I want to purchase a premade picofly since I heard it is better than hwfly core v6. Since making my own picofly is much harder to me I wanted to know if I should buy modchip that is availble on Instinct shop(one with red text) and has name picofly core on it or I should buy one that is available on blue hwfly store that sells hwfly v6 and called hwfly core rp2040. Which one of these two is most stable and are there any other recommendations for modchips

Core chip is for V1/V2 motherboard, Lite for Switch Lite, and OLED chip is for OLED, as for Instinct NX V6 that is for OLED.

I understand that but should I buy hwfly rp2040 or picofly core that sells on other "official" store and looks almost same as hwfly rp2040

Hwfly RP2040 are based off picofly they are the same on Aliexpress, just different way that they named it, the one on Aliexpress are all HWFlY RP2040. What switch you have?

I have v2 mariko one. So in the end it doesnt matter which one I buy since they are all based on hwfly rp2040? And are these hwfly rp2040 modchips reliable?

You going to need a core chip, but you are better off with hwfly v4 or v5 chip you would need v5 if you got toshiba emmc, as RP2040 has nand corruption problem.

Those are RP2040, depends on what model you got, if you got a v1/v2 unit you need a core chip, lite need lite chip and oled need oled chip.

On the website by Ali by this store, nothing to see about core but on the description it says NS model. Just that should be the core chip?

There is no "premade" Picofly. The one from the HWFly store is just an "Original" modchip that isn't a clone of SX Core.

No need to update the firmware on the chip if it work fine. If you can't solder hire someone to solder for you.

    Eventhough the New 3DS XL is more powerful, I still feel like the DS Lite was a more polished system. It's a real shame that it never got an XL variant keeping the GBA slot. You'd have to go on AliExpress and buy an ML shell to give a DS phat the unofficial "DS Lite" treatment, and that's the best we'll ever get I'm afraid.

    The phat model had amazingly loud speakers tho.

  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Jayro, I don't see whats so special about the DS ML, its just a DS lite in a phat shell. At least the phat model had louder speakers, whereas the lite has a much better screen.

    They probably said "Hey, why not we combine the two together and make a 'new' DS to sell".

    It's a DS Lite in a slightly bigger DS Lite shell.

    It's not a Nintendo / iQue official product, it's a 3rd party custom.

    Nothing special about it other than it's more comfortable than the Lite

    @SylverReZ if you could find a v5 DS ML you would have the best of both worlds since the v5 units had the same backlight brightness levels as the DS Lite unlockable with flashme

    A woman with no arms and no legs was sitting on a beach. A man comes along and the woman says, "I've never been hugged before." So the man feels bad and hugs her. She says "Well i've also never been kissed before." So he gives her a kiss on the cheek. She says "Well I've also never been fucked before." So the man picks her up, and throws her in the ocean and says "Now you're fucked."
