today i received my very own Nintendo Gamecube. The problem is that it's only a bare GC, but what can you ask from a thing you got for free
Anyway, due to this, i had to make my own power supply, which i made from one power adaptor which was laying around. At this point i have about 11 V and 4.2 A output from it. The voltage was decreased by the AC to DC converter, but i asked a person who works with electronics for quite some time, and he sayed 11 V should be enough, and 4.2 A is better than 3.25 (i think GC need that much, or atleast it's genuine power supply gives that much).The problem is that GC starts up, the fans r working, the red light is on, but it doesn't read disks. It even doesn't try to spin it, or to move the laser. So my question is, why does the GC act this way? Does it check that voltage is less than it needs? Or is it something else. If'd have messed up with my own power supply, i think it wouldn't work at all.
EDIT: Never mind, people. Found out that i needed to add extra part to AC to DC convertor for GC to work.
