Cartridge Reader - Doesn't Read SD Card
Posted: Mon May 29, 2017 1:10 pm
Hi All,
I have been working on my Gameboy Zero and have been following Helder's guides but I have run into a problem with getting the cartridge reader to work. I have it all wired up but it does not read the SD card, I continually get an error (see below image). I have checked all the connections and checked for continuity and all looks good. I am wondering if I have used a wrong pad on the back of the PI as I have the PI v1.3 with the camera and the pads are different then in Helders tutorial. The SD card works if I have it slotted in the PI itself AND disconnect the cartridge form the reader. If the cartridge is in the reader with no SD card in it (the SD card is the PI slot) it errors out as well. You can see pictures below of the setup. Any advice would be appreciated!
