Things I've tried while troubleshooting;
I quadruple checked my soldering points between the megadrive v5 and the motherboard.
I replaced the ffc cable between the megadrive and the wasp twice with two different cables.
I've checked the motherboard for any residue that may be causing a short and found none.
I've tried launching games through sd gecko. No luck there.
I've changed the dipswitch settings on the wasp to be NTSC which didn't make a difference.
I've also tried updating to the latest nightly build with no luck.
I'm at a loss guys and I would really appreciate your time and help in resolving this as I am nearly finished with my portable and I only need to close it up at this point.
I'm greeted with this everytime...
