Ok. We need to establish exactly what straps you have connected.

Do this...
Make sure joycons are connected to the switch.
Boot into normal firmware
Then press the reset button on your Switchme. Tell me what happens...

If you see a joycon disconnected symbol, you have one strap connected.

If you see joycon disconnected symbol AND volume goes up, both straps are connected. Can you find out please?

Ok. That leaves you with dual boot only.

So, where are we at? Have you dragged a version 1 or version 2 uf2 over? Makes no difference which in your case.

--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------

this is in my info file

UF2 Bootloader 04f58a7 SFHWRO
Model: Trinket M0
Board-ID: SAMD21E18A-Trinket-v0
You are holding down volume while turning the power on yes? Can you dual boot?
@Gismor

So if you try any other UF2, what happens?

Remember you will never have autoCFW boot without autoRCM as your volume_ strap is missing

I think there has been a colossal misunderstanding.

All you will EVER be able to do is dual boot.

You do not have vol+ strap connected.

Only solution for permanent boot into CFW is autoRCM.

Oh right. I'm sorry I'm getting mixed up. My brain failing. I thought we were enabling owner CFw boot.

Sorry :(

OK... If someone wants to try this...

https://github.com/mattytrog/Basic-Modchip-UF2/blob/master/UF2/Trinket_Rebug.UF2?raw=true

This is my new "basic UF2" for people who want no pissing around.

Other boards updated tomorrow pending feedback. Trinket & Rebug only at the minute. Source on my git.

With this UF2:
  • Your Trinket / Rebug will look for "payload.bin" OR "start.bin" in SD root and launch automagically.
  • 0 folder not needed
  • nx files not needed
  • No folders will be made
  • If "payload.bin" or "start.bin" is not found, Hekate 4.5 will launch.
  • This is meant for people who don`t want to be pissing around with folders / nx files / etc etc
i test it right now !
[EDIT] Working great, as usual ;)

Drag and flash works perfectly with the UF2 files from the official R4S site.
About software interfering with flashing, I am running on Linux, but that shouldn't be interfering with anything. Specially considering I can flash the official files without a problem.
But for the sake of thoroughness, I am going to do a cold boot into a kernel with virtualization opts off and try again.

--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------

Sorry for the double-post, but the result from the cold boot is the same. Drag, flash, blinking red led.

Same here. But when I tried Trinket_Rebug version, it worked perfectly.

@mattytrog i have tried now many files.

and this file: https://github.com/mattytrog/Ninten...g_Pack/trinket_rebug_0_folder_chainloader.UF2

works on my switch perfect.
is it possible to make on the base of one of these UF2 file a a new UF2 file with these features
  • Your Trinket / Rebug will look for "payload.bin" OR "start.bin" in SD root and launch automagically.
  • 0 folder not needed
  • nx files not needed
  • No folders will be made
  • If "payload.bin" or "start.bin" is not found, Hekate 4.5 will launch.

Ok. What exactly is happening when you drop the UF2 on switchboot?

when i drop this file
https://github.com/mattytrog/Basic-Modchip-UF2/blob/master/UF2/Trinket_Rebug.UF2?raw=true
on my switch do my switch only booting in OFW.
i hold power button and volume (+) and boot in OFW and NOT in CFW

Are you doing this?

1) start your switch normally into OFW
2) double press reset to get into bootloader mode
3) Flash this first... https://github.com/mattytrog/Ninten..._Pack/Version_1_trinket_rebug_joycon_only.uf2
4) power off your switch
5) power on again into OFW
6) flash this... https://github.com/mattytrog/Basic-Modchip-UF2/blob/master/UF2/Trinket_Rebug.UF2?raw=true
7) power off and attempt to boot into CFW
8) follow these steps to the letter. Let me know.

I'm thinking your chip is fitted the old method 3 way. Just as a quick test, try this UF2...

https://github.com/mattytrog/All-In..._Cross_Atlas44/4A98_Trinket_Legacy3_mode2.UF2

If it doesn't work, try this one... https://github.com/mattytrog/All-In...tytrog_Method3/4A98_Trinket_method3_mode2.UF2

    Not sure about other models of Pi4 but the Pi 4 B with 8GBs OCed to 2Ghz handles PSP really great except like 1 game I found and it is playable it just looks bad lol Motor Storm Arctic something or other.

  • Veho @ Veho:
    I mean yeah sure but the specs are the same as a $50 model, it's just those pesky "quality of life" things driving up the price, like an actually working speaker, or buttons that don't melt, and stuff like that.

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I think all in my Pi 4 was well north of 200 bucks 150ish for the Pi 4 the case the fancy cooler, then like 70 for the 500GB MicroSD then like 70 for the Xbox controller. But honestly it's a nice set up I really enjoy and to me was worth every penny. (even bought more controllers for 2 or 4 player games.) hmmm have never played any 2 player games yet :(
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Yeah that's what I hate about the RPi, it's supposedly $30 or something but it takes an additional $200 of accessories to actually turn it into a working something.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    yes that's the expensive part lol
  • Veho @ Veho:
    I mean sure it's flexible and stuff but so is uremum but it's fiddly.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Yeah a lot of it I consider a hobby, using Batocera I am constantly adjusting the collection adding and removing stuff, scraping the artwork. Haven't even started on some music for the theme... Also way down the road I am considering attempting to do a WiiFlow knock off lol
  • Veho @ Veho:
    I want everything served on a plate plz ktnx, "work" is too much work for me.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Hmm, with that in mind, maybe a complete out-the-box solution with all the games collected, pacthed and optimized for me would be worth $150 :unsure:
