anything can be done with the designs...they work in almost any configuration imaginable...


the difference is the designs intended application VS user modified application...

Very true the dvd had to be disconnected no matter what. One question I wanted to ask when hooking up the power to the Wii drive there is 3 ground wires can I just connect one of them or does all of them need to be connected?

just 1 is fine...
but with that blob of glue on the drive, you covered up your only hope for audio streaming

I thought the mega wire goes on the wasp from the host side to the dvd side
And anyway I can get some of that glue off

that pic your are talking about shows 1 way to do it...
essentially, just jumper Wii drive pin 28 with GC mainboard pin 1
plus adjust the settings

So can't I just jump pin 28 on DVD side wasp to pin 1 on GC mobo since its just straight connection to that point?

yes you can, but what is easier?
soldering a wire to a huge pad on the DVD drive board or trying to solder to an FFC pin??
