Hopefully

The screen is just for testing and not really a part of the project

Tell me 3!

Oh, the joys of DD soldering. Hahah

Luckily, those components seem to be rather resistant to heat

Tracing lines,
preferably before you cut it up ;P

I sent a message about it a couple of hours ago,
but the more reports the better.

Damn.. why is this wode so f-ing expensive!!! I can't afford it as a poor student... I know :/ I can't really decide which one of these I'll go with. lower price, smaller size, less needed voltages VS better/cheaper storage options, better compability I hope the Wiikey guys can get Luigi's Mansion ...

Great!

Yeah, some pics would be nice, like a size comparison with the Fusion

Nice!

How many of these are you planning to make?

WIP

NTSC U CPU-30 board tested and working. No freezing.

I have only tested it with Mario Party 6 since I don't have that many NTSC isos (yet ).
But I guess if one's working, all others should as well.

Chibi-Robo!
Resident Evil Disc1
IKARUGA

Both Resident Evil and Ikaruga has streaming audio,
could it have something to do with that?

No idea about Chibi-Robo! though...

Glad to hear things are working for you now Bearteam. I will have the chance to test it all out soon myself. My wiikeys should be here Monday or Tuesday as Foundmy finally got off their asses when I e-mailed them directly instead of using their ticket system and started talking about fraudulent CC ...

That case is looking good! Bearteam: The first time I tried the Fusion it froze at the boot animation after selecting a game. Turned out to be a bad connection between pin 29 and ground. Maybe there's something wrong with your switch? If you've got more of them you could replace it and see if that w...

Nope, no errors yet.

I'm going through my game library right now to test it more thoroughly

That's the crazynation DI(N)Y GC HDD project :D Edit: BTW is buyfromtaobao.com a ripoff? because 180 yen = €1,57 and they charge me €28,62... Could it be Chinese yuan instead of yen? 180 yuan is around €20. Got my Fusion today. Works perfectly :D Don't know if you already know this, but I noticed y...

Good to hear they can run on 5V
Was a bit worried about the 9-12v rating.

Zen: What are the other sticks taken from? Just to get an idea of the size

Have you tried Wii Game Manager?
Apprently a completely rewritten version of WBFS Manager.
I'm just grasping for straws here. Have no idea if it would work...

List of games using streaming audio if anyone's intrested
Not too many well known games, apart from Zelda CE, Starfox, Pikmin 2, Eternal Darkness and some others.
I can totally sacrifice that for the space savings

How can I get 1.9V and 3.3V from GC mobo? If you have an older cube with a separate regulator board, you can get 3.3/3.4V and 1.9V from it. The purple pins carries 3.3 and the yellow ones 1.9V. Pictures from Kasar's GCP Guide http://kyorune.com/modding/file.php?art=84&file=26 http://kyorune.com...

Those are indeed some compact analogs!

Hopefully, mine will arrive tomorrow. I'm quite certain they are not as small as yours, but hopefully somewhere close.

Do those use use the same concept as regular sticks with 2 potentiometers, or is it some other ingenious system?

Even smaller then!

So you've also found small analogs?
Wonder if it could be something similar to what is on it's way to me
Or do you have contacts in the NGP development team?

Right, so you'll be cutting roughly along the serial number box on the A-side then?

That's gonna be one small board

Great!

Ordered one right now

Is it the CPU 20 board which can be slimmed down more than others? Can't remember...

:O :O :O :O :O :O :O...so small....
wow
this is amazing... kudos to all of you guys!

edit: this thing is updateable via the SD reader, right? No separate programmer needed?
