gc-forever - Gamecube/Wii Forums

Thanks for posting this; it looks like exactly what I want to do but on a Japanese Cube (so I can edit isos). I wasn't sure before if a Wiikey could be installed without a WODE or something else.

I am a newb at soldering and I tried today to install a region switch on a Japanese Cube and failed because I hadn't realised just how small everything is. (I did manage to convert it to an US Cube now which I needed anyway!) This project looks a little easier except for the FFC cable, but at least I can replace the cable and try again instead of messing up the PCB.

no, not at all. believe me. a region switch is a piece of cake compared to this

I meant easier in the sense that the soldering points on the PCB are bigger. This is certainly a much more complicated project, but hopefully more forgiving of mistakes. After one error with the region switch I was left with nothing to connect the wire to, so I just laid it across the two points and soaked it in a bit more solder. I should have got a fine soldering iron and a magnifier when I saw how small the soldering points were, but I was too impatient!

here is an other fusion cube from me:







specs:
integrated ide/exi
integrated 80GB IDE HDD
integrated 256MB memorycard
integrated wiikey fusion


Only waiting for DMA support.

looks great! do you have any "topless" pics?

added two more pics from the inside. only the memorycard isnt visible because its soldered on the bottom side of the mainboard.

reset button wired up to the WKF?

no, I put another switch with hot glue directly under the reset button of the gamecube. when I press the reset button both happens. the gamecube resets and the wiikey fusion too.

Looks awesome man! I love the reset button trick. Does that allow the GC to "autoboot" to the wiikey menu after the reset then?

sometimes, not at every reset.

very freakin' nice!
how do you access the hdd?

yeah thats the problem. I have to open the case everytime when I want to put new things on it. maybe swiss gets in the future file browser then I could copy things from the sd card of the Wiikey via the IDE/EXI to the HDD.

But until this happens I have to open the case, disconnect the IDE/EXI and connect the IDE/USB adapter.

you can copy files in Swiss, just IDE-EXI write support is buggy

ohhh cool thats something I didnt knew before. So hope sometimes the bugs get corrected. But thats a realy good feature.

FTP inside swiss would be amazing, too

i just use usb while the gc is turned off.

how do you use usb?

Y-IDE cable, a switch (toggles ide-exi/ide-usb mode) and an usb2ide adapter.

@infact
could you post pictures of yours and mybe explain how to set a switch for using a usb2ide adapter? I didnt get any answer of my PM to you.

how can I do this Emu? With the last revision of Swiss I cant load my IDE/EXI for copy games from it to my SD Card of the Wiikey fusion ant the other way round.

MRTN's super hot manlove Melee sessions left Bud wanting more when he got home. This is what I came up with to fulfill Bud's desires.

Not really much Bud specified besides wanting a platinum cube, and having the Wiikey's SD slot mounted the way Hail did his. I didn't have any decent platinum cases, so I took the sexiest indigo case I had and gave it some new life.

I'm glad I've got an awesome portablizing pal to hook me up with a kickass GameCube

I can't wait to get it!

damn ashen...every time you post pics i tend to look more at your clean and tidy workspace...
so organized...


when i organized my stuff i cant find anything....
i leave everything scattered all over and still cant find anything...


nice paint job...

nice GC - MRTN looked like fun.

I need to add that 2 disc support already for Wiikey Fusion

No rush man. The amount of support already there in Swiss is amazing enough.

Thx guys!

nice mod and also nice video of mrtn! lloks fun
