Finished Neon Controller

Post by Xlent »

I finished the Neon controller i said i was going to make a while ago...

Heres the link to the pictures: http://www.xlentgames.com/glow.htm

it may look crappy now, with the tape (lol) but im going to get a small box to replace it.

It was fun to make, cost me less than an Afterglow Controller, and i got to practice some soldering, so im happy.

Tell me what you think of it.

By the way, it looks WAY better in person.

I would suggest disconnecting the rumble motor if the controller has one so you don't blow a fuse. :)

I'd say try not to draw over 500mA. I'm not sure how much the fuses on the GC can handle though.

if the rumblers are disconnected and your drawng from the yellow wire you SHOULD be fine with the amount your useing

and I think that was already throughley covered in the last thread jack


if you relly wanted to you could make some changes to your gamecube you could sent some extra power through one of the unused controller pins (after disconnecting it from what its supose to be) if you want more but you want a stock look witchout haveing to resort to battery there are various places you can safeley draw from the gamecube motherbord although that probubley more than you want to do
