To get to the heatsink, i want to trimm it just like you did here: https://www.gc-forever.com/forums/download/file.php?id=3132 Hope that this will cool down the guce enough, but i saw this kind of trim many times so i guess it's fine. But how did you cut it down so nicely? i just got a dremel so i g...

Re: First Gamecube Portable - Worklog

All that stuff you listed for the batteries looks good, Just make sure to wire them properly when you get all of it. If you don't know, its always best to ask in the case of working with these types of batteries. That case also looks pretty nice. :D Great! Thanks :) You don't need to install an aud...

Re: First Gamecube Portable - Worklog

Yea, what i ment is to combine 4 Packs, 2 in serial and the 2 and 2 in parallel so i would get double mAh and double voltage. Yea i was thinking about Battery packs, too. The bad thing about batterys is just, if they are cheap, they suck and if they are great, they are just to expensive to "pla...

Thanks :) These packs are looking good.. Even if the most supplyers don't tell how much mAh they have.. I saw one about 2000mAh.. so i would need 4, to get to 14.8V and 4000mAh.. which should be fine for the beginning... What does "reconfigure" mean? I guess i can't just solder 2 in serial...

Make sure device is on Master all the time and not CS or Slave. Yes, Sir! Try using 40/80pin see if it makes any difference?

Re: Bluechip V9 IDE-EXI Error

I would say your cables are too long. that could be why the games arent loading. by the way on your bluechip are still parts that have to be desoldered. The cable is about 30cm.. Also I checked the parts, seems to be ok, the ones that were connected to the importent lines where removed. _Nold_, you...
