Quadruple post time.

I'm sure you're all tired of my theoretical progress updates but here goes.

The whole system is up and running and I'm tweaking the controller on a regular controller to get it working before connecting to the controller.

The main stick is not work, I believe it's a faulty stick.

Second the whole controller becomes disconnected when I turn the rumble off, so I need to figure that one out.

Other than that everything seems to be working fine aside from the persistent interference lines.

I will order a new 3ds joystick and work on the triggers tomorrow.

OK ALL MODDERS LISTEN UP!

I got the portable done it was closed and finished working by itself. I was testing everything until the last point when I tested the memory card B slot. The gamecube suddenly turned off.

Again the 3.3v regulator stopped working, so somehow the memory card turned off the 3.3v reg.

This has happened before and after a little while the regulator comes back on. I'm guessing it's in some kind of sleep mode. so guys, it's almost done.

But has anyone ever experienced this problem before?

Ok everyone I had a mini freak out.

Turns out something is shorting the 3.3 to ground somewhere in my entire gamecube. That's why this problem has been happening on and off.

Now I've got to go over my entire gamecube and check everything to find the short.

This might take a while. *sigh*

I can't wait to see this think! Good luck finding that short! I'm really glad you figured out the problem, even if it may be a pain to solve.

Well after acouple minutes of prayer (I'm serious) I found the short and fixed it. All is well now and I'm collaborating with Shockslayer on the video. Expect it up in the next few days.

Nice to see this is finally pretty much completed, can't wait for the vid!

I'll be doing it much faster with my next one at least. But I'll just wait until I release the actual video first before I show the details of that one at least.
