Have parts on order. Can't wait to dabble. Nkit'n isos in the meantime. Anyone know what the smallest micro sd is to fit USA set?
Got some new, larger wire in. 26awg solid core. Redid the install, kept the wires pretty freaking short, and it's working as intended! Excitement!No idea. My first foray into the GameCube scene. Don't know what to expect..
Redid some of the joints on the Pico... Testing out boot now. If that doesn't work, I guess I'm triple checking the mobo joints. I was worried I damaged a leg on the IPL chip.
Secretly hoping this is just something that may happen, and I don't have to tear my GameCube apart.
Edit: Will be reinstalling Still getting inconsistent boots. The light is green, but no image. If I take the SD2SP2, I can still boot using the Xeno and Swiss disc. Will try shortening the wires.
Edit: Never crossed my mind that it may be the wire I'm using. Need recommendations for some good wire to use on small boards like these.
hi, i'm italian...where can you buy pico at the right price ? thanks.
Yea no problem. I'll work on that tonight.@yo1dog I asked novenary for push access to redolution/iplboot repository. I want to take all the improvements from different forks and merge them in the main repository. Would you be interested in opening your pull request against https://github.com/redolution/iplboot?
That way I'd be able to provide your improvements with next PicoBoot update.
can anybody modify this method to use HDD (SSD), M2, or USB to load games faster??
I installed it, but it isn't working.
The normal IPL boots fine, but it's slow and the image is distorted and on black and white.
The controller doesn't get recognized on it anymore.
What could be the problem?
Sounds like coincidence. The SD Gecko is a passive adapter without any electronic functions. They are often flimsy and can break easily (just like a micro-SD to full sized SD adapter)I believe that is was a coincidence, but my SD gecko died few days after I installed the picoboot. I was using a ultra bootleg version made for wii, so it was not a high quality piece anyway, The gamecube is working fine with and without the picoboot, so it was really no big deal, I'm just telling that because if it is a recurrent problem you will know.
Additional info: I'm no soldering or electronics professional and I'm running long wires against the recommendation, so it may be a coincidence or even my own fault.
