I had been helping with the case design from the initial stages. All of the "clamshell" versions felt a bit... soft, on the top half. The early prototypes I have here would not survive being walked/stepped on. As for the SATA option I agree with MegaIO 100%. Though I think we should group ...

You do realize i have pretty bad short term memory problems, and you should be well aware of my personal "life issues" at the moment (megaIOManiac). Cut me some slack buddy, right now I dont even have a home to call my own. I am trying to make due with borrowed space and borrowed time. I d...

in order to understand the benefits of the DVD Port Replacement board, here is a brief overview of the different options available to connect a WKF/WODE to GC... DVD Port Replacement replacement board ~ maybe 15$ - 20$ price still unknown remove the original DVD port and solder in Port Replacement....

Heh, padawan, cute. Ive been into electronics engineering longer than some of the members here have been breathing ;} 20 Years and counting. Been into it since I was a wee lil tyke. God, that makes me feel so old... I ordered a WKF, its on the way. I just need to procure the FPC Hood, good friend Mo...

Information overload, but in a good way. I have been spending more time on the Wiki and, well, this was the issue: http://www.gc-forever.com/wiki/index.php?title=Using_a_Wii_drive_replacement_on_a_GameCube#Making_the_connections_between_the_systems - the links for the FFC Breakout boards are broken....

I have been doing my homework since my last post. But still no real answers. From what I gather the FFC is a 32 pin 0.5mm pitch. But I still have no resources on what kind of connector hooks to it. I will be browsing various part vendors like Molex to see if they have anything suitable. I see some g...

Would anyone be willing to link to a few URLs that have detailed information on hooking up a Wii Drive Emulator to a GC? From what I have put together via various sources, you dont need to hook up the original drive to the WKF modchip and can run entirely from the SD Card dongle. I know the WKF was ...

I have been wanting a Wii Key Fusion for my driveless Gamecube to get it back to life. I have seen info on getting the original WKF devices working on a GC with some serious soldering and modding needed which I am quite comfortable doing. However, I can only find WKF 3.0 Clones available for sale. C...

There may be a bit of confusion here. When I mean "GBA Player" I mean modding the original and retaining the GBA Player functionality. There is not enough room inside to add a USB-IDE bridge. You aslo need to cut away quite a bit of structural supports and screw posts. The idea of an "...

Im currently fighting some nasty physical issues with health. My spine and left leg are messed up really bad (as the regulars on IRC know) on top of that I split from my g/f and im moving back to my hometown. I did some early phase tests. Its not possible to fit anything but a 1.8" HDD into a G...

The BBA/Modem slot does have a 12V bus. As of this posts' date MegaIOManiac is making a new batch of IDE-EXTs and we have been discussing the potential of a "GBA Player" style which does seem to be entirely possible. With some help of my buddies over at the BSoDtv community we should be ab...

Its like sex, but this time, I'm involved! HUZZAH!

Thanks liquitt. Its a bit of a surprise to me, I have helped Emu_ back in the day beta testing some of his work. Its nice to see familiar names I have fond memories of. Love working with stuff like this. I admit I lack in the coding department but I make up for it with hardware ability. Life is hect...

Well the topic asks it all. I am an avid hardware hacker and always loved mucking about with my game consoles. I have a few spare Cubes' I would like to dust off and play around with. My in-use GC Is pimped out with a ViperGC Extreme with USB expansion. I dont think my memory serves me correctly but...
