Who here loves to solder? I've already done 2 mods for friends and a few custom paint jobs.

Which mods?

[–] solarknight 1 points 1 year ago

2 Picoboots and I'm waiting for the nesRGB to be back in stock at etim.net.au

I had a hard time trying to install my picoboot, but after a lot of deception, I think that my rasp pico is the problem. After few weeks of soldering/desoldering/resoldering, I decided to try flashing GP2040 ( https://github.com/FeralAI/GP2040 ) and the controller buttons just stopped responding after few minutes. Glad that you could install it for your friends. I just replaced a faulty capacitor on the disk board and my GC returned to read disks and I kept with the hacked memcard solution to load homebrews.

sorry you hd trouble! if you want to send pics i can try to help but if a hacked memcard works for you thats fine too. with the price of games these days it's hard not to hack your gc/wii lol

the hacked memcard works fine for me now that the drive is working fine :) Thanks
