OK then. This just arrived in the post: IMG20240415094431.jpg IMG20240415094425.jpg The weird thing is, I didn't order it, and whilst I can pretty much guess what it is, since it fits my Evercade, I have no idea where it came from, or what files it will accept. Weird. I suppose I need to go and look...

As a few others have suggested, HDDRIVER or PPERAs driver allow for byteswapping so you can just move the SD cards between the ST and PC in order to transfer files. My interpretation of the question is that you want to move files to a disk that may not have HDDRIVER installed but ICD, and you don't ...

The Mac Portable regulated power supply unit is complete. I designed and printed a box for the electronics (everything hot glued) and it all tests good. IMG_3674.jpeg The built-in ammeter is useful as it shows when the system is charging the battery and when it reduces the CPU clock too. When suspe...

True.

Doesn't it need USB C to charge properly though? IIRC it takes 15v when charging.

Okey Dokey

@rubber_jonnie I think they had dropped it with the USB plug in and it landed right onto it. It did have the screws too but obviously that didn't help. I still have it and guess I should get round to putting a 5V power supply plug on it at some point :D True. Doesn't it need USB C to charge properl...

Also apparently the P13USB IC can also cause charging issues if dead, so I think I need to check for shorts round that too.

Wow, they'd need to be pretty rough with it to do that!!

At least on the Lite they have the USB port screwed to the chassis.

Yes, correct.

M92T36 removed: IMG20240412135713.jpg And the short, which was via the 4th cap up on the LHS of the IC, has now gone. Having watched The Coder do a lot of Switch repairs, I'm honestly not surprised, it seems that these can go if the USB C port gets damaged, as it was. Toothbrush for scale, I'm out o...
