MQMods 🔜Somio Noctem + tidal waves

@CardosiCustoms Not using a microscope made this 10x harder than it had to be :p

I've come such a long way with my soldering. Mod-chipping an OLED Switch is not for the faint of heart, it is by far the hardest procedure I have ever performed in my career as a soldering technician. Picture 1 showcases the size of the components I'm working with here using the head of a Q-tip for reference, in the photo there are two capacitors, each needing to be soldered on both sides. Picture 2 showcases what is called the Kamikaze method. Why is it called that? It's because if you mess it up, your entire console is toast. This is an alternative, more reliable, and way more risky method to tap into Dat0 (this is located on the front of the board), it connects directly to the EMMC chip located on the back of the main board. Picture 3 showcases the other flex I had to solder to the board, you can see point C, that is Dat0 that I tapped into using the Kamikaze method. This part is a breeze aside from point D, which requires scraping a via in order to access it. The via in question is roughly the same diameter as the graphite in a mechanical pencil. Picture 4 mainly is meant to showcase B2, which is another via that is roughly the same diameter as the graphite in a mechanical pencil. This is the access point for that line on the front of the board. List of tools I used: - Pinecil w/ a chisel tip set to 360°C - HAKKO FX-600D w/ a fat chisel tip set to 360°C (for shield desoldering) - some generic iron holder - Brass tip cleaner - MG Chemicals 8341 No Clean Flux - MG Chemicals 60Sn/40Pb thin gauge solder - iFixit angled forceps - UV solder mask & USB-C rechargeable UV Flashlight - 0.1mm enameled magnet wire - Northridge Fix Grinding Pen V2 - homemade tri-wing screwdriver - iFixit bit-driver w/ PH000 bit - HAKKO flush cutters - KNOKOO fume extractor w/ foot pedal activation - 99% isopropyl alcohol in an acetone dispenser bottle - Q-tips (I find these leave less lent behind vs off-brand cotton swabs) - Arctic Silver thermal paste - fine and dense bristle toothbrush (to clean old thermal paste out of the nooks and crannies on the CPU) - Weller jumbo silicone mat - articulating LED lighting No microscope, no magnifying glass.

@torre_vz Replied! Thank you I am interested

@MQMods more advanced CSS styling. I think it would be dope to help each other out 🫡

Looking for feedback on my website, it's very WIP aesthetically but the idea is there. Wondering if it's intuitive and better than a Google form and standard drop down menu controller builders. mods.mq

So a phob is a motherboard replacement for the gamecube controller that is community designed. The main difference is it uses hall effect sensors instead of potentiometers for stick inputs. It also has other features such as built in snapback reduction, stick calibration . . .

Pad players looking to upgrade their controller? PS5 players can get hall effect, TMR, or OEM stick replacements and Tactile face buttons. For Xbox players I got Hall Effect sticks.

Also thanks a lot to @MQMods for my controller check 😊

Otw to goml, be there around 12. Come by if you want a repair or mods. Got a bunch of prebuilds phobs and OEMs too. Late cuz I 🤮 my guts out this morning but I'm good now.

@Atheen_Art We should normalize no more mentions of birthdays. Wish I never knew mine or anyone's

Can we normalize saying it's our birthday vs hiding it and crying that no one wished us a hbd :)))

Gonna be at the local tonight! Mainly doing repairs and mods. Got some controllers as well. Be there around 7:30

@Sparkmelee @Kadano DMed

@Kadano If any modders would like to buy a bunch, DM me for bulk rates :)

You may have seen these used by Melee's best at recent events. This has been my baby for the past 3 years, and today it's finally public. Injection molded ABS shells, of OEM quality level. Modeled directly after @Kadano's firefox notches, for only $35. This is the Sparkplate.

@NickSF_SSB @LycanZone shoot me a dm @LycanZone
