Ok, Here's my notes on it:
The way I labeled the pins do NOT corrospond with the way they are labeled on the board. I didn't notice the labels until it was too late![Surprise 2 :o :o](http://forums.modretro.com/smilies/bh_icon_surprised.gif)
The point of this is to find solder pads so its easier to extend it without bridging the points.
Picture One: DD mobo plug's pins (plug desoldered)
Picture Two: Solder pads for DD mobo pins (bottom of board)
Picture Three: GC plug pins (top of board behind memcard port 2)
Pins 5 and 22 on the second pic I could NOT find a solder pad for(without it being very complicated). Just solder to the pins that go to the plug, or the holes that the trace goes through. I did all this because it makes it easier to get good connections and a good learning experience for knowledge on which points I do NOT have to solder wires to.![Mr. GREEEEEEEN :mrgreen: :mrgreen:](http://forums.modretro.com/smilies/bh_icon_mrgreen.gif)
The best solder pad for pin 23 is shown in picture one. Follow trace on Picture 2. It goes through the hole.![Razz 2 :p :p](http://forums.modretro.com/smilies/bh_icon_razz.gif)
This reduces mobo to mobo wires from 32 to 21 wires![Big Grin :D :D](http://forums.modretro.com/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif)
Connect these pins on DD mobo and GC mobo:
ALL GND: 21 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32
OTHER: 17 18 19 20
Also, You may want to download the pictures to zoom in and get a better look.
