Re: Custom Gamecube Regulator!! Wiikey Fusion/WODE compatibl
When I say use thicker wire I do not think it will make a difference I know it will make a difference. I have had this problem before. Don't forget that the 1.9v line is using 6 amps. A thing wire like that could not handle the current.
What do you have to lose anyway. Just get some thicker cable with copper thread and try it ;-)

Re: Custom Gamecube Regulator!! Wiikey Fusion/WODE compatibl
Okay, so I used thicker wire. (The same wire that Ashen used to wire up his commissioned boards.) However, my board still won't power on using my custom regulators!
Here's my reg specs:
PTH08080W with 1.8kΩ resistor outputting 3.403 volts
PTR08100W with 910Ω resistor outputting 1.902 volts
The board and regs have the ticker wire. My power source is a 12.2v 5A laptop PSU. HELP!!!

Your setup is fine. All I can think of is using new regulators. Get some more an try again. It has to work!

Re: Custom Gamecube Regulator!! Wiikey Fusion/WODE compatibl
So you have multple PTR08100W?? and multiple PTH08080??
You could replace the caps to see if it does anything. I also use 16v 100uf caps so they are the right ones.
It's trouble shooting really. Try different resistor values.Maybe go more to the 3.3v area. Try to go to 1.8v area. Try a different gamecube. You really gotta try everything possible even the stupid things. You'd be surprised that allot of the times thats where the problems lies.

Re: Custom Gamecube Regulator!! Wiikey Fusion/WODE compatibl
Nah it should not make any difference. The only thing is that you have to remove 1 1.9v wire. Just let the 1.9v line go to the cpu chip and the 3.3v line to the spot you already have it on.
The 1.9v cpu and gpu spots are already connected if apply 1.9v to both of them for some reason it will not turn on. I had this problem aswell. Give it a try.

Sigh... well that might be the problem!

How many different cubes have you tried you regulator on??

Hmmm the only thing I can think of is trying another cube.
I've never had any problems with custom regulators so you should be able to do it too.

Re: Custom Gamecube Regulator!! Wiikey Fusion/WODE compatibl
Waah! Why is this so hard! 
Gamecube: C/DOL-CPU-30 (DOL 001 model)
Regulators:
3.3v - PTH08080W with 1.8k resistor - vOut = 3.84v NO LOAD
1.9v - PTR08100W with 910 ohm resistor - vOut = 1.93v NO LOAD
GND hooked up to GND strip and under 3.3v diode. GC powers on from reg board but not from custom regs.
I've tried giving power to the GPU and the CPU (smaller chip) individually, but still nothing.
My PSU is a 12.5v 5A laptop power supply.
I'm getting super frustrated with this. Do I need a 5v regulator? Can you get a cube to power on without one?

Re: Custom Gamecube Regulator!! Wiikey Fusion/WODE compatibl
Try a different power supply. Maybe it just doesn't work properly with the regulators. Use the original gamecube powerbrick.
As for the 5v line that isn't needed. Don't know what else it could be.

Re: Custom Gamecube Regulator!! Wiikey Fusion/WODE compatibl
Im having trouble getting my regs to work.
My 5V line is fine, its outputting 5V, like it should.
However, my 1.9V line and my 3.43V line isn't outputting anything.
I don't understand why, I pretty dang sure its wired correctly.
My 3.43V line has a 3.5k resistor, and I'll figure out my 1.9V lines later.
Im using the original power supply, and original power plug thing for 12V.
Also, the wires are going straight to the CPU and GPU, and it should be correct because Ashen wired it for me.
Help?
