrong.

Saved a screenshot of lockpick_rcm.
I don't know what you're trying to achieve but your keys you're grabbing from another console are utterly useless. They are only good if your raw dump is good because then you could grab the prodinfo and use as donor.

My Goal here is to get the oled at least run cfw. i got a backup from donor with raw dump and keys.
Current status:
Emmc replaced
Boot0 and Boot1 generated with emmchaccgen flashed to emmc
Obtained prod.keys from dead switch

Im currently following this guide here: Nand Rebuilding

im still waiting for my screen connector, so i can actually see whats going on.

I am in the same situation... but I have kept the NAND backup before it dies...
I have changed the NAND, I have that same rp2040 chip but it gives an error (=** eMMC init failure during glitch process)
So is there any way to boot HEKATE with a clean EMMC chip with rp2040? (is there any rp2040 firmware that can do this?)
This is the chip I have.. (I have read that you can program the chip with FT232H Board? is it possible on OLED?)

Check your install I did a memory upgrade last week on 2 OLED and I doesn't have any problem to boot to an empty emmc with picofly.

    @BigOnYa well, starting with, idk which emulator should i use for switch, i got a gtx 1650, do you know which one would it better for my pc?
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    The switch emulators on pc rely on your CPU mostly, and they only use a single core, so GPU not as important as a good CPU. I don't use switch emulator, but many here do, and willing to help.
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    @K3Nv2 do you want to chime in, don't you use yuzu or ryujinx? Which do you prefer?

    @Morganna I'd say try them both, and see which work better for your setup, good luck, and have fun!
