Re: SD Gecko not working

I think I'll just wait til I have access to a soldering iron to fix it or maybe I'll just buy another one. Anyways, thanks for your help. Is there anyplace that sells SD Geckos beside DealExtreme?

Re: SD Gecko not working

I think I found the problem. The connection at 7 doesn't seem to be properly soldered. When I check the connection, in order to get a reading, I need to have the lead touching both the soldered point and the SD slot pin. The other connections work perfectly. I would fix this but I don't have a solde...

Re: SD Gecko not working

With tape, it has gotten to the point where it barely fits into the slot. Right now, I don't have access to a multimeter but when I do, I'll check and report if it's correct or not.

Re: SD Gecko not working

Both the slots read my memory cards and my Wii has a faulty front slot where I have to hold the sd card in a specific way but does read homebrew.

Re: SD Gecko not working

I actually haven't managed to run SDLoad through Action Replay. I've been using an iso of it on my Wii that can run Gamecube backups and I can't get it to read data of the Gecko. I really think there is something wrong with my Gecko. There are connections on the back of it that don't make sense to m...

Re: SD Gecko not working

I wonder if there's something wrong with the SD Card slot on the Gecko. When I run SDLOAD on my Wii, when I insert my SD Card, it says "reinsert sd card in slot a" with no files showing up even though there are on the card. Sometimes when I insert the Gecko without the SD Card, I get a lis...

Re: SD Gecko not working

Yeah. I did everything I was suppose to do. Formatted the card to FAT, used SDpatch.exe on an XP machine, put sdloader.bin at the root, and used the SDLOAD code on Action Replay with the Gecko in slot a and the Action Replay dongle in slot b.

Re: SD Gecko not working

Only non-sdhc card I have is the one that comes with the 3DS. It's formatted the same and still gives the same results as the 512mb. Here's a picture of it looks like if it matters.

Re: SD Gecko not working

It says the object inserted in slot a cannot be used.

In windows, when I format, I get FAT and FAT32, no FAT16. I thought FAT is FAT16. Is there a tool you use to format to FAT16?

Re: SD Gecko not working

Is there anything you can think of why it's not working? I also tried the tape mod that I found by you but that didn't work. I really hope I didn't buy a dud.

SD Gecko not working

Recently, I bought an SD Gecko from DealExtreme and I can't get it to work. I tried to use it with Action Replay with the SDLOAD code but it didn't work. After rechecking the code multiple times, I tried to see if the SD Gecko works on my modded Wii and it doesn't read it in the Homebrew Channel. Wh...
