EDIT: the resistor in you picture is a 33k ohm, you want a *orange, *orange, black, gold resistor. Always a good idea to check your resistors with a meter, and pay attention to the k as in kilo or one thousand.(the resistor in the pic is 33,000 ohms or 33k ohm)
if resistor is actually correct it must be the usb driver? did you download the correct driver that gameroms linked to in his thread? Maybe it is a vista issue with the driver?(I think gameroms uses vista tho) Maybe try it on an XP machine?
edit: *orange not yellow duh!
