So last night I desoldered, and resoldered the current wires. I instead only got the "Cannot Read Disc" error! I continued to mess with the GC by turning on and off, toggling the wii eject hoping it would work. After a few tries... dead mobo! No voltage across anything 'cept the plugin for the...

Thank you, means a lot! You think it would have anything specifically to do with my WKF grounding? I read in the WKF trouble shooting guide errors like this come from grounding issues.

So I'm getting a few errors, and WKF debug LED is solid blue on powering up... sometimes/immediately I get the DD error, sometimes/immediately I get "Cannot Read Disc", seldom do I get the "Reading Disc..." but it hangs til DD error. Should I just use thicker wire, I shouldn't be having latency...

Don't look in the mirror, just a joke to lift your mood. I hope you're in better spirits, I've learned to really take your time when moving through the electronics and soldering. I thought I was, but I stare started to work through it even slower.

Thanks Carlifirio! Small update, I didn't get a chance to install WKF/controller. I did install LCD, and realized, I'm gonna need to get creative with the controller layout or bondo one in and use filler. But here's a look at the LCD installed.

1 board down, video problem is killing me! Put it aside for now, got a rev C given to me. All ports desoldered, video works, and since there isn't a whole lot you can trim off from this board; it'll be untrimmed. Zenloc heatsink comes in today, LCD next week. WKF, slot A, SD gecko, and...

I had the same video problem on my DOL-001 v1.1 Almost OMGWTF cut(thanks Tchay for helping); put it to the side for now, as I got a rev C given to me. These GCs are temperamental in the sense, you can short something/knock it around/just about kill it on one board, and can't on another. Do keep...

I was looking into using component(RGB) for my high res LCD, and found something conflicting. I can't do Almost/OMGWTF if I want component. Is there any alternate pinouts for component?

Yea, I'd like to attempt component, but I need the digital cord for the PCB in it. Here's some shots of current status, I couldn't wait for the LCD. I'll probably cut it near OMGWTF, leaving a few centimeters extra on the backside so I won't have to relocate those filters.

Today I ordered a 5" 800x480 LCD, and a thinkpad heatsink. EBay has those slim thinkpad heatsinks under $15 shipped! Last night I desoldered all the ports... just have to wait for the LCD to come in to test!

Re: Please help me! i dont know if i should try to make a GC Also, be sure to brush up on soldering! Most definitely, have a multimeter. If you have any questions be sure to ask them, than guess(especially when building electronics).

Thank you for your comment, you're right though. As a first timer, maybe I should stick with a pre-fab'd case. I got one of these laying around, dimensions are(at its widest) 8"x6"x1 1/3" whaddaya think of this? its got ventilation already, may need a fewmore holes though.

*sigh* Once again, mockup and here's the mount, I especially like how to top feels when my index fingers are resting there. ... :sweat: *sigh*

Aloha everyone! I'm here because I was inspired by all the beauties everyone is making! Although there are GC emus, they pale in comparison to portable-izing an actual GC! Thank you to everyone whom gave input thus far! I've been looking to get back into GC, and this will be just the thing...
