Yes you can use the emulators on the SD gecko
that was originally the only way (besides burning them to mini-dvd) to run them until WKF/WASP came along, its main crux (the WKF/WASP) is that the card slot is read only

Hi guys !
I finished my case design and it is now printing
please take a look :
I now have a few questions regarding the wasp/sed gecko combo.
I read a lot of topics on Gcforever and modretro and there are a few things that i don't quite understand ...
- Is swiss just another interface of the wkf for the gamecube ? or a mod for the chip to work on the gamecube ?
- is The pin 29's purpose to trigger the wkf on the gamecube startup menu ?
- What is the purpose of SD gecko ?
- If i configure swiss autoboot, the pin 29 switch will be useless right ?
Sorry in advance if any of these questions have been answered many times ...
Thanks for the help

1. It's an interface to flash onto the WKF replacing the stock WKF menu.
2. Yes but, Swiss removes the need of wiring up the pin 29 switch.
3. To use homebrew on the GC and to re-flash the WKF. It's highly recommended to include one even if you don't plan on using homebrew because new version of Swiss always need to be flashed.
4. Swiss comes "pre configured" to autoboot if you want to put it like that but I don't think wording it like that is correct?

The print is done i'll post pictures tonight I increased the global thickness of the unit just to be sure i have enough space.
I started looking for some batteries and i found these ones
http://www.ebay.com/itm/3-7V-2500-mAh-L ... SwVL1WBQp6
I'll put 6 of them in the console, 2 packs of 3 ( the 3 beeing wired in series) in parallel to have 11.1V and 5000 amps which should give me about 3 hours of gameplays according to th 11.1V current draw.
a bit scared of trying a custom regulator

I don' really know haha is it really that much better ?
Because i have enough space for the normal regulator... Isn't the custom one going to draw more juice with such a low voltage ?
And as promised here are the case pics :
Everything seems to fit quite nicely ! I'm waiting to be back home to start modding the controller

If you look at the calculations over at zenlocs thread you'll see that it's almost exactly the same as the stock regulator (if just a bit better) and takes longer for the voltage drop to affect the unit (since the GameCube regulator is made for a constant 12v source) which means you'll actually get longer out of the same batteries with zenlocs regs
