Hello, I'm currently building my portable Wii using the 4LAYER boards. I love the design and the idea of it but currently have a few issues in actually putting it together.
I can currently get the screen to work but it starts in AV2 and I have to change the channel over manually shorting the AUTO/SOURCE to VGA. (Effectively pressing it as a button would.) (Not game breaking, but I might as well share it here in case someone knows.)
But the main issue I am having is that the usb port from the PMS-PD (RevB) not connecting to the Wii, as you can see from the pictures supplied. Whenever I power it, the screen comes up with a Bootloader 01 error which I believe is due to a lack of power to the USB port. (I am getting somewhere between 0V9 and 1V, when I think USB needs 5V?)
Current troubleshooting I have tried is;
Using an alternative 5v power source,
Replace the UP wire from a 30 AWG to a 24AWG,
Twisting the data lines as tight as possible, with a drill,
Making the Data Lines a LOT shorter,
Also tried using the CM1 lines and the CM2 lines,
During each round of troubleshooting I have been swapping D+ and D- everytime too, just in case I have them the wrong way around.
I also have a test bench Wii for the USB, to make sure that there is no issues with the USB stick itself. I have been using this for testing the games and expected functionality that I will have, and this works perfectly fine with the USB I intend to be using with the portable.
I am unable to test the controller buttons or audio output until the USB works to boot the Wii properly, because pressing the A button during the bootloader error seems to have no effect. (However, I'm still not sure if that's a controller issue or also USB).
I'm just struggling with the last hurdle, so any and all help will be appreciated, thank you all for reading and I hope that you can help me get this project finished.
Thanks Owen.
