I got to the point where I can boot up the wii with pms lite and relocated a temporary usb, temporary av port and mx chip and Bluetooth. Mx chip works, so I wanted to test Bluetooth. I soldered a port bought on aliexpress to 1 of the four pins for data gamecube as shown in the guide photos, 3,3 volt and gnd.
After booting everything no sign of gamecube controller (bought on aliexpress too) working. I then thought the controller was defective so I tried another one and nothing. I wired the 3 wires to the port as shown on a site that had a diagram of the connector.
I decided to trim one from the wii from wich I took the piece of the motherboard and soldered it, but either in this way, following this time the diagram of the port shown on bitbuilt but nothing again. I was thinking, could possibly be that i connected that first port somewhat backwards inverting 3,3 volt and gnd damaging both of the 2 controllers? I'm sure that now i'm trying with a port connected right but i'm not sure of the schematics of the other port. What could possibly be? Any answer or help is appreciated, if I forgot to mention something please tell me.
Here is also photos of one of the controllers not working if that could possibly be the problem.
