I just stack them

Just dropped a new guide for the backup workflow in SCCM Switch Toolbox,

a 100% free app for managing your modded Switch SD card.

Get the app: https://guides.socalconsolemodding.com/sccm-switch-toolbox/

What backup does: pick which partitions you want (HOS, EmuMMC, Linux,

Android), point it at a save location, and it packs the whole thing into

a single .sccmbak file. Restore later from the same app.

A few quick notes:

• Drive picker only shows removable disks, so no risk of grabbing your system drive
• HOS / Linux / Android are file-based, so the backup scales to actual data used
• Partition-based EmuMMC is a raw dump, so size matches the partition (58GB on a full OLED EmuMMC)
• Optional notes field carries through to the restore screen so you can label each backup

Full guide: https://guides.socalconsolemodding.com/how-to-back-up-your-sd-card-with-sccm-switch-toolbox/

Coming soon:

• Restore guide
• Format guide
• Hosted preset Linux and Android backups (skip the setup, restore and go)
• Polished Auto Setup function for first-time setup

Free, no paywall. Feedback welcome. This is an ongoing project and I plan on adding a ton more features. The goal is an All-In-One app for everything you need for Switch Homebrew.

Hello, I have bought a Picofly OLED modchip and I think I'm unable to flash it. When I drop the firmware the modchip ejects and reconnects. Is it normal behavior?

Does anyone know the exact specifications for this capacitor or whether it is the same component as the two capacitors located at Point A (the ones next to Dat0 Kamikaze) ?

I believe I may have damaged it, as it no longer makes a good connection, regardless of how much fresh flux or solder I apply. (Looks brown golden)

Thanks for the help! 🙏

Hi, i bought a used switch v2, i want to mod it with rp2040 chip; but im actually confused, is there a real brand better than others or they are all the same? Do they come ready to be soldered and mod the seitch via usb? I was going to buy these chips from aliexpress, any advice?

I installed a picofly in my switch lite. It showed no SD card so I put it all back together. I then proceeded to insert an SD card and then it hung on the Nintendo logo. Then it turned off and wouldn't turn back on. Once it turned back on the screen was pink. Let it sit for a while and back to no SD card. I opened it back up to reflow all my joints and now it seems to boot fine every time but the screen showed but had lines and was blurry. Now it just has a backlight and no display at all. Below are pics of the install. Any help is appreciated.

Because why not. LED isn't too strong either, so it's not too agressive on the eyes. You'll need a resistor too.

Hey all I modded a switch lite with no issues. All of the sudden battery started draining while completely switched off. Now it won’t turn on. Doing some testing I found this capacitor to be shorted. Will replacing the Max77812 chip solve my issue?

heyy ive been looking for tutorials but no one actually talks about how to get started, the person I bought it from isnt replying either so thats why im here

just to note that i dont care at all about the original switch mode i never play online

it was 150€ and has a 64gb card, it came set up and with 4 games installed. 2 mario games are on the switch's memory i havent played them yet and idk if its bad that theyre there?

when clicking on album it shows this. but i have no idea how to install anything and im scared to click in the wrong thing 😭 i have a laptop and a microsd adaptor but id rather just download games and apps directly from the switch if possible and also do i need to connect to wifi...?

id also like to emulate psp, vita, ds and 3ds. and to get the official nintendo online emulators too. i want themes too but thats not as important. and dumb question is there any way to stream/remote play/dock it so i can play on my tv

and also the battery lasts less than a hour and it takes A LOT to charge i have the original nintendo charger though. is there any way to fix that?

thanks i need help im literally clueless asf sorry

Is this the best way to install the flex and modchip? Any advice is welcome

Ok so I recently tried modding my switch with the rp2040 picofly modchip, and I accidentally burned the lite fpc flex cable a bit and I'm looking for a replacement because I don't think this works anymore, the 3,3 volt connector however seems to be Just fine. I also wasn't able to find any Sort of replacement Just for this cable and I Hope I didn't kill the motherboard or something

I've always worked with OLEDs, pulling Kynar cables one by one in the RP2040-Zero. Today I tried these 3-in-1 chips, and the installation is definitely much faster.
PS:

Thanks for the help guys
