Hey guys, I have RGH 3 hacked 2 phat consoles now, first a jasper then a falcon. Im getting an issue on bootup. maybe 75% boots up fine and everything is good almost an instant boot. But maybe 25% of the time i press the power button and the console powers off 2 seconds later. just strange its a bit inconsistent. With the jasper i have it now where its getting a perfect boot everytime and the issue seems to be gone after touching up all my wires and soildering. the falcon keeps having this issue where sometimes it wont boot and shuts down. Im using 30awg wire, 10k resistor on smc pll, and a a 1N4148 Diode on smc post 1. Ive tried with and without the diode and am getting the same results. strange how the jasper seems perfect now. on a side note i am using the Alternate smc pll right above the ft2r2 to keep all my wires on the back of the board. Is anyone else having these issues with booting inconsistencies on RGH3. seems like its hit or miss as my jasper is now fine after lots of corrections. Dont know if im doing somthing wrong? checked and have redone my soildering many times. No bridges. Ive tried both timming files and still get the same results. (right now im running 27mhz on the falcon thats giving issues)
