Hello everyone,
I just need a few questions answering so i have all the information i need when i start putting things together. If anyone can help with any of the problems a reply would be much appreciated.
Screen Help - So i ordered a battery pack and i was wondering if there is a 12v line on the GameCube motherboard. I know there is on the others but I'm using the motherboard with the regulator built in.
Battery Saving Help - I also need to know if using a step down regulator will save me battery. If i do use this i will be taking the power from my 12v 6800mAh battery pack and putting it into the regulator and stepping it down to 7.4v as i have read the GameCube can run fine on this voltage. Will this save me battery? If it doesn't i will not bother. If not is there a way to save battery in my situation without making things too complicated.
Component Cable Help - One more thing. Im about to order a new screen as my old one was rubbish. I really would like to use a GameCube component cable but they are way too expensive. I remember seeing someone use a Wii component cable instead does this work? Does it improve the quality or is it not worth it? If not is there another way i can improve the picture quality without spending a ridiculous amount of money. A different cable..?
