I've SD-BOOT instaled memory of qoob pro, when the emu_kidid release the new sd-boot version, can I load the new version with my old version?, the flat cable of my qoob pro is broken and i can't plug the qoob pro on my PC.

It all depends how broken DOL loading support is in the version you have. Latest SD-Boot has very good DOL support (the unreleased version).

Broken DOL ?!?!

What I'm saying is that DOL loading support in your version isn't perfect, it might work.

...or are you asking if you can flash it on your qoob pro by loading it with your currently installed sboot?

I'll explain step by step

1 - I have the latest version released on pro quoob( Sd-boot RC4 i think)

2 - I'll copy the new version after release to the SD Card

3 - I will use my old version (RC4) for loading the new version directly from SD card, because I can't flash it to qoob


will work?

oh okay, well then: what emu_kidid said

In my experience I think RC3 was better than RC4 for DOL compatibility. RC4 won't load Wii64 for instance.

wii64 or Cube64 ?!

Cube64

Depending on how good your soldering skills are one fix I do for broken flat cables is to remove the connectors from the 2 PCBs then take a old ATA-100 IDE Cable (has to be the 80 wire cable), Kynar Wire, or any insulated 28-30 awg wire and direct solder the wires to each pad that the connector pins use to be on. It's not too hard but not easy and takes some skill with a iron but it does work well just be sure you get the pad to pad orientation right. I did it for PS2 v4 that had a damaged power/reset cable and it's still works despite having done it 4 years ago and opening the case several times after.

Yes I've had to do this too in the past.

Oh...My...God


Plan A - I'll try to open the new version using the old version,
Plan B - I'll try to use the sdload to open the new version of sdboot
Plan C - buy another qoob(or I'll find a friend who has)

Tnks for all

Go to Wiinewz Forums to read the soldering for Dummies tutorial. I read that, got all my supplies from radioshack and then practiced on an old CD ROM drive.

I have a radioshack 15 watt iron. I filed down the tip to a fine point.

Desoldering braid works better than a desoldering sucker in most cases. Flux can be your friend but I find just tinning the contact points and wire itself works great in most cases.

Learning to solder is really fun and you never look at any of your electronics the same way.

Since learning to solder, I have fixed a laptop power jack, a laptop cord that broke and a set top box that stopped working.

Like the others, I have fixed a broken ribbon with 30 awg wire and just bridged the two contact points. It's really not that bad at all.

My first soldering project was soldering a Crystal Chip Pro 2.0 SE to a PS2 V12. After that I did the D2CKey. I really really enjoyed doing those projects and got a great sense of accomplishment out of it. Give it a whirl you won't regret it.
