that looks really awesome, man. what color are you doing for the buttons?

 

[nuke]

probably black.

 

[nuke]

Ok, drilled my vents, shoulder buttons, SD card slots, power, WKF button, and a headphone jack. One last time, should I do a two tone or not?

 

[unicycler17]

yes

 

[Mat]

Any progress on this?! I actually got myself a couple of those cases and plan on doing quite similar!

 

[nuke]

Finally, a update.

I really like how more people are soldering directly to the wiikey mobo
Good job!

I honestly find it to be SO MUCH easier than using the cable with Ashens method (no offense master Ashen).

I can get the wiikey to work on the first try soldering directly to the board and timing myself, I can do it in a half hour.

 

[nuke]

Bump, I just got my new board, cut it, and it doesnt work...

EDIT: HUGE PICS FTW

 

[zack]

Nice work! Couple questions.
1. In the first pic, what are those large yellow wires attached to the components in the middle of the board? I've seen that done a few times now and I have no idea what they're for.
2. Where did you get your case? How much did it cost? Or perhaps it was a sample?

They are power wires.



Nuke, what exactly is not working? Do the chips get hot?

 

[nuke]

Yea chips get pretty hot, and the AV chip gets pretty hot as well. I tried getting video from a bunch of places, and I just cant seem to get a signal.

 

[lyberty5]

I may sound stupid but maybe try and get audio, that way you'll know for sure your board's dead

 

[nuke]

Mounted my screen, ABXY, volume controls and the 3DS sticks. Will start working on the other half soon.

Got my wiikey, memcards and SD gecko working!

[Ashen]

Nice job man, I knew you could do it.

 

[FierceDeity]

Im glad your gamecubes stopped giving you trouble, it looks great. Dang that memcard is big though.

 

[nuke]

Thanks guys! And yea, that memcard is huge. But eh, I dont need that much space anyway.

 

[nuke]

Hmm, Im having some problems with SD gecko. When I load up swiss, it says "loading from slot B" or something, and just doesnt go any further than that. I waited like 2 minutes and still nothing. I know my wiring is good, my card it formatted fat32 and its 16gb.

 

[nuke]

Triple post, Yeah!
Got it to work, just a loose wire.
