Electrical tape the path of the wires and then tape them to the path
Then use the alt Hana point and it should glitch

thanks for the input boss but result is still the same

think i'm just gonna wait until i get some more coolrunners, CK3 back in stock now so hopefully have them next week, still would be good to figure this bugger out though!

P.S with your method does it only work if you have electrical tape down?

It is not a method it is just something that me and carlooch have always kinda joked around with whenever we have a console that does not work we try electrical tape and if you it seems we always get it to work with electrical tape

stay away from 5oohm coax it doesnt help, if you have a spare pll_bypass cable from coolrunner kit use it and wrap your wires around the heatsink standoffs, should make it around 2 times and fit nicely right up to pll_bypass point.

If your STBY_CLK is running to alt point i suggest making it as short as possible and run it down through the southbrdge holes, I hope you get better gltiches but i have waited 1:30 for a slim to glitch but i get them gltiching within 20-30 secs using this method.

PLaying with pll_bypass seems to be the main cause of boot times.. worth a shot,the standoffs seem to keep it consistant when its in the case being so tight to the aluminum chassis its not getting much interference this way.

If mafias suggestion doesnt work i have found that in
Some cases coiling the cpu_rst under the HANA chip
Improves boot times

I had a go at this, coiled the wire around the heatsink feet under the board and it worked first time, booted in less than 20 seconds, but upon 2nd boot it took 6 minutes lol! And now it's back to erratically booting after a minute or more, while i write this i am waiting on the console to boot after an 8 minute wait lol.... I gave up waiting and rebooted and it booted in 40 seconds

All they put in with the coolrunner (RevC) is that 50ohm cable... And as i'm using a x360glitchip i didn't get anything with it other than a loss of several hours and a headache.

I've even tried the 100nF cap and it hasn't really affected boot times, they're still long and erratic

With this x360glitchip the phat booting time is around a minute but with the 50ohm cable it boots in less than 10 seconds!

i never had much luck with coax, how are you running it seems like it would cause warping if you ran all of that cable under the Main board unless your using that QSB.

i use it ontop of the board, just by cutting a bit out of the wind tunnel

Mine Takes about 10-20 seconds to boot but when RGH for personal use a always leave the nand-x wires so it sticks out the top so no need for opening the console up it bricks at any point

To me it sounds as if it is simply an issue with the chip itself. Most of those chips provide long boot times, but very rarely over 40 secs.
Did you install RGH 1.1 or RGH 2.0? (I din't see you mention it)

Basically nothing is "technically" wrong, just a bad chip for loading. There are some things a user you sell it to could to to improve the boot up times anyway. Or you could mess around with resistor values. This tends to improve boot times on my consoles by about 20 - 30 seconds if I find the right value.

i've tried multiple x360glitchips and results are the same, on the phat the 50ohm cables works treat but doesn't do anything for the slim

will be trying the new revC coolrunner once it arrives in the next day or 2
