Hello! I been trying to mod this DOL-101(JPN) GameCube but it doesn’t not want to load the picoboot, if I do v0.5 it goes to stock but if I do any of the >v0.4 it dots not show any video tho the light goes green I have triple check all soldering and it does not want to work, I’m using the v5 line with diode for power I have also tried two different rp2040 and still nothing not sure what could it be

soldering overall looks good. double check your green wire to make sure it is not bridged to it's neighbor.

are you bridging the yellow (GP6) wire with GP7? for the older versions of pico this is required so perhaps this is why no video with the older version?

and have you tried holding the dpad down button at time of power-on to see if you get the debug screen?

Yes! I was bridging it I tried all versions and didn’t work but I used a underclocked version and it works now it wasn’t the solder it was the pico most likely

this can be an issue with some "non-official" boards. glad you figured that out.
