Re: CubeFusionPAL - Gamer's Third GCP attempt (15/2/13)
yeah, i would.
but im having issues with my audio amp's speakers. some of the ones im using (ds lite/GBA/yinlips) are sometimes working, sometimes not. weird i know.
i have a stereo amp complete, just need to mod it first.
the yinlips speakers are crap, so i threw them out tonight after some testing
they suck
im left with GBA and DS lite.
and i think my smaller fan (50mm) may have issues now, i think need to check.
and i still am waiting on my charger cradle for the 7800mah pack (canon XM1 battery) to arrive from amazon uk so i can install it on my pack and test it out fully. (fully recharge/testing max H.Min).
i know, im doing my best, but these issues just pop up like crazy
.
I'm sad on the fact that crash bandicoot wrath of cortex and star fox adventures don't have bg music or voices at all, becuase of audio streaming issues.
oh man, i love these games, why audio streaming issue?

maybe is you amp or the preamp chip on the board also just go to a local store and get som ihip mini speakers they sound awsom and there only like 4 ohms and they cost like 3 to 5 dollers if they dont have and internal amp but if so maybe 10 dollers

thanx casper for the suggestion
,
i found some speakers, but i tried DIY them and use on my gc, but no work.
i'll use tchay amp with different speakers until i find a good working one.

X-mini v1.1 stereo speaker mod Success
really? yes. really:
the mod was to remove the default volume numb and extend it using IDE wire. 3 Pins only.
it took me 2 hours to do the mod,
1) fist i had to desolder the default volume numb, it was knida hard, but i managed, took alot of time to do, as my desoldering iron sucks ass as i frequently use it and the tip is black as black pete's ass:
so, yeah ass work, but got it done finally.
2) removed the battery pack by cutting with scissors the + first then -. it's a li ion and if you cut both at the same time => explosion O.O.
3) cut/trimmed/flux pasted three IDE wires i have form my IDE wire part i got from an old windows computer
.
Flux paste method: take wire etc, trim it and dip the wire pare into the flux paste, then add that to you area/part to join, apply solder to the iron and iron to the part + wire and boom solder joins with wire and part forming an instants, very good qulaty shiny, connection
that easy, as A,B,C and D.
4) then i attached the wires the volume numb, same numb as the tchay amp, and then attached the wires of the volume numb to the X mini board via flux method.
everything worked, except the third wire wouldn't stick, but i extend it via more wire and the third time i wired it, i got it correct
easy mod. SO happy and glad it worked, and i did it myself.
video showing my mod worked:
more soon after i test the amp on the system.

hi guys, today i slimed the rough areas of the two GC Control stick shells and cut out and fine tuned the area for GC memory card port Slot B for Homebrew/extra memory space:
the little blue PVC thing i put there with supergule cause i made a cut mistake there, but it was small enough to cover and not show at all
i haven't tested the amp on the gc yet. but i tested it on my ps2p im making swell.
it sounded good, but because of the amp being stereo, the ps2 being mono system (no option to config sound from Mono to Stero or vice versa like GC for example). the sound came out a little two faced. but it works great
im sure on the gc it'll sound great, what with being stereo and all.
more soon...

hay guys, today i found out that my charger i ordered from amazon uk arrived on friday, but due to bad weather (lots of rain) i didn't get it. instead found it on my doorstep all soaked wet, but lucky the charger and stuff wasn't wet at all, thank god
charger fits perfectly the 7800mah pack
opening the charger etc was easy and removing the adapter part i need for wiring it to the charge n play. the adapter is soldered with the +/- wires, which is great.
what it looks like on battery pack: (also slimed it down a bit to fit perfectly in my case)
lastly i added some PVC black tape to secure it o the pack:
nice, now i have the charger part for the pack, i just need to charge it fully and play on the system and record it's H and Mins.
more soon...

Re: CubeFusionPAL - Gamer's Third GCP attempt (24/2/13)
yep, im using Slot B as i can load Swiss from Wiikey slot and then boot Homebrew via my SDHC 32gb card in slot via the SDML adapter
also use it for extra memory/memory card transfer data
about the space, I'm aware of it and i hope my setup will be okay (i mean to fit in perfectly and have no issues like overlapping one object with another, but i'll see that when i test mount everything, and if there's any issue i'll make things fit in somehow, there has got to be a way to may things fit, somehow i guess?)

New updates, yay
Got the amp (stero) to work, and work it does, perfectly may I add.
No bad sound or such
found out that it's l/GnD/R wires are the Headphone jack input and works when I turn the volume all the way to the left (no speaker sound).
The audio jack, which I previously thought was the headphone jack, isn't I wired up the amp wrong way round the first time and got no sound?
But, I fixed it by adding the audio cable to the audio jack and got sound
And it's perfect, both for speaker (4 ohms) and headphones .
I tested it out on Starfox Assult and it works fine, no sound issues or such like with Tchay audio amp
hooray, finally an amp that works flawlessly
Great news finally, after so many amp issues
Now just need to wire the H jack wires to the H input as the wires are Super thin, so will need to DIY solder myself via flux paste.
And charged my 7800mah pack, I timed the recharge using my ipodtouch stopwatch i got 07h 13mins and it still hasn't fully charged yet?
It's not yet finished charging fully, I kepted the time, will charge again and just add the remaing time together with the new when the charger (TLP 4000 1A ).
It may be wrong, but I'll need more testing on the pack.
More soon, glad audio amp is flawlessly working perfectly

Re: CubeFusionPAL - Gamer's Third GCP attempt (3/3/13)
thanx casper, pics added today,
all i have to do now is this:
4/3/13
1) wire H jack to H input wires together via flux paste
2) finish charging 7800 mAh pack (fully) & test 7800 mAh pack on gc (record Hours and Mins)
3) casework (general procedure notes i made) will post notes when i reach this step.
* mounting stuff in case bit by bit, epxoying, tape etc...
* make sure everything fits alright etc...
* make adjustments (if needed)
* add spacers (if needed)
* test each part out after mounting it in (e.g.. controls etc)
4) close system
5) make presentation video and post on MR etc.
step 3 may take the MOST time/days to finish as it requires tedious amount of very careful work when using epoxy especially O.O. and to make sure each part i mount fits correctly and won't come loose anytime soon etc.
im sure you've experienced this when you were working on the Biocube, right?
any tips for mounting controls? I'm not sure on how to properly mount them.

wired the audio amp H jack wires!
my diagram notes for wiring:
soldered, fluxed and Hotguled!!!
H Jack mod complete!
amp is ultimate, has epic clear sound
audio mod working.mp4:
so, yeah amp is fully finished and working, next is the 7800 mAh pack Recharging/playtime
more soon..

Thanx Casper
Um you mean take it easy on the casework? Or the portable finishing up in general?
I did that with the audio pic to show how I came up with the audio cable idea and such, also what I did wrong first and got no sound because of it.
Lol, yeah thanx for the tip, hailrazer
I have seen how heat shrink is used and such, my local electronic store has heat shrink tubes and I saw how it is applied on. I'll grab some tubes when I go to the store on Thursday.
Can I use a simple hair dryer at strength of 1 or 2 for shrinking the heat shrink tube or I need to use a heat gun specifically?

I sprayed the back of the case 3 times (10min each time):
Now it matches the entire case and has a great color overall the case (front & back)
Still working on the recharging of the 7800mah pack. More on that soon...
