WODE+Mega v3= AMAZING!

[Djpannda]

Hi Guy,

I have been following this forum for over a year and I am really amazed on what you guys have done. I bought a WODE. I wanted to do the same thing, but it did not work out has well. I mean I have completely destroyed 3 gamecube. Luckily, I have been finding them at thrifts stores for under 10$. I basically gave up until I saw the news for badassconsoles. I bought a mega v3 and I have to report, that it is too easy with that. it only took me 3 days from start to finish! It is my first completely finished one, so it is still a bit messy.


The beginning of the Dream.


A Big pile of mess


At least it runing


I used the GC lid switch and momentary tact switch


routed the wires from the back


Finishing it up


I have a idea


I love my dremel.


A Glue Gun and some hope



Wires being attached


YAY, still works


Close up


Filled the holes and used black decals


I used a momentary tact switch but I used it as always open and attached it so that when the lid closed the switch is pressed.
I decided to not use the SD and only the usb HHD attached on the side with velco.

haha!!!
i like that look....
gives me a few ideas....hopefully one day ill have time to work on my own consoles
3 days for a full build is pretty good....and wode too, the most challenging install


that last pic looks like a HDD to the right covering the vent???

Nice mod, good job finishing it in three days !

[emu_kidid]

looks very nice!

[keropi]

excellent!
btw, does the wode allow audio streaming like a real disc?

[novenary]

It doesn't but since it's way better than a WKF from a technical point of view, it could.

What makes the wode so much better?
I mean, apart from the awesome display and button combo.

[megalomaniac]

Only WODE allows proper passthru of audiostreaming
WKF/WASP need MEGAwire mod or similar

It has a fricking ARM CPU on it. The WKF is just an FPGA.

What is needed to get audiostreaming via WODE???

Yea the hdd was coving about Half of the vent. I was playing for about 3 hours
without any heat issue but still going to move it out of the vent.

It only took 3 days but that is because I spent 4 months doing the wiring in my head and paper
I mainly picked wode because I could attach a harddrive instead of swapping sd cards.

Looks awesome, I guess this means some of the MEGA stuff has started shipping!! I'm excited.

If I read what mega said correctly:

Only WODE allows proper passthru of audiostreaming

You will only get audiostream when using passthrough mode (dvd) via the wode, and not with the wode alone(+hdd).

Just if I interpreted it correctly. Personally no clue.

[novenary]

What I mean is, the WODE has the hardware capabilities, it just needs to be implemented in the firmware.

[Benni]

O.K.!
But i think there will never be a new firmware...
(maybe unoffical but not an offical one...)

[tueidj]

It doesn't have the hardware capabilities since it has no output pin for dvd audio.
