Just did this today with some resistor legs and omg it's definitely made the whole NAND process so much quicker and easier than trying to solder the end of some stripped wires, I don't think I can ever do it without using this method from now on!

Lovely little mod to do!

I did something similar to this on my first ever rgh about a week or so ago (Thanks for the great tutorial on that one btw - worked like a dream :) ). I was having trouble with soldering the tiny wires to the points. So I used some jumper wire from an Arudino kit I had laying around with the pins on and snipped the other ends to solder direct to my Pico Flasher. Made it so much easier as I was getting bad NAND reads all the time. Its amazing how much a little extra of a lead/point can do to help.

Best little trick!

Massive thanks for this guide. I kept seeing the huge needles you had for the NAND programmers and always wondered where you bought them from! I will use this trick in my wires :D

Thanks for the video man, I was wondering what they were all these years. I bought jumper cables thinking they would be similar, definitely not with the (gauge), sowing needles are way thinner, great video and explanation as always!

I always save the legs of through hole components as I never know when I might need something like that and I've used legs like that to bridge jumper pads that are a bit too far apart to jump using only solder. Plus they are fairly stiff.

Good tip!

i also use the end of the resistors, because i don´t have enouth needles, but works great

That's fine, I had to buy sewing needles when I did this years ago lol

Good tip.

Yeah I can't get the yellow ground wire to stay no matter what I try. I got my wire set with legs from weekend modder. I am stuck. I have tried heating solder point at 300c but solder will not keep contact long enough to stay and make a good connection.

Too low of a temperature. I personally solder at 700F

Hi Mario, I've been researching this for quite a long time now and after I made some silicone wires I thought that next step would be reverse clip style connector. It is similar to EEPROM test clip, but reverse, instead of inward it would have outward pressure. Imagine how much easier programming would become

Can I write 4GB NAND with Picoflasher. My friend told me that it’s only possible on XFlasher 360. Which dupont wires (?AWG) should I use with the Picoflasher.

@MrMario2011

Жыл бұрын

xFlasher 360 will have the best compatibility. Wire gauge doesn't really matter with the Dupont wires since you will just be soldering the connectors.

Hi Mario, i have used the same cable which you showed in the amazon page for 4gb corona and it didnt worked.. please suggest which cable i need to use for the pico as i have not got any wire with raspberry pico ?? Please suggest the nand wire which is good for 4gb corona?

The wire isn't the issue, but some 4GB Corona consoles aren't compatible with PicoFlasher.

I didn't have a problem soldering on the programmer wires, I actually did that first, the resistor wires on the back were far far worse. And super hard to hit, I actually gave up but I plan on taking a crack at it again soon

Thanks for sharing, but not sure how? Soldering one solid piece of metal onto a pad in my experience is easier than soldering on stranded wire to the same pad.

@fatalisticend

Жыл бұрын

If you tin the wire first is it really still stranded? Little bit of Flux and a fresh dab of solder on the pad also make a world of difference. Not knocking the idea in the video, it's a good idea especially for someone that's new to soldering but I wouldn't say it's neccessary either.

I would make a socket so I won't solder all the time.

@MrMario2011

That's a nice setup if you're only focused on one system, although socketing with every single console would be tedious since you would need a socket/pinheader setup installed in each one.

What is this mod for?

When do you think you'll reach the point where all of this stuff just becomes pointless, i mean it WILL happen eventually theres no doubts there, you've been doing modded 360 related stuff for years now.

Depends how pessimistic you are? You can argue that all video game related hardware and software is pointless, especially older stuff. Realistically? Probably totally pointless in a few decades when it seems like the existing community/interest is so small that there's pretty much no interest there.
