Wow. This is like $64. I spent $120 on my HWFLY. Twice. And 2 OLED Switches. Because I jacked up my first attempt (the chip AND the Switch). This looks so much easier. Then again, I know what I'm doing now.

Installation is more or less the same.
And you can get a hwfly for about 60€ now on ali.

Careful with some of those "3rd party" (not blue/red "official hwfly") sellers, I got a V4 that works only with their FW, if I flash it with hwfly-nx, whatever version, I get a blinking green light and a black screen after training.

Got it from this store: https://a.aliexpress.com/_mNBJHqK

It looks like a HWFLY clone

Can we get some of our GBAtemp magicians to inspect if there're differences in between these FWs?

Good to know, the white chip probably has the same problem.

  • Jayro @ Jayro:
    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".
  • Veho @ Veho:
    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
