Dude, I've been wondering for years why some PS2 I have had that animation not working, searched a lot on google and never found out why. Thanks to your post, I can finally sleep tonight.

Ok it looks like doing the wiring from scratch solved the problem, thanks for all the support and I hope to see you when I show my first finished portable!

Ok, luckily the HB channel thing is not my fault. What do you mean you use a drill? The drive is formatted like recommended and the 5v line seems stable

Also the homebrew channel is upside down

Might it be the port being trash? In this pic it's missing the ground as I disconnected some things to do a better wiring

Do you think I should open a new post to talk about my software problem? Or am I stuck until I buy the recommended drive? I'm pretty sure that won't fix this issue

Yep they are twisted. And they are tight. Do the wires need to be thick? Assuming the problem is the OS, would some exception information be useful for the troubleshooting? Do you think there is a way to reinstall it without messing it up even more?

Ok thanks, apparently I was using the correct one. I'll try some other drives but it seems to freeze every time, even if for a few seconds it goes fine. Do the usb wires need to be short? Mine are like 15-20 cm

As soon as I can I will buy the recommended drive. I noticed that in the portablizemii troubleshooting guide it says to use the USB nearest to the motherboard, but does it mean the lower one or the one with the solder pads nearest? If I connect the lower one it doesn't recognise it.

Is it safe to reinstall portablizemii?

Ok thanks, I was hoping that it could be the bluetooth. Also now every time PortablizeMii boots it freezes or brigs up an exception. EDIT: I managed to get in the system menu and sync the wiimote. I'm almost done, just need to fix the portablizemii exceptions. They are different and random...

While I was uploading the USB wiring images the Wii booted fine for the first time! Seems like adding a ground wire to the ground pad near the LDO seemes to have done the trick. Thanks for the help guys! One last thing how can I wire the Wiimote sync button? Nevermind it was in the bluetooth...

Yes I twisted them, I'm using a 3.0 SD card reader that always worked fine as my main USB drive died yesterday. I don't know if I have other good quality drives. Also sometimes I get an exception that brings me to the hb menu upside down and then freezes again.

Ok so I wired USB and after a lot of attempts I can get a PortablizeMii boot logo but it freezes instantly.

Shorting the reset line brings me to PriiLoader. Now I know the regs are fine, thanks. What should I do now?
