What kind of GCp guide should I write?

Post by Gamelver »

LIke I said in the other thread on the GCp guide, here's another poll on what kind of guide you guys would like best :). Choose the "full how-to" if you would like to know the exactly how I built my GCp, or choose "overall GCp guide" option to learn about basic mods that'll help you out on your GCp :)!!!
Without games my life would have no meaning.
Well, I guess it would, but it would be a lot less fun!!!!!!!

I voted for a full one. You mentioned that you want to write one, so go ahead and do it. You'll make some newbies very happy.

I'm for the overall guide.

As fun as it would be to make one just like yours.... I'm the kind of person that wants whatever I build to be my own and have things that distinguse it from the others in the crowd.

well, some people rely on the guide quite a bit. If they can and want to, I'm sure they would do their own thing, and use the guide as a general thing.

yup, even if I do end up writing a guide for a GCp like mine, there will still be a lot of info that you can use (like controller pinouts, power board pinouts, etc.) for any future GCp projects :).....so Sparkfist, whichever one I write, you're guarantedd to win :)!!!!!!!!!!!

Full. I would benefit more from a full one. Like a case and stuff. Plus, I can then know what I have to do so when I make another, it can be made without a guide and more original. If anyone wants an overall guide, just skim it.

Like I said in your last thread, a full guide would be more helpful (and interesting). I mean, I have a NGC collecting dust right next to me, and it would make an awesome addition to my portable collection.

So, I vote for full-guide.

well, looks like I'll be writing a full guide :).......as previously stated, those of you who wanted a general guide can simply skim through the guide for useful info about GCp building :). I'll probaby get started on it after the GCp is completely done :).
