Cheese's first GCP worklog

[cheese]

I've been planning to make a gamecube portable for a while now, and I just recently finished looking through the site at many other portable worklogs and guides and tons of other things like that until I felt that I knew somewhat what I was doing . I have already planned out a design for the case, and received all the parts (minus batteries, because I changed my mind on the ones I already have ). I got a soldering iron to replace my huge soldering thingy (that could burn wood by touching it).
(8/7/11) Got in my charger, flux pen, and ZN-40 case!!
(8/8/11) Got my Wiikey
(8/14/11) Got my wire, new screen, and more pieces for mah amp! DON'T Sega ABOUT PROGRESS UPDATES ONLY!
(8/20/11) Wired up my Memorycard to slot A, and wired sense for SD Gecko for slot B
(8/21/11) Wired up amps and started working on controller
(8/23/11) Got in break-out board, and worked on wiring for wiikey
One year of procrastination later...
(11/1/12)Did research to re-figure out how to do this stuff
(11/11/12)Soldered (new salvaged)Audio amp to GameCube, and bought a desoldering pump on ebay (should arrive by 11/13/12 - 11/20/12). Looked up info on new Li-Ion batteries to replace the twenty AA sized batteries I originally planned on using (will 3 of these work with this regulator board?).

What he said. Only, add in the two neglected letters.

How big are these batteries? 20 batteries is kind of insane. It will work, yes, but it will be extremely heavy.

Also, what are some alternitives to a dremel for cutting holes in the case? And what should I use to cover up my mistakes and smooth out the case, Bondo?
1.Just use the dang dremel, its the best and easiest option

20 batteries is to heavy unless they are really super light.

Ill try to put the pics on a new server.

Just use the dang dremel

My dad has a dremel, but he won't let me use it.

20 batteries is to heavy unless they are really super light.

I recently just thought of that... They are AA sized batteries, and I pulled out a 20 pack for size comparison, and found they would not all fit in the case anyways Hopefully 10 will fit

Update!
Added a new pic in the first post, also changed the first post with fixed pictures

since your portable is going to be square why not use batteries like in hailrazers guide? or does your design constrict the use of squares?

My design is with a zn40 case, witch is a slightly rectangular thing with the bottom having a bit of plastic sticking down (stupid stacking design )
Also the Gamecube Motherboard kinda is a square... Also could you provide a link to what you are talking about? Googled it and can't find flax.

UPDATE!
Added new pics to the first post.

Dont put your mobo on carpet. The static will kill it. And if you have your fan set up like that, the plastic will prevent the air from flowing across the heatsink. Do it like this http://www.facebook.com/?ref=home#!/pho ... =1&theater see how the fan is cut?

and static only kills when it isnt humid! ..... and if something is rectangular squares should fit.

Not really, did he just cut off all the plastic except the little round thing with the sticker?

Thanks for the link, and I never said squares wouldn't fit, where did you come up with that?
Also since static only kills when it isn't humid, then I have nothing to worry about! Florida is never dry!

UPDATE!!! NEW PICS, AND WIIKEY!!!

 

[ABOUT90HAMSTERS]

well i thought since you were using a round cell that the case would be rounded...... so i dont know what i was thinking.

 

[unicycler17]

Post pics of progress, not pics of your supplies. We already know what gamecubes and wiikeys look like.
