Noah7's First GCp, the LCube! WIP

[Noah]

So, I'm just waiting on my GC from Sony, then I can start.
This is a Birthday present for my sister, and her Birthday is the end of December, so I hope I can finish this by then. I'll be avoiding the wiikey option, since this is my first GCp, plus I asked her and she wants to be able to use discs. I'll really start to work on this as soon as I finish my N64p, which should be in a week or so. I hope.

It's on its way. Good luck, Noah7.

 

[Noah]

Thanks.

Just bought a ZN-40 from Zeturi, so that's what I'll be using for the case.

 

[SonyQrio]

Nice. I just realized that this sounds funny.

I just bought a GameCube from Sony.

Hah, should have put the last part of your name, but I was too lazy I guess.

-Hello, this is Sony Computer Entertainment of America. How can I help you today?
-I'd like to buy a GameCube.
-(long pause) Sir, the GameCube is a Nintendo product, and it has not been produced in over four years. However, our Playstation 3 offers a superior experience and is readily available.
-Uhhhhh.... (line clicks off)

I received my GC today, but it didn't come with a power port. Since this is my first GCp, I'll need all the help I can get.
So, how should I got about wiring up power?

 

[Noah]

While I wait for someone to give me a suggestion, I wired up a 57 block (I think) memory card to slot A, which is going to be internal. However, slot B will be on the portable, so you can transfer saves, etc.
EDIT: Memory card was wired backwards.

 

[SonyQrio]

You can use zenloc's custom regs. I would have given you a power board, btw, but I didn't have one.

 

[Noah]

Okay, so I got everything the GC needs for power, but I don't have the front of the GC with the controller ports, etc. When I go to power it on, I get a flash on the screen, but nothing comes up. What else does the GC NEED to run?
EDIT: I don't have a BIOS battery wired up, could that be the problem?

 

[Noah]

So, I've been tempted to wire up an SD card slot so homebrew can run off of the GC, like SS did with his first GCp. Anyone have any diagrams on where to wire it up to? My guess would be the DD connector.

So everything is wired up and working, but I hardwired a memory card into slot A, and it's giving me the "The object in slot A cannot be used" error. Is there a way to fix this, becuase I just used the memory card before I wired it all up, and it worked.

 

[ShockSlayer]

Probably wired it backwards

 

[Noah]

Nope, and don't refer to the pictures up top, I redid it because it was backwards then.

 

[SonyQrio]

Hmm, I got that error as well on my other board. I was never able to fix it, though. Also, have you gotten your GC to power up yet? What are you using? Zenoc's custom regs or the original board?

 

[Noah]

Original board, I've got a fan wired up also, but nothing else besides that.
