    Getting generic micro SD cards to work with Picoboot?

    Hi all, Just wondering.. Does anyone know of any methods to get generic micro SD cards working with Picoboot? I have a stash of cards I picked up off Aliexpress that are all 64GB in storage. However none of them work with my modded GameCube. I've tried formatting them to both exFAT and Fat32...

    Hardware GCN Question about GameCube laser

    I'm a dumbass hahaha... For anyone who wants an update... The reason the drive wasn't working after I installed the Picoboot mod was because at the time of installing, I also bridged the R6 points to turn the console into a NTSC-U unit. The reason I was getting a disk read error was because I...

    PSP-1000 wont turn on. Power LED flashes for a split second.

    I totally understand this now.. But the point I'm trying to make is that I can physically see from looking at the shell that the PSP has clearly been dropped on the floor. The evidence points more towards it being a hardware related issue than a software issue. I'm not ruling out the whole...

    PSP-1000 wont turn on. Power LED flashes for a split second.

    Very interesting! I'm just waiting on a new shell and IPS screen to arrive in the mail. When it comes within the next few days I'l take it apart and take some readings on both the charge chip and fuse. I'll report back when I have more information. Thank you for the feedback/tips :)

    Yeah probably, still doesn't excuse his rude outburst on me. This could definitely be one of the reasons! However if the little chip that controls the charging is damaged.. Wouldn't it still power on if you were to insert a fully charged battery?

    PSP-1000 wont turn on. Power LED flashes for a split second.

    Well I did come across a video on YouTube about 30 minutes ago with someone showing their PSP having the exact same symptoms as mine. As I was reading through he comments a lot of people were pointing out that they solved the issue by replacing the fuse on the back of the main board. (this is...

    PSP-1000 wont turn on. Power LED flashes for a split second.

    I'm not sure I understand what you're suggesting. I know it's not a battery issue because I have 3 PSP batteries and they all work/charge in my other working PSPs.

    PSP-1000 wont turn on. Power LED flashes for a split second.

    I'm 99.9% sure my issue is nothing to do with Pandora Battery. I've seen videos of people having Pandora Battery brick issues and their symptoms are different to mine. I can tell from just look at the PSP that it's obviously been dropped, so I assume its damaged internally.

    Hi all, I brought a PSP-1000 super cheap from Japan. The shell is totally damaged and the UMD door is hanging off due to a chip on the bottom (it looks like the PSP was dropped). My plan was to buy it super cheap and restore it with a new shell and IPS display. However it doesn't appear to...

    Hardware GCN Question about GameCube laser

    Awesome! I just wanted to confirm that as the issue before I went out and purchased a replacement laser. I read other things about the drive possibly needing a recap etc. Another question. If I do go and purchase a new laser, what should I set the POT too, since it's currently sitting on 30ohms?

    Hardware GCN Question about GameCube laser

    Hi all, Yesterday I received a boxed Nintendo GameCube (DOL-101) console. My main goal here was to install a picoboot modchip inside, but before any of that I wanted to do some initial testing. I inserted a disc and it done the famous 'no spin' and straight to the dashboard. So I took it...

    GameCube not booting to default menu with Picoboot installed

    Hi all, I've been doing a heap of Picoboot installs for GameCube's lately, but they've all been on DOL-001 models using SD2SP2 adapters. Today I done my first install on a DOL-101 model and because there is no port for an SD2SP2 adapter, I've been forced to use a GC2SD adapter (which is fine)...

    Having trouble starting phat Xbox One

    Hi all, Today I was given an old phat Xbox One console. But I cant seem to get it booting into OS. I've never used an Xbox One before (I'm a Sony guy) so I'm not fully clued up about how the Xbox One operates. So when I first hooked it up, it took about 30 seconds to display anything on my TV...

    Best route for updating an already soft modded Wii on 4.1E

    Thanks so much for taking the time to type this out! I did edit my previous post but maybe you had already posted this before getting a chance to read it. I downloaded 4.1E via NUS Downloader and installed the .WAD with WiiMod Lite. After my Wii rebooted back into the system menu, I was then...

    Best route for updating an already soft modded Wii on 4.1E

    Alright cool, I'll leave it be. My final question.. is there a way to update my version of Priiloader? I'm currently running v0.6 which I think is from when I soft modded my Wii all those years ago. When I try to run the installer it just tells me to press A and throws me back to the HBC.

    Best route for updating an already soft modded Wii on 4.1E

    I fully get that. But I had already started this process before everyone started telling that updating to 4.3 is pointless. -- Its irking me out now that I've installed all the WADs and it didn't update the system menu. It's going to sit in the back of my mind that something didn't go as...
