well. this is falling apart. gamecube refuses to run on batteries even at the proper voltage, can't get ahold of lipo batteries, can't get a screen that works with composite, can't get a component cable to use for the screens that I can get. grr. it's always those few things that I don't have on ...

*makes notes for posterity*
I have a polaroid PDM-0722 portable dvd player which I have disassembled. It also has the T100 style chip. it seems that it takes split horizontal and vertical sync, considering for the video in plug it has three prongs, two input, one ground. the audio in is seperate- it ...

ok, I've got my gameboy player disassembled, so I'm going to use it. especially seeing how slim it is. when I get ahold of a multimeter, I'll test for which lines are what, and then test for necessary voltages and see if I can discern what they do. once I get that out of the way, I'll post a diagram ...

I know I can run it off of lower voltages, and I saw the custom regulator stuff. I'm just not confident enough in my soldering ability nor do I have the patience to wait on the stuff to get here. though, with all the crap that I have just laying around, I might be able to find everything I need to ...

ah. that makes no sense to me, but I guess I can understand it a little. I guess this means I'm going to have to make some sacrifice in my budget and/or convince my friend to let me be in debt to him for eternity and have him order me a 14.8 v liPo battery pack and charger. speaking of which, on one ...

no, no, not the gba screen. 16 bit screen + 128 bit system=no. can't be done without killing any/all useful functionality. anyways, I was just going to steal buttons from the gba. the shoulder switches and start and select button, if nothing else. oh, and I have two gba SPs that I still have to open ...

11000 mah rating. both are 6 volt lantern batteries, but one is an eveready super heavy duty and the other is a rayovac... I will look up any differences and report back to you.

soon, I will have to begin soldering things... my hands aren't very steady-- in fact, I have a chronic disorder of some ...

ah, thank you, zeflis. I figured as much... the only problem with the rev c boards is that there's no digital a/v out... oh, and I'm making a note of all the different model numbers of each part of the gcns in my project log that I'll be typing up and releasing along with the final pictures whenever ...

STATUS UPDATE!!!
ok, ordered PSone screen (and psone and all that goes with them) for 99 cents(no idea. don't ask. no one paid any attention to it, I guess.) bought two new gamecubes off of some friends (total gcn count:3. type 1 gamecubes: 1 type 3 gamecubes: 2) ordered the optical cable extension ...

Hahah, oh dear, it seems the goddess of Irony has followed me, for all of the gca project people-- gca sp, gca, and one who's gcp will look like a gba-- have posted in one place.
anyways, as for locale, I'm a US resident. I'm getting one of my friends to order me all the parts I need.

from now on ...

I can definitely confirm the "blurry" aspect of the screen. one game that I know of is Animal Crossing- while playing any of the nes games, you have to turn the brightness all the way down, or else you won't even be able to see what's going on, and even then it's a bit blurry.
SSBM has the same ...

ok, for my first console project and portable, I have decided to portafy my nintendo Gamecube.
being the cheap and impatient <choice curse word here> that I am, rather than order/buy the gamebit to take off the case the right way, I just slaughtered the holes so I wouldn't have to worry about the ...
