It's not the Sony screen.

Ok, so the unit is home and I've been playing it. Here's a laundry list of things to fix:

The Y button does not work - I suspect this is a solder joint on the controller pcb.

The C-Stick...somehow I switched the movement in the wiring (!) - up is actually left, right is ...

L and R are more involved than the start or Z. What I do when soldering to traces is to use a sharp blade and scrape the coating off the trace, putting the blade on about a 30 degree angle and scraping away from me towards the end of the trace being exposed.

I took one side of my start button and ...

The screen is an InterAct Mobile Monitor for the PSONE, I'm happy with it so far. Here are a few shady videos of the unit being played by either the wavebird or the built in controller.

The unit is at home today, the next couple of weeks will be for testing purposes - see what needs beefed up, ect.

Will post moar tomorrow when I've had a chance to use it.

kasar has a great guide for making a portable gamecube - I've used a lot of pin out info from the guide.


On rasping, what I did was to use a sharp razor knife to scrape away the protective trace covering. I used the blade on about a 30 degree angle and moved the blade in one direction until I had ...

I'm almost finished, the only connections I have to make are a few switches, the AV and power leads. Here is the front case, I used Krylon satin black.

The install is much further along, some of my mounting points to secure a few items is made of epoxy - small amounts, just enough to hold. I ...

Thanks!

I know I can tell you that a few times the thought 'if you screw this up, it's toast' came to mind. It's clean enough you can insert and remove very easily the board the stick and d-pad are on. There is a small bit of hesitation in the release though, think that is the button rubbing on the ...

Two items stick wiring and an attempt at the dreaded shoulder button. I got the left one installed today!

thats why i was asking

What's the story on that battery? Just a piece of junk?

I got the protection circuit and the charger - all configured for 14.8v charge.

Ahhh, popular battery around here. This is what I went with as well.

Today I wired the memory card and worked on my case - including making a big change to my speaker area. Initially I had tried to make small lines on an angle and have a couple of those lines go deep enough to be used as audio ports. Well, I found a nice little dremel 'router' type bit and though I'd ...

Ok, so now you have a few things to check;

1. Is the battery charged? There may be enough juice to run the fan, but not the rest of the hardware.

2. Double-check your wiring.

3. Maybe you require a larger size wire to make that connection to the switch pcb? I can't really tell - but that looks ot ...

You're going to like those batteries. I purchased the same setup hailrazer did and am glad I did.
