Newb here could someone tell me what I'm doing wrong. I wired this up completely however my emulator won't read off the actual cartridge with the built in micro sd reader not the homemade modified one could someone help me with the wiring if it's wrong. I get white screen but no pi is emulating.

I have same problem and can't find a solution. But guys from sale thread adviced to make the wires shorter - about 8-9-10 cm.

Not mine, but it fixed the problem of @moese, see here: http://www.sudomod.com/forum/viewtopic. ... 060#p34364
I suppose, my cartridge slot has some bad connections, so now I'm waiting for new slots from HHL and AliExpress.

Hi,

Your wiring is correct when I checked it.

This topic might interest you:

First and obvious question: did it work in the first place with the sd in the RPZ? Because I dont see the data lines twisted (D+ D-) from the AIO board.
Second, check for any shorts? It is quite crowded around the pads and everybody can make a mistake will soldering.

My best guess would be some kind of short on the test pads. Trying cleaning them off or even remove all the solder and just get enough to fix the wires in place. Also try booting the the micro SD in the Pi's slot. If it boots, then there's something wrong with the wiring and/or reader. If it doesn't, you may want to flash a fresh image on the SD and try again.
