Hello everybody !
Let's introduce myself, I'm 16, french, living in Austria, and I like crazy projects
I decided tu make a GCp, and already have some few ideas of what I want !
I just got my first gamecube yesterday for 15€, but 3 others should arrived during this month for...0€
I want kind of an hybrid GC, in fact, I want to be able to use it also like a normal GC (4 players, 2 memorycards etc etc). But, obviously, I'm not that good in electronics so I have lots and lots of questions...
I'll use a 5" LCD from good displays, an original controller, the original memorycard slots, 3 controller slots, Li-Po's battery, self-made vacuum formed case?, a XenoGC (cheap chip
) and it should be enough ![Wink ;) ;)](http://forums.modretro.com/smilies/bh_icon_wink.gif)
I think it should be in 2 parts, one part containing all but the batteries, and the other part with only the batteries (linked in between with a cable similar to the original power supply cable, to switch them easily).
Depending one what mobo rev I can get, the gamecube would be powered with 12 or 7.4V, but at the moment the Gamecube I have is a Rev C so...12V batteries![Confused :confused: :confused:](http://forums.modretro.com/smilies/icon_confused.gif)
I've made a little "drawing" :
And some pictures of what I have for now :
The beginning
Cutted DVD drive
What I plan for the mobo, I want to cut on the red line, good or bad idea?
What I plan for the daugther board, I want to cut on the red line too, not much but it's always better...well, it's better if it works of course
And finnaly the controller, I think I'm going to cut along the red line and then wire all that stuff and finally relocate the sensitive button.
And now some questions :
How all of you are trimming the boards ? With a saw ?
According to you, how can I train myself for soldering?
Other questions soon
Well I hope I had express myself in a clear way, and without too much mistakes
See you soon !
