That might be why mine was outputing -1.5V on that one pin and yours didn't :)
I think it outputted 12V, 5V, 1.8V and -1.5V. Maybe some other but I can't remember :)

yeah that's what I was thinking too :)............probably different versions :?.......
anyway, sorry I missed the chat guys, but I was busy all day working on making the GCp playable :).......there aren't any batteries in it and I still have to add in the z button but techinally, I can play the GCp :)!!!!!!!!!!! now if you'll excuse me, I have some catching up on GC games I haven't been able to play because of this darn thing (too bad it's not completely done :()
Without games my life would have no meaning.
Well, I guess it would, but it would be a lot less fun!!!!!!!

actually, if you're worried about money, it should go N64-SNES-GC, as N64s now are cheaper than SNESs........

and now for some news on the GCp:.........today I quickly added an 11.1v @2.2Ah battery pack(3 of my Li-poly batteries in series) to the GCp and now it's playable AND fully portable :D!!!!!!!!!!
can't wait to show off the prototype to my friends and the guys at EB games :)..........
since I've got midterms this week, I won't be able to finish the GCp until saturday, but at least I can still play it in the meantime :)!!!!!

Edit: I added a 3.6v @ 2.1 Ah battery pack (three NiMh AAs) in series with the 11.1v pack to get the full 14.8v :)!!!!!! onw I can play for about an hour, althoughreally it's just so that the battery desn't die before I go to show it off ;).....

oooooh... *drool*

I would recommend a clean up and one last coat of paint... looks like you got a little bit of grease when working on it. Don't forget about some silver trim :)

You can see the light radiating from the screen like it's an angel :shock:
hmm.... *thinks of what an angel would look like if it were a piece of electronics*

My reaction all the way. Clean it up a bit and it would be gorgeous!

actually, a lot of that gunk on it is from the electric tape that used to hold the back plate on :P....I'm definitely gonna clean it up before I actually can call it finished, and then maybe I'll do a paint job on it :).

[quote="after this, I]since I'm in the putting up pictures mood :P I think I'll put up another one :). here's the back plate (once again, enjoy :)):
Image
the reason the controller board isn't in the case yet is because I haven't had time to cut the hole in the back plate yet for it....also, I plan on making a cover for the disc drive, although this will hinder the GCp's use as a hypnotizer and a pizza cutter ;)....also, I'll clean up the back when I'm completely finished :)
and that thing which my burnt and scarred fingers are covering is the fan.....it has to protrude a bit because the case isn't big enough to have the whole thing inside....since it's partly outside I don't have to cut any holes on the side to allow air in, though :).[/quote]

yeah, but like I said before it's only temporary as I'll soon make a cover for the disc drive :).
