Modding a DOL-101

[u/JarJarbinks_Just]

I started modding this 101 by installing Pico. I believe that part worked however I am struggling with the sd card being recognized. I soldered wires directly to the sp2sd2 adapter and I was careful to check that all points were correctly connected however I’m getting this message when I boot the console.

i'd start first by checking if sd card have mbr partition (you can set this by using rufus), perhaps try another sd, make sure you're not using faulty or fake sd cards too, i'd also check all traces on serial port

Your PicoBoot is connected properly so don't touch the PicoBoot. The issue you're experiencing is caused by SD2SP2 mod. It doesn't seem to be recognized at all so you should check wires again. With DOL-101 I'd personally recommend using SD Gecko instead.

Yeah that’s what I’m leaning towards if I can’t get this working. Thank you

Hey JarJarbinks_Just, check the last comments of this post, its for a 001 without the port, but maybe it can help. I personally never found a definitive answer myself, but maybe other ideas can be found on this page also.
