Technically I have this thing finished up at this point but i don't want to fill up my finished project post with all the pictures so i'll upload those here.
First up I fried my very first board so I had a lot of of stuff that i had prepped and then had to sit for a few weeks while I finished working summer camps.
Those things included:
First up is the wired controller:
I never could get x or b to work so i scrapped those parts and started from scratch, used up SIX controllers for this one cube, but hey it was a learning experience
Then the Memory card and SD Gecko:
side note people using swiss wire your sdgecko to slot A, memory card emulation requires this, I wired it to slot be so i don't have this awesome feature
And Batteries:
Also you can see the audio amp i am using (stolen from sega game gear), and the wiikey fusion that i tried to wire up right but never could
Case:
I was probably getting ahead of myself when i went and made the case (and i was, it is slightly to small) but i took the measurements and needed something to do while waiting on the cube. And yes I am aware that the paint job is crap, this was meant to be functional, not pretty. My next cube however will be both!
Paint job is loosely based of groudon from 3rd gen of pokemon, like wise next cube will be kyogre, just much much better.
Finally got my new cube in and this one was a rev C so no worries about the regulator board this time:
Then after finally giving up on ever getting my own wiring right i contacted megalomaniac and got one of his megadrives and a spare swiss flashed wiikey:
Soooooooooooooooooooooo much easier. Big thanks to megalomaniac as that made the wiring so much easier! :dance:
Not many pictures of the rest of my process but here is what i do have of cramming it in the case:
And a picture of the finished product:
The rest of the stats and photos will be in my finished project post. I really want to thank the made-by-bacteria and modretro communities; I've been a forum lurker for a while now but have learned a lot from all of you, in fact it was watching Bacteria's N64 portable guide that got me into this stuff. And it was looking at Ashen, Tchay, and ShockSlayers gamecube work that inspired me. And definately Megalomaniacs work that got me through in the end. You all have so amazing people here and i am really looking forward to getting more involved. Thanks for every thing!
Below is a video over features and demo:
