    Question Fan (or other recommended upgrades) for backwards compatible PS3

    I recently got a backwards compatible PS3 and it has one of it's exceptionally loud cooling fans. I was wondering if there is a fan mod or replacement fan someone knows of, and while I'm at it I might as well ask what other mods/etc should I consider to help it perform at it's best.

    I'm working on a build right now and your photos help a ton as there is not a lot to the wiring diagrams on 1Layer yet. Thanks for being detailed

    Worklog Wii U gamepad redesign

    Making good progress. Gamecube buttons and controller halves created. Wii-U gamepad components are back in. Extended the sticks out. But I ran into some trouble with the ribbon wire being too fragile to work with. I was originally just going to solder to the ribbon wire but that didn't quite go...

    Question custom order ribbon wire?

    I am working on a project that involves a wii u gamepad and I need to replace the ribbon wires. They are too delicate to solder to. I was thinking I could try to custom order a small stub ribbon wire with solder points I can connect my button wires to to replace the old cable. Anyone know where...

    Worklog Wii U gamepad redesign

    Progress update. I know it has been forever but have successfully combined the two controllers and now am in the process of painting everything white (to match the Wii U). Bondo, sand, paint, bondo, sand, paint. It is a bit tedius to get the exact finish I want, but worth it. Closes up nicely...

    I suppose that would be a good source of buttons.

    GameCube JoyCon CAD Files

    If you want plus minus, home, use wiiu pro buttons. With minor modification they will work. they are only a little shorter than the gamecube start buttons, but with a little material they should work to give you a plus, minus, and home.

    You'd have to change the start button mounts a bit, but it would be really cool to use a for parts Wii u pro controller +, -, and home buttons since you already need one for the clicky sticks. Stick with the gamecube start for the screen capture maybe. I enjoy having the buttons labled like they...

    Any way to increase the battery life of the G-Boy?

    You could look into graphine batteries, but it is a relatively new technology and probably expensive.

    Worklog Wii U gamepad redesign

    Got a little bit more time to work on this. It looks like I will need to use a similar stickbox fix as Shank's Gamecube Joycons but with a lot less microsoldering fortunately. I have acquired some very dead but cosmetically good gamecube wavebirds so I think I can use similar 3d printed...

    Wii U aquired. At this stage I'm taking a good hard look at the components and the casing of the gamepad.

    Question Pluto-IIx HDMI chip gamecube install documetation?

    Recently I acquired a gamecube and various components to mod it with. The Xeno chip is very straightforward, and the SD2SP2 mod chip plugs right in. I am having some difficulty finding install documentation on the Pluto-IIx HDMI soldering points. I already have GC-Video in the modchip, so I...

    Question Wii portable in a retro case/other questions now

    You could ask Gman if the printable STL for the case is available and if you could print it out yourself at a college, perhaps buy the PCBs individually and see what you can do with them. You miss out on the convenience of a package deal and a lot of the help that comes with it though. Other...

    Are G-Boys any good for Painting?

    Yes, you can paint 3d prints like the G-Boy shell. To get a smooth and clean finish you'll want to use Bondo spot puddy or something similar to smooth out the surface. Sand, clean up, prime, and apply more spot puddy as needed. Sand, clean up prime. Keep going until you have the surface you...

    Question Wii portable using a touchscreen?

    Thanks for the reply. I imagine that without help this is probably an idea outside of my current skill level. However, I'll have to see if I can do this idea in the future as I think it opens up certain games too reliant on the Wiimote to be effective without something to replace it accurately.
