Installation was fine, soldering was good
I've removed the mod, tested it in another gc, works, returned it into this one, nope.
For some reason,my og gc that I got on launch doesn't want to be modded
Guess imma wait for flippydrive :)

Maybe its because your wiring to the BIOS is causing issues. I'd suggest getting the KunaiGC QSB for that matter.

What color is the "Please insert disk" text when you go into the BIOS disc screen?

Red means the BIOS is v1.0
Purple is v1.1 or v1.2 (can't remember exactly which one)

EDIT: Is this a DOL-101 without the serial port 2?

There's a warning on Stone Age Gamer's store page claiming it's not compatible with DOL-101 models and only compatible with DOL-001 with the serial port 2.

WARNING: Incompatible with DOL-101 model - you must have a DOL-001 that has the serial port 2 for this mod.​

Are the wires shortened as much as possible? IPL chips are picky with wire length. My picoboot install had the same issue as yours at first until I shortened the wires. People recommend 26-28 awg.

True, you're not wrong. The first time I ever did a PicoBoot mod was that I used 28AWG stranded wire for all of the points, turned it on and before you know it, the Pico fried. But not to worry, those things are cheap as chips.

That sounds more like it was wired wrong or there was a short, too long wires can affect the data signal and reduce available power, but it shouldn't be possible to fry the chip.

I've used the Cubeboot firmware, which allowed me to add a custom logo text and color. Apparently, somebody said that the diagram is the same as PicoBoot.

I load Cubeboot from the sd2sp2, since I didn't realize you could install it directly to the Pico (maybe this wasn't possible at the time)
Welp, too late to change it now unless I want to open the GC back up.

    Sweet Baby Rays is like baseline for a decent/good bbq sauce, but nothing outright incredible

    Stubbs is a pretty damn good sauce that I think you'll find on most grocery shelves as I don't think it's regional

    Best bbq sauce I've ever bought on a grocery store shelf
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    smokey flavor that reminds me of beef jerkey on top of a really rich kind of bbq sauce. Heat level that is a nice zing, not overwhelming, but it tingles all the way down your throat

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    We all should have free health, dental, vision care, and make the college kids pay for the schooling, f that college forgiveness plan our govt doing now, its really not fair for all others in the past that had to pay for they're schooling anyways (like me, with 2 kids I paid to send to college in the past)

    I think we should outlaw healthcare entirely because the fact that people can get healthcare today is unfair to those in the past that couldn't

  • cearp @ cearp:
    @Sicklyboy - the comparison would be forgiving all medical debt, not making healthcare illegal!
  • cearp @ cearp:
    Although I still don't agree, medical debt is rarely a choice, whereas enrolling in university is certainly a choice

    we need more smart cats tho for reals
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    College costs, college loans, book prices, the entire thing is predatory, oft touted as essential to a successful life for my generation and the ones since, and completely unaffordable without putting you through an insane financial hardship for literal decades in many situations.
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    Many of the same issues can be seen for the insanely predatory healthcare and health insurance system in the US

    It's important for society to be healthy and educated. If those things can't happen because all of the institutions that prop up those industries make it unattainable for all but a small portion of society, then your society is largely going to be disease ridden, dying, and uneducated in very short order.
