I recently modded my N3DS XL from a 4-pin JST to a 6-pin MicroJST,All DAT lines except DAT3 is being used, I also notice slow read speeds of about 2.1Mbp/s I should be getting 5.5Mbp/s, Im using a Transcend TS-RDP8K

I've checked for any touching wires but none, I get the default Bootrom error 200, each wire is coloured coded for, Black(GND), Red(CLK), Yellow(CMD), Green(DAT0), Blue(DAT1), White(DAT2)

Is your makeshift SD missing the lock switch?
If its missing, it won't push the contacts together in the SD reader and enable writing...

Also, your pictures are broken... use a different host... like imgur.

And I also think that you either use ALL DATs, or only DAT0, don't skip DAT3.

And, as above, if the small piece is missing, it's the same as being READ only. Put some tape around the FrankenSD to ilude it.

Its soldered directly to the sd card port with a switch to toggle the write, I have fixed this by soldering to the MicroSD port , requires a dud MicroSD to be inserted

    @SylverReZ, atleast wiimmfii went fine although people only use it for Mario kart Wii
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    At least if they ban you for cheating, get another Wii. They're cheap as chips.

    Remember when RiiShop was a thing?
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    not really
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    It got shutdown because somebody "accidentally" leaked the database for the amount of people using the beta.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    RiiShop is the laziest way of downloading Wii games. Did somebody not think of this through?
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    although i ended up accidentally changing my nand with no way of going back bc i didn't know you needed a gamecube controller to restore it (i have a wii minus/1.1, which doesn't have gamecube controller support)
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @BakerMan, I think you're talking about the recovery mode that the SaveMii used, and also was to restore softbricked systems.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    If your NAND was hardbricked, then just buy another Wii. Or go with the dirty NAND flasher method.
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    and if i find the sd card i have my NAND backed up on, i can not only restore the NAND if i solder the right part in, but i can also put my NAND on dolphin, then i can play dolphin online, like PMEX Remix or MKWii Riibalanced
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    Brb
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @BakerMan, Oh yeah, that was a thing too. Dolphin does support Wiimmfi.
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    yeah you just need to put your NAND backup with wiimmfi on it
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    ngl i feel like if a bunch of my friends have wiis and know how to get wiimmfi and back up their NAND, then we could do a PMEX Remix tournament
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    maybe even add UMVC3/DBFZ and make it a biathlon/triathlon
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Too bad Excite Truck wasn't multi player :(
