Hi just wondering if u could help i have made this project with the pcb and when i start it up i get a sd card mount fail error 1 , i have tried other sd cards and i get error 3 is there somthing i am missing?

[fhoedemakers]

Hi,

• First of all, check your soldering. Bad soldered connections to the SD-card cause those problems. See also SD card mount error: 3 #31
• Your SD card must be FAT32 formatted.
• Use low capacity SD-cards. 4, 16 or 32 GB should work. I recently bought these which work well. Keep away from cheap unbranded cards.

Ok i am having this same issue with my build, i have tried a few 32g sandisk cards and either get an error 3 with not inserted and error 13 with a card inserted. updated the firmware and tried a different power supply.

Assume you have the PCB. Please send a picture of the front and back.

It seems like the three debug holes on the right of the pico are not soldered. The debug middle hole is used for GND and is connected to GND of the SD breakout.
Also redo the solder work on the other pins of the pico.

If you have a multimeter at hand, you can check continuity between the SD breakout board and the pico. How they are connected is described here:

That was it, i have never soldered any of the debug holes on any other projects but that fixed it.

Thank you for you help.

Glad to hear it's working now. Have fun!

I'm excited to try this with my 10 year old. We wanted to build a handheld- do you have it worked out, or have an idea of how we could directly run a little OLED or LCD screen like the GameBoy Pico projects do instead of the DVI breakout board? Would microswitches be hard to use instead of the NES controller ports? Either way, this is inexpensive enough that we may make one just to play with, then experiment with the other version. We want a gameboy color emulator for pico next!

It shoud be possible. Last year a made a version of the emulator for the PicoSystem handheld. See https://github.com/fhoedemakers/PicoSystem_InfoNes
Maybe that can be used as a start. It basically uses microswitches as buttons. The most hardest part is finding the correct screen which is fast enough to display the data at 60fps. The PicoSystem has that kind of screen and has also a vsync setting to keep the framerate steady. I use the software library they provide to render the screen.
