Your issue is strange. I didn't wired up the cap on my mobo (after serious trimming) and the video is OK. Not perfect but totally playable for testing purposes. Is the quality that bad without the cap ? I cannot believe that you killed the capacitor. Anyway you can buy a bunch of capacitors...

Actually I have ordered hundreds of capacitor from small tantalum to a huge 450V 22mF aluminium (big like a champagne magnum :lol: ) and NEVER encountered a wrong mark. Furthermore according to its size it is totally something around that value, which also sounds realistic for filtering purpose...

You're welcome. Well I don't think there is a problem with that. You may lose some short protection and have a less regulated current, but whatever this shouldn't be a problem. You can still look for a powerboard, many of us have plenty of them and you can certainly find one near your location...

Too bad... Check on DX.com. There is some cheap psp housing for 12$. Just get rid of the inner plastic you don't need. Anyway this is your choice :wink:

Great ! Capacitors are some very-hard-to-kill components... Are you sure of the polarity ? Check your 12v line with a voltmeter also, as the built-in audio amp needs it. If it still doesn't work and that you cannot replace them (should cost around 50 cents, so I think that you can afford it...

So I took a closer look at your video. The caps you "disturbed" are just video and audio filtering caps and cannot be responsible of such troubles. Your board should start. The way you removed the ports seems really clean. Anyway, keep checking for a shortcut on these. Double check your...

It is 220 uF. Did you put a 2.4k resistor on the AV chip ? This one is critical. The 220uF cap must be wired up in line. From where are you getting your video signal when testing the cap filter ? Try it directly from the chip. If PAL board, did you wire the mobo to your screen with the original...

Hi, Sounds like a short to me. And test the fuse with a continuity checker.

I meant that only 3 wires (data, 3.3V and GND) are needed once the controller is done :wink: and you can easily wire them at the end. (O course all those tiny wires to traces are hard to solder "inside" the controller). Well yes I think that bypassing all the transistors is the problem. They...

@hailrazer : No, it is the only model that I don't have in fact. When I realized that it will be too hard to put everything in it, I just started to draw my one case. I can make it though, but you'll have it in september as I don't have my computer. @Blargaman91 : Well according to Ashen, wire...

According to my 3D models it is nearly possible to put a whole gamecube in a psp case. This require PSP/3ds super tiny sticks and switches, PSP super tiny speakers, a custom super tiny audio amp (see lm4863 if you want some high quality sound, need a heatsink though), a well built zenloc...

The only thing you need to make lots of these component boards is one original one and lots of b0[...] chips. Just make the diagram out of the board and it is done. Making the pcb is kinda easy. I think that mega is actually making some but Im not sure.

I like it. :wink: My only remark is that maybe putting the 4 controllers in the front is not the better option as wires may disturb the screen's visibility (and you ll be able to put some screen controls in the front then). But anyway this is just some details. Will you keep the motherboard...

Well I'm on hollidays, so it will be hard to test every theory. How do you wire sense pin with a sd gecko adapter ? I soldered sense pin from motherboard directly to 3.3V. Is it ok ? i asked a friend to find me a rev a/b gamecube anyway. I think the problem could come from the way I trimmed...

Well I'll try to make it super tiny... Back in 1 hour EDIT : well....... it gets a little better......... So wire length is about 2.5" (memcard A around 5"). Memcard A still works, memcard B tell me "do you want to format that memcard", I think "dafuq, it is already formatted and I have saves...

Done and done. Well I got fed up, wired up an sd gecko with "mem card adapter support" (int pin soldered). Still not working... This is really upsetting me. Wire length is only 1inch longer than for the A slot which works. Here's my wiring. Copper is enameld and there is no short (checked it...

Case news : Yep I know this technique, but actually this only works with ABS, and my case is not in ABS , neither in PLA. This is only true for a filament extruding 3D printer, which was not the case of the one I used :wink: I sanded nearly all the back, and this is such a desapointing...

Ashen : The portable gamecube factory :lol:

Hi, well nearly everything is in the title. I wired up my memcards today. The integrated one works nicely, while the slot B one (external) doesn't work at all. I have some "The object inserted in slot B cannot be used" error and then "An error as occured please turn off your gamecube etc." This...

Yep that is pretty much the same, just longer to do when you have many traces to check. If you 0 Ohm betwen 3.3V and ground you have a short.
