Got the screen a few weeks ago. Haven't really done much since then. Been real busy with school things. Hopefully after finals I'll be able to get this thing done. Will update with progress as it happens.

Just ordered this screen . It is a decent price and according to lexxion83 over on BH: Few things about the above screen: 1. 800x480 resolution. Looks really good even with composite video 2. Can run off 7.4V no problem. 3. Top viewing angle is kind of small (about 25 degrees) It has 4:3 option so y...

Shopping for a screen and it is more than a bit time consuming. :lol: Has anyone found a good cheapish 7" screen that runs on 7.4V or less? I've given up on finding one in 4:3. I'll settle for an adjustable ratio at this point. Looking at this one http://www.ebay.com/itm/New-7-TFT-LCD-Digital-C...

Scored this bad boy(?) today. https://www.gc-forever.com/forums/download/file.php?id=3150 Four bucks all day baby. I wish I remembered to take pictures before I started to take it apart. Oh well, you guys get the main jist. I don't think everything is going to fit inside the DVD player case like I w...

Bumpidy-bump bump Haven't really worked on this at all the past few weeks. Been busy with school n' stuff. Still haven't figured out my battery question either btw. I looked online and from what I can tell, it's either a temperature sensor for the battery (although I'm not really sure how that would...

Ok so I finally got around to testing out the wiikey and.... https://www.gc-forever.com/forums/download/file.php?id=3158 Success! Here is my set up at the moment: https://www.gc-forever.com/forums/download/file.php?id=3159 And here is just showing that it finished the update to 1.5 https://www.gc-fo...

Even better news! Just checked and all my traces have continuity!

@megalomaniac I was going to scratch off and connect a wire to the wiikey itself and connect that to gamecube ground. Figure that would be much easier than connecting each of those traces to each other or to ground separately.

Alright, after three or four tries over two days I finally got the jumper wires soldered to the wiikey FCC. I'll tell ya, it's a lot harder to solder to those tiny traces than I would have thought. I had to keep cutting the fcc back and starting again. :lol: https://www.gc-forever.com/forums/downloa...

Update: Got the regs wired up the other night.



My parents got my batteries and wiikey to me today as I'm dorming at school. I'm going to start soldering wires to the wiikey FFC pretty soon. Ill keep you all updated

Alright. I was worried that I'd have to do that. Was planning on getting a screen in the first place, just wanted to see if I could use this as I have it already. Thanks for the info. Time to get shopping

@emu_kidid I don't think it's the same one, although they might be similar which gives me hope. This is the one I'm using http://www.amazon.com/Mintek-MDP-1810-8-Inch-Portable-Player/dp/B000087QPQ How did you connect yours? It wasn't really clear from your thread. @Ashen yeah I was thinking the same...

Got my samples in the mail yesterday. I'll be putting my regs together as soon as I get a hold of some perf board (tomorrow hopefully) In the mean time, I have something I was hoping someone could help with. I have a portable DVD player that accepts AV in so I was planning on using that screen (and ...

Ahhh thanks again hail. Couldn't find that. Once I get my samples in the mail, I'll start work on that (and the work log) and post some pictures.

Thanks for the reply hail. I just bought these batteries that you suggested here on ModRetro not too long ago. But now I have a new question. Two actually. First of all, for the custom regulators, I was planning on using zenloc's custom regs from here and so I obviously don't need the regulator on m...

While I'm waiting for my wiikey to arrive, I figured I'd start looking for batteries and start planning out the rest of the portable. I'm looking at these batteries right now: http://www.batteryspace.com/Polymer-Li-ion-Battery-7.4V-5000mAh-37Wh-side-by-side-with-PCB.aspx with this charger: http://ww...

Thanks for the quick replies everyone. @andzlay So you'd recommend it then? And yeah I know I need an adapter. I was thinking of getting this one http://www.newhavendisplay.com/nhdffc36-p-2476.html That look good? @Zainuintel Yeah I saw that in a few places. Where do people usually get them? Can't c...

Hello everyone. After lurking around here, SSforums, and benheck forums for a while I've decided I'm ready to start my first project! *applause* :D Anyways, my plan is to first remove the DD from my gamecube, then put what's left, along with batteries into a shorter case and put a screen on top that...
