I have just finished my first portable, my GobliN64 N64 portable, and had planned on eventually making a GCp, especially now that I have looked at Ashens Gamecube Fusion Rev 4 thread and have seen how amazing that turned out, now I'm looking at getting some things together a little at a time to make one.
So I had a couple questions about the Wiikey Fusion/ Wasp Fusion SD drive mod for use in the Gamecube portables that I'm looking at on Badassconsoles.com and was hoping I could get some advice/personal experience from some you good folks on here.
Anyways:
1. The
$25 'drive replacement' http://www.badassconsoles.com/drive-replacement/
and the
Megadrive v3 http://www.badassconsoles.com/megadrive-v3/
along with the FFC cable http://www.badassconsoles.com/ffc-cable/
would be the 3 things I would need to purchase in order to eliminate the physical dvd drive from the console, correct?
2. If the above assumption is correct, what revisions are the best to use it on or does it matter? I assume it will work on any revision, but if one is better than another I would try to acquire that revision to save some labor. (Rev C from what I understand is better one to use, unless i'm mistaken?)
3. How difficult is it to mount the megadrive to the mobo? That also 'looks' fairly simple, but I haven't looked far enough into to this to know, I'm still kinda figuring out if I can afford the extra play money to jump into another one or if I should just slowly acquire parts as I can afford them for now.
As I said , i'm still starting to do the research to take one of these on, I just thought I would ask to get a better idea of what I would be getting into with one of these drives. I appreciate the help/advice from you guys. I would have never finished my first one with out it, and wouldn't be able to do this without it!
