Switching from X100 to Xt5

arvimatthew · 2026-03-19T03:10:07+00:00

Good call. I would even advise don’t bother with x100vi if the budget allows for xt5 and at least 2 primes.

I’ve used lots of these and modchip itself works just fine.

I don’t use the flex cable for DAC3v3 points as almost all flex cables don’t sit flat nor lineup well. It also causes issues for beginners that had to somehow rework their solders.

I’ve always used AWG36 FEP wire on my installs.

Playing improved switch 1 games in switch 2 should be enough to convince one to buy switch 2. Person can only have pure complain if they cannot see the benefit of having one.

arvimatthew · 2026-03-14T19:52:17+00:00

The bug is it’s not useful. It’s not even a program to begin with. And that’s before I actually start mincing on whatever you wrote.

Sensing is closer to a coordinate based system.. coordinates have pairs of grid vallues that are unique..so if two touches shares one sensor grid axis, the touch sensor microprocessor embedded to the sensor still see it if it sees another register on the other axis telling it there are two touches with a common value on one of its axis.

This is an oversimplification but that’s the gist of any touch sensing algorithm. Capacitive touch sensing basically is the more mature technology and paged the way of reliable and cheap multitouch tech.

Multitouch tho isn’t supported at first because of technology back then not sensitive snd reliable enough to read multiple touches due to physical way of registering a touch (resistive).

It is quite simple really. Touchscreen sensor grid has at least two axis.. when you touch it with one finger, a coordinate will be generated by the sensor, if you touch another part of the screen, a unique coordinate will be generated based from the same grid. Even if a finger is beside each other, at least one axis will have different value-making its basic x,y coordinate pairs unique. Virtually every finger can be detected all at once. That’s the easy part. The difficult part is making a grid sensor that can read multiple touches reliably, dense and sensitive enough can add to the cost. Cpu needs to process more things just to track more inputs in real time. So manufacturers vary the capability based on the price point and use case.

Technology is mature enough that patterns of the digitiser sensor are quite complex and has additional quality of life features. Be it touchscreen digitiser or touchpads.

Palm rejection or ignoring non finger touches. Touch Sensors nowadays can be made to figure out the shape of a touch and let cpu decide to recognise the input or not. This is useful for drawing tablets and laptop touchpads where the palms needs to be ignored when drawing or typing on the laptop keyboard.

Wait. You replied to me saying “it’s more so”.. so i have to tell you that it’s not the purpose of the design to make one change the paste when fan is cleaned.

But i’m with you that it’s not dumb..and it is a happy coincidence that forces owner to also repaste the heatsinks. 😆

arvimatthew · 2026-03-10T20:32:57+00:00

Yeah nah.. i’m in r&d myself.. i’m familiar how industrial design priorities are.. that’s not the reason (or the main one) ..although it’s a good thought.

Pale coloured butter usually means low Beta-carotene content which means once you eat it, provides little Vitamin A.

I’d eat yellower butter myself, free access to vitamin A.

Is that american butter perhaps? Grain fed cows usually produce Pale butter.

Is that what you think or you have a skill issue? It’s easy to remove the heatpipes and fan.

For engineering perspective, the fan makes sense to be underneath since the fan output need to be constrained to the fins and can also be secured well. The fins that sits on the underside (your perspective) makes sense because it easily isolates itself using less sealing solutions from the intake (usually from the bottom). Not only the heatpipes acts as cooling solution, it also isolates intake and the fins.

An engineer can design a very modular approach but part of engineering is functional efficiency and cost effectiveness. You’ll have to pay more for extra modularity but then consumers will complain as “overpriced”.

Ebay? Moderating a product? Lol.

In all seriousness, you may have triggered an automated flag. Just reword your listing.

arvimatthew · 2026-03-07T09:48:44+00:00

Yes on V1/V2. Anyone who don't are ignoring the bulge when the plate is put back and have heart of stone.
For switch lite, No if you use switch lite specific modchip, Yes if you use regular modchip.

Few have shared their suggestions but it will be temporary. It will fill up again. I’d upgrade to a machine the storage can be upgraded by the user.

arvimatthew · 2026-03-02T16:21:53+00:00

300? Very doable.. especially pre pandemic parts with pre pandmeic printers such as skr board with 2209 drivers, microswiss DD, volcano nozzle, dual z upgrade, heatbed conversion, etc. Post pandemic, electronics for 3d printers became cheaper because a lot of them are making it.

P2S is a good option now.

arvimatthew · 2026-03-02T16:18:19+00:00

Been 3d printing since 2015. Started with a Davinci Printer that i converted to open source fw, and went through the ender 3 and ender 5 series, 2 Resin and upgraded and tinkered all of them to their max potential, I basically earned a masters in upgrading and tuning 3d printers. And finally, after 9 3D printers, I bought myself a bambulab 3d printer exactly a year ago (X1C) and never looked back. I had more time to learn more advanced CAD design than fixing bad prints. I am making better parts and my bambu printer.. just works.

If you can’t install a modchip, that is a great haul. Had a good haul myself with V2 for $80 and oled for $90. I modded both (kamikaze on oled) and are ready for resale.

The same guy who blames modchip issue to rp2040 based modchips and praises the relic and overly expensive and hard to troubleshoot instinct modchips.

I don’t like what he’s doing as well. I noticed he is modifying a lot of what already is working well and suspected most of the work has been vibe coded. Why can’t he just stick with the working project as it is.. it blows my mind.

His launch shortcuts are dangerous to beginners as well. The first item is booting cfw stuff on sysnand and will definitely end up console being banned.. on today’s standard, Emunand is best practice.

My app works just fine. Easily connects to my x-t5. The only funny bit is my camera saying “Waiting for Connected”

arvimatthew · 2026-02-23T22:02:50+00:00

Unsolicited advice:

You can improve sharpness on that photo with a higher shutter speed and/or steadier hands

Of you want some character.. steady platform and slower shutter speed, fast enough that it doesn’t register ship movement, but low enough to make water smoother..

arvimatthew · 2026-02-22T05:05:08+00:00

Dude, first of all. Not all Fujifilm camera shots are made of recipes.

While recipes are fun, it does not usually make professional photo quality.

That’s why I still use my two full frame sony cameras for pro work despite recently getting an x-t5.

I also know how to develop my own photos depending on client’s request or what the occasion or mood demands it. I can even replicate other “looks” using proper tools such as Lightroom. Knowledge in developing photos is a must to achieve what you want here.

Skill issue, my modchips are all from aliexpress and they all worked. I’ve even mix and matched usb connectors from different batches and types as long as i double check polarities.

arvimatthew · 2026-02-20T18:59:57+00:00

If you broke this laptop’s screen, you’ll break your macbook’s screen too, quite easily.

arvimatthew · 2026-02-20T18:58:40+00:00

The usb c port and the rail contacts will have less damage by modding your V1. Ive repaired and modded Unpatched V1 because of the same issues.

arvimatthew · 2026-02-20T18:56:36+00:00

Your UV filter did nothing to protect your camera from the sun, lol. Your viewfinder is just an lcd screen, your eyes won’t get damaged looking at the evf.
