for troubleshooting take the (B) wire off your switchless board and solder it to the shield.
it should boot US games than.

Bump!  Still have 100+ of these

By the way, I'd like to point out that when the instructions say use 26 gauge wire, don't use 24 just because that's all Radio Shack had. I had to get Beemer to fix mine... I messed up a trace probably because the 24g is hard to work with in that tiny area.

I'm going to keep an eye out for a cheap Core Grafx or white PCE so I can try it again sometime.

PMed you two about some mods and a hopefully future raffle item.

I have used some crazy thin wire in the past without any trouble at all. Then again those were all on 8pdt region mods and not ones that require any 5V power to be tapped. I can't remember what gauge it was exactly but I sometimes use old IDE cables for PCs that only have one strand of wire in each instead of multiple ones.  It is very thin and I actually prefer this cause then it is easier to solder the wire straight through the holes on the motherboard instead of trying to solder the wire to a bent metal pin.

[phipscube]

Well, I can confidently say my GT works flawlessly with the thin power wires. The only problem I have is when my Eneloop batts start to run down if I don't turn off the system before the screen goes completely white then it seems to crash and the gfx corrupt. But thats a known issue with the mod installed. So once I notice the screen starting to brighten, I switch off...... (Off topic, but MAN those eneloops last nearly TWICE as long as regular Alkalines!!!!)

congrats phips

keith the reason the #30 wire was an issue, is it breaks easily, and doesnt solder as well as #26 multistrand

[Keith Courage]

Oh okay, I thought the problem was that it wasn't large enough of a gauge for the current to flow. I gotcha now
