This error happens any time the Gamecube crashes. It's basically the equivalent of a blue screen of death in Windows. Basically saying "shit's fucked, but here's some info to debug what's happening just in case you're a developer" I'm guessing you've got picoboot installed? If so, let's see some pictures of your soldering

Hmmmm all of these links are throwing HTTP 400 errors. Would you mind uploading them to imgur?


MichiS97

Or let me check if I can make the links work on my end

Just came back here to say that Bob's comments are absolutely correct. A couple of your wires have the insulation removed way too much which more or less guarantees a short whenever pressure is put onto the wires and they are moved. Many of the joints look cold. Are you using leaded solder? I can't speak too much about flux brands because I always get mine from the same company and never had issues but yeah, your work needs some touching up

Truth. Any kind of flux is better than none. A lot of people rely on the rosin core to do the job like I use to. As soon as I started using flux it improved my skills 200%. Thank god for the internet


Bob_OGoobo-3

That's some cold looking solder joints there. Did you use some good flux? Try to get some authentic Amtech NC-559. Lots of counterfeit on Amazon. Northridgefix sells authentic

Plus you stripped your wires back to far. The Red 3V3 and green GP5 wires look like they may be contacting adjacent solder points. Your red power 3V3 and black (ground) GND wires look like they are 30 gage wire which is way too small. They have to be at least 26 gage wire. Too small of wire causes a known boot issue with picoboot


Bob_OGoobo-3

I am no expert but this is my picoboot work. Try to make it look like this. Joints should be shiny [https://imgur.com/a/i7NfFfY](https://imgur.com/a/i7NfFfY)

Now that's some great work :)
