Magic Man's GameCube portable, The SGCP

[The Magic Man]

This is a work log of my SGCP project. Stands for Swag GameCube Portable. I have lots of progress so far. I'm using a wiikey Fusion and a custom heating made from a normal gc heat sink and a ps2 cooling fan. This thing is going to be housed in a zn40 case. Here is a picture of what I have so far.


Features:
5 inch wide screen.
2nd player port.
Stereo speakers.
Headphone jack.
Internal memory card.
SD gecko.
Double tact switch trigger buttons.

Do you think this cable is to long for the wiikey Fusion?

Do you think this cable is to long for the wiikey Fusion?

no, this cable is an acceptable length. i utilized an ffc like this on a past wiikey gamecube

...that name has to go.

 

[The Magic Man]

Well the only other name I could think of would be stealing shock slayers name. ZN-GCP. Unless anyone else has any ideas.

This probably is a dumb question but if i flash Swiss auto boot, do I still need to use that normally closed switch on pin 29

 

[Blargaman91]

No. Just permanently ground pin 29.

 

[The Magic Man]

OK thanks

No. Just permanently ground pin 29.

Blargaman91, rather than posting a direct "no," dont you think you should at least explain the potential future drawbacks from not installing a P29 switch so he can decide if adding a switch or leaving it out is the best option for him...

that is very similar to those who would tell people they dont need to install an SD gecko...you remember what happened later on to everyone without SD Gecko?

 

[Blargaman91]

I was going to mention that still installing a switch in case you need it is handy but my posts tend to get lengthy and I was simply trying to avoid that. I've never needed that switch myself so it didn't feel pressing that I mention it.

 

[The Magic Man]

I just cut the holes for the controller cutouts. I epoxed them and tomorrow I will bondo it.

 

[The Magic Man]

So I have 4 3.7v cells. I was wondering what regulator I should use to charge and to use for the GameCube.

 

[The Magic Man]

So I bondo-ed it so now I'm going to spray paint it.

 

[The Magic Man]

Sorry for the lack of updates but I need to know, is this wire thick enough for the wiikey Fusion besides the 3.3V and the ground.
