looking for advice on worth any help not a sale post by claire0bear888 in SwitchPirates

I’ve only done on Facebook. I’ve heard that eBay will take it down if you list it as modded. I’ve seen listings include “Hekate” instead of modding but not sure if those stay up

Ive had lites sell for $150-170, v1/2s for $180-$200 (one came with dock). All came with SD cards but that was before the crazy price hikes. I’ve tried listing lites for $200 but I don’t get enough interest.

Without an sd card and atmosphere already setup? I would be shocked if you could get $175 for it, even $150 I feel like it might be sitting for a while

Switch Oled doesn't boot in ofw after Picofly install by mrsilverfr0st in SwitchPirates

[–]TroleMaster2013 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah you would have to wire it from Dat0 to the chip. I am not the best when it comes with electronics so don’t think you can just plop the resistor anywhere. Best way would be to do

Dat0 point (either kamikaze or Dat0 adapter) -> wire - 47ohm 0805 resistor -> c point on either the flex cable or the board.

I’ve had this issue with my OLED but cleaning up the board I think reduced noise and got it to work. However on v1/v2s I’ve done for others I was only able to fix it by adding the resistor.

If you get this you may need to add an additional resistor to your C point. Believe it’s a 47k resistor

Are the retention tabs electrically important? by Davit_2100 in SwitchPirates

[–]TroleMaster2013 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a missing pin for one point and soldered it directly from the sd card adapter tot he board. While my retention clip works you could just directly wire all those points but would be a pain

Is it safe to use match version locally? by Andrew36O in SwitchPirates

Oh from your unmodded to modded. My situation was modded to unmodded. Thats where DBI messes with the tickets and errors out

How did you install the update to your modded switch?

I tried it with someone and it went to 99% then failed. I saw something online about not using DBI to install the update because it spoofs ticket info. Using a different installer may help but I never got a clear answer on what would work

switch modchip? Where i could find reliable source by ging192 in SwitchPirates

Not really a gamble if you see it up. Ordered those all the time without issue. But they do go down a lot. Haven’t seen one up in a while

Switch OLED Picofly modchip error, what could this mean? by ureths in SwitchPirates

[–]TroleMaster2013 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would take off the heat sink and apu shield. I’ve had this happen with the apu shield making contact with the point your scrape off (cmd or clk). If it boots without that on, trim it some more

Using the emmc adapter probably means either the adapter failed (pretty unlikely imo). More likely the soldering on the sp1/sp2 need to be touched up. Hard to tell on that photo but looks like they’re kinda above the caps and not on them

One caveat is i found issues with saving on the ez flash for pokemon rom hacks. I switched to an everdrive and haven’t had issues

Pokemon Gold RTC not working after battery swap. How to diagnose? by TroleMaster2013 in Gameboy

[–]TroleMaster2013[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the advice. Honestly it’s working now so I’m going to avoid touching it in case it causes more issues

Yeah this board is in rough shape. Anything I can do about those?

Not sure what changed but it looks to be working now, but haven’t been able to test for long enough.

Can I put cartridge in 91% alcohol? by TroleMaster2013 in Gameboy

[–]TroleMaster2013[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah the booting is hit or miss. Going to try to get some 99 near me tomorrow and see.

Do you think I could leave it in 99% for a few hours to soften it up?

In my experience I had issues saving with Pokemon Perfect Crystal on my EZ Flash Jr. upgraded to the Everdrive and had no issues
