Webhdx the PicoBoot creator has told me that he is working on a new firmware update that might not work with this Flex PCB without soldering an Extra Wire. The current FLEX PCB (as of December 15) has a protection Diode and the proper missing pin not in the original design so if a wire is needed in the future it will be easy to access from the new test points. The upcoming update is to fix the In Game Reset (IGR) not properly implemented in the current PicoBoot Firmware and is adding some Pico W implementations. There is no ETA exactly when this update will be available but the current firmware is stable in everything else working as has been shown on many videos.
This Quick Solder Flex PCB makes installing the PicoBoot mod a breeze and without having to use any wires or bend the corner of the DVD Drive enclosure to fit wires as in a normal installation.
PicoBoot was made by Webhdx and his github to the code as well as instructions on how to program the Raspberry Pico are on his github page:
https://github.com/webhdx/PicoBoot
You will also need the SWISS software to boot the ISO or Homebrew and that is below. To make use of the software you will either need an SD Gecko or an SP2 Micro SD Adapter, both of which I am offering on my website.
