    Hey man, nice to see you here!. I'm using 2s1p configuration which gives me 8.4 to 6.4v that's plenty to power everything. I'm getting 1 hour of play time on batteries, which is what I wanted. I should've used other type of batteries, but that's what I had lying around... Maybe next...

    Hello everyone, I have a quick update. I've wired up everything in the back case to test all the components together (except from the controller board) and it's working. I might have to increase the voltage of the fan, it's running at around 48 degrees and at that temperature it starts to...

    Welp, mi y stuff from china finally arrived and everything seems Ok. Iv'e wired up a nintendo switch joystick to an original gamecube controller, unfortunelly there's where my luck ended. The Y axis is inverted while the X axis works fine. Will investigate and try to find a solution for this.

    The DC-DC converter I ordered for the 1.9v arrived, I was doubting it could power the gamecube for such a small thing. Rigged a quick test and it's working perfect, please ignore the messy wiring If you would've told me this tiny thing could produce 6 Amps or at least 3 to power the gamecube...
