Sorry guys been busy. But the Shuriken video v2 is confirmed working perfectly with or without the higher rated caps doesnt seem to make any change. So I have 3 ready to go and with finish the other 3 when the first batch is gone then I will be done with this project at this time. Maybe i will make ...

Must be nice, but I actually like soldering by hand

Of course, how else would I put it together

I have a few questions about the WASP modchip. I understand that it can be used in a GC with a MEGAdrive board adapter. 1. Will it play all titles including games with audio streaming? 2. Can I have a GC or Wii DVD drive and WASP together in my GC? If so what other parts do I need? 3. If I have a W...

ordered v3 boards managed to cut 10mm of the length not as much as I wanted, will see how it fits into the cube hopefully no hacking of the case this time round. video_v3.png God, I do think it was already small but if you would just put the HDMI at a right angle you could save space and not have e...

I'm going to try reflowing the pins on the HDMI connector when I get home from work. I doubt it'll make any difference, but it can't hurt to try. I have pluto hooked up to my wasp gamecube and i don't have any problems with that setup. Like mega has stated the pluto has issues with quality control ...

I will post some pics of the board tonight. The jtag writing is on the back of PCB I'm trying to post the pictures but there to big. So I will post them tonight

Maybe you could make the pcb thicker because the IDE EXI I ordered last year from oshpark are thicker then your geckos

I like the red case. I thought these were abandoned nice to see that your still planning for a release it will make a lot of people happy

what value are C7 and C8 ? it looks like 100nF, this is from my website Note: C7 should be 4.7uF and C8 should be 1uF both tantalum type caps to reduce noise. I would really recommend you use those values as they are stated in the datasheet for that vreg (1206 size should fit 16V will do). Ok i wil...

you can get rid of most of those specialized tools and substitute for a nice BFH Whats a BFH? I wish i could get rid of my specialized tools that i use maybe 2-3 times a year. Had to look it up lol it would be nice if all I needed is a big f***ing hammer. I was just saying that when you have everyt...

I said nothing about your skills on that ide-exi pcb...only pointing out a better way to JTAG using a no solder method stay away from q-tips or anything that will leave behind all those strands on the board try using a toothbrush...i prefer soft bristle... ...not the ones that have those massaging ...

watch out with all the solder splatter you have on the board, it could lead to a short somewhere if one of those blobs come loose... remember how your other board blew up? could have been from solder splatter falling and shorting PWR GND Also it might just be the camera angle with light and shadow ...

Here is my build of the gcvideo-lite. Came out ok I want to make it a little neater next time. It really is hard getting the caps and resistors to fit the FPGA and DAC are the easy part of this board.

Hello I'm back from a very busy few weeks. I got fired from my job for running my own business account at my job so I got a new job and making a lot more money. Unfortunately this job has taken most of my free time away but still didn't stop me from my projects. The shuriken video V2 is back from th...

So I am busy with a tiny wii board cut. As of yet I have been able to cut it pretty small while still retaining all of it's functions. Also been able to power it off a custom regulator, 3.3v and 1.2v. See my facebook album for pics on the discovery. https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.9383411...

Finally got around to building my own. Excited about installing in the rest of my cubes. Very nice I just built one lite version last night and it was hard soldering this thing. After comparing both DVI and analog version I can firmly say that picture quality is much better with the DVI/HDMI. I'm s...

A little word of warning to anyone who builds this or buys a Shuriken USB. Do not use geckoloader.exe it will erase your CLPD and your PCB will stop working. I learned this the hard way but thanks to streetwalker making his programming files pubic I was able to reflash the board. In case anyone is w...

I ripped the BCA's using a PC DVD-RW drive even, nothing special just good old DVDInfoPro. Also is it NTSC-U NSMB? I only have PAL. Yeah its a usa copy thanks though. My son and I wanted to play it together last night and I completely forgot about that BCA file the wode needs. Maybe if I burn it to...

Have you actually tried ripping it with cleanrip? The BCA is pretty huge compared to the microscopic pits and lands in the data area, the disc has to practically be snapped in half for it to be unreadable - it's even readable by scanning the disc with a flatbed scanner and running it through an ima...

I'm starting to learn electronics, and thought this would be an excellent personal Project. I've been watching some video tutorials on Yotube but none of them are complete, and also many of them are different one of each other. I'm requesting your help my fellow companions, advice, any step-by-step...

I been looking for the BCA file for my wode to play NSNB on my WODE. Nowhere can I find the file needed to run the game I also want to play the Newer mario bros mod because it a great game maybe the best mod I have ever played. My boss has this BCA file on his WODE hard drive but he is being a dick ...

@Unseen I downloaded the GCvideo-master.zip for the programming files I need but I don't see the .svf in the firmware pack like last time when I built one of these boards and I used a xilinx programmer instead of the lattice programmer. Oh, sorry - seems like I forgot to generate that file. It's no...

@Unseen I downloaded the GCvideo-master.zip for the programming files I need but I don't see the .svf in the firmware pack like last time when I built one of these boards and I used a xilinx programmer instead of the lattice programmer. Last year I flashed the version without SPDIF output because it...

thanks guys as you can probably tell I have had f*ck all time to play with anything at the moment sigh. Really only intending my video board to be a reference design as I didnt like over paying for the pluto baord plus having to wait a month for the slow boat from china to turn up :-( Well your ref...

This is looking good! Could you provide info about the batteries you are using and where you got them? Thanks Sure here you go http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/__19481__Turnigy_4000mAh_Spektrum_Compatible_DX9_DX8_DX7S_Intelligent_Transmitter_Pack.html Just cut the battery down the middle an...
