instinct nx or hwfly picofly rp 2040

[Jowi]

During 3 days I've been gathering information about all the different modchips for nintendo switch in the market. I own a nintendo switch lite which i am willing to modchip. I've seen that there are various alternatives such as instinct nx (v6,v6s) and hwfly Picofly RP2040.

1. instinct nx v6 was made by the original hwfly group but its first batch with black PCB has some QC issues and also causes chipcrash and needs a reset when boot0/boot1 is updated on OFW updates. Software-wise is fully compatible with hwfly-nx firmware.

2. hwfly Picofly RP2040 uses its own firmware (open source) but may have issues with hynix/toshiba emmcs.

I would like to know how accurate the information i gathered is and what are your recommendations for long term use also if i have missed any pros or cons let me know.

If you dont mind can you explain yourself why would you choose instinct v6 and not v6s over hwfly?

Rp2040 also have the problem of corrupting nand, go for the v6s if you can find it.

forget about both and go for RP2040 Zero. 100ohm resistor on Dat0 and CMD, 47 Ohm on CLK and you will get a "bullet proof" hardmod. Made more than 100 installations and never had any trouble to solve.
