I manage to solve the ploblem with the blinking light in the pico and the pc recognoice the sd when i plug the usb in the pico, but it still disconnect the controller, even in the begining before i added the sd module. I put everything in the adapter pcb and it seems the connections are fine.

That is very strange, I've never seen that issue. Beside the controller not working, does the psx detect PicoMemcard as a valid memory card? What about if you plug PicoMemcard in the second slot and the controller in the first slot?

poyigiygas commented 1 year ago

Nope even the status led says all right the ps1 dont recognice the picomemcard+. When i plug in the second slot Does the same thing, even sometimes reboot the console. If it helps my console has been modded whith xstation and external psu. I try with a unmodded ps1 and do the same behaivour.

The fact that it's modded shouldn't make a difference. It may be a power issue since the PC recognizes it. Could you try to do the following:

tape off the contact that provides power from the PSX to PicoMemcard
power PicoMemcard using a USB phone charger (do not use a USB port of a PC otherwise it will enter in transfer mode)
connect it to the PSX and see if it gets detected

I give up not working, anyway im going to buy the rp2040 zero and smaller sd adaptor and make it more tidy. Thanks.
