Re: Gamecube Jewel Restoration Guide

Only thing to note is to not polish the sticker jewel and only polish the jewel that is a thick plastic piece that actually pops out.

Re: GCPlug Information - Inc firmware updates

Sounds about right. The firmware was complied by different people as it wasn't being complied and posted in the main repo until some later 3.0 firmware. It may not be a deliberate modification and it's possible the only difference would be the HWID number that was chosen doesn't match up with what's...

Re: GCPlug controlled by gamepad?

The pin def wasn't in the main repo until 3.0something IIRC. It's possible whoever complied the firmware has specified something different. If you have a hardware flasher, I'd update the firmware first.

Hello,
Did you find the answer?
I integrated a gcplug in the GameCube and I would like to know if it was possible to control by the controller.
Should work, but it's pin 48.

Re: Concerns About Recently Acquired Pre-Modded DOL-001

The clock should maintain time correctly for a few minutes after shutdown, but a dying battery can cause the dates to be incorrectly retained. I assume you don't have a multi-meter to check voltages? See if you can find controller port module with new battery installed, it's probably easier than to ...

Re: IPL settings (language and clock) are not getting saved. Battery already replaced

Clean the areas with isopropyl alcohol before trying to take measurements. The battery is connected to Pin 1 of the front panel socket. Ensure you are getting battery voltage on the circle test point under R16 (might be R15?, it's left of C74). R16 looks dodgy. It should have low resistance, a few h...

But a DIY build XenoGC with a bigger flash memory, would that work then?? It's source code is release so you could, but there's not much point as it's a drive chip so it probably can't boot anything unless there's a disc in the drive. You're better off developing a IPL replacement chip or just wait...

It's really clever, you can put the device into update mode from the OSD. Then you run the updater.dol - this homebrew actually encodes the new firmware into the video signal. The FPGA grabs the new code and updates the firmware. I think I recall some very early component to HDMI adapter dongles fo...
