GameCube Picoboot & SD2SP2 Mod (DOL101)

Experimental - Will probably never be updated

• I don't know if the parts will be compatible with other motherboard models than mine
• The back cover needs some modifications to fit properly, which I haven't had time to do yet

(the traces on my motherboard are slightly different than those of the post)

- Cut the Shield https://imgur.com/O7PdSKa

- Put the wires on the 3D printed part (PICO.stl) (I use SuperGlue to keep them in place) https://imgur.com/urJhgEO

Install Pico on it

I put kapton under the support and under the pico https://imgur.com/5M3mzQf

- Place the 3D part on the motherboard (I use a wire to hold it in place) https://imgur.com/VsI7PrU

Solder wires to the motherboard

- Put the SD2SP2, the USB port and the Bootsel button on the 3D part (SD2SP2.stl)

(I removed the 8Pin connector from SD2SP2, drilled a hole in the center to fix it on the support and cut the USB-C port so that it does not touch the shield) https://imgur.com/WBiEMJu

I used this usb-c port I had from another project : https://fr.aliexpress.com/item/1005004642090483.html

This one should also be compatible : https://fr.aliexpress.com/item/1005004684736527.html

And the button from an old board
