gc-forever - Gamecube/Wii Forums

Hello everyone. Newbie here! My name is Zeph, and I like modding and hacking things. I've created my own mini Arduino consoles, hacked roms and evan made Minecraft mods. But creating a GameCube portable is probably one of the hardest things I've attempted. I may ask more questions in the future but what I need help with now in particular is soldering the WiiKey Fusion to the GameCube. Most people, from what I've seen, fallow this method or similar:


However, I want to wire the WiiKey directly to the GameCube and I can't find a tutorial anywhere explaining exactly in detail how to do that. I've seen plenty of people do it, but not actually show how they did it. All I want to know is what connections need to be made from [here] to [here]:



What do these numbers mean?
I think I know how to do it... Are the "1,3,5,7,9,11,13,15,17,19,21,22,23,24,25,26,27,28" 18 pins on the GC motherboard refering to the pins on the WiiKey? I want to make sure... But I just dont know!


Can someone please explain? Thanks!

You have it figured out already. Last two pics show what you need. The numbers on the GC motherboard correspond to the wiikey pins.

So I would connect pin 1 to the first pin of The WiiKey? Then skip pin 2 and then do the same with pin 3? I just wanted to make sure.

Yes the numbers on the GameCube side match to the WASP/wiikey fusion pins shown above. I would really recommend checking out badassconsoles.com for a custom made adapter for your wiikey so you don't fuck it up. I'm not trying to say you can't do it but it is very hard to use just wires to install the wiikey into the gamecube

Ok, thank you!

Can't approve more of the megadrive. I tried to solder wires to my own wfk and just failed and almost destroyed the chip.
