I'm looking for a couple of 6 layer Wiis preferably with the accessories as my partner wants a Wii and I have a non-portable project using one. I'm willing to pay a reasonable amount for them, PM me a quote with shipping included to 05452 and we'll work it out from there.

Getting a lot closer to being able to design a case. I'm gonna wait until I've gotten myself a hot air station to actually do the soldering. https://a360.co/3b24AqS

It's still missing a lot of the details I want in it, but it should suffice for letting me know what my clearances are for my case design. I suppose there are more fancy overly detailed CAD models to come as I work through the list of components going into this.

I've taken the time waiting for parts to arrive to casually model the motherboard I'll be using. Once parts get here, a lot of those big caps are going to be replaced with slightly smaller caps on their sides, so I'll have to update the model for that. https://a360.co/2x7LeSB

I expect my traces for the DVI to be complete shit on this revision, if I get shitty video quality, I'll cut a cable and solder it directly to the chip for testing purposes. As far as the ground planes go, I basically just couldn't figure out how to make them work in KiCAD and I was being...

The board is designed and all the parts are on order, now we just get to see if my terrible board layout works worth a shit. If this works, I'm definitely going to take some time to clean up the board a bit before the next run, I just don't really know what the hell I'm doing right now. Any...

I'm waiting on parts to arrive, but here's a list of features I'll have: 9 inch 480p widescreen LCD Modchip SD Card game loading Xbox 360 Slim PSU Features I hope I'll have: XboxDVI The motherboard is going to be completely untrimmed, and the controller will be external. Hopefully this...

I've gotten the majority of the wiring done, now for the hard parts that aren't just pin to pin wiring. Those connectors on the right are just a direct copy of the pads on the V1 xbox motherboard to simplify wiring. It does mean there will be unused pads, but if you don't want to think about...

As some of you may know, the original xbox is really lacking in video output modes for the modern era. It is only capable of analog video out, and doesn't even support VGA through that. Early versions of the xbox use a CX25871 as the video encoder, which can take a variety of digital inputs and...

Oh, I guess I never introduced myself. I'm Geb from MR, or basically that place that I delete spambots from a couple of times a week and nothing else happens. I have a bit more time now, so I might start kicking around these parts again. I wouldn't count on it, though. Changing routines is...

Soldering Grease

I hope so too, for your son's sake...

Hey, at least they didn't meet the same fate as the father!

That was a book store, tyvm. :P The thrift store was the time I almost ran over those babies and their mother.

They let me into a thrift store. This was a huge mistake.

It's a bit of a pain in the ass to work with, but it was effective enough at getting VGA out of unmodded xboxen. Gotta make sure your wires are real nice and you have an extremely clean +5v source for it unless you want annoying diagonal lines across your screen. If/when I go at it again, I'd...

The plastic should be plenty stiff so long as you aren't going crazy with the drill. Small bit, light to medium pressure, rather than worrying about deburring immediately, wait until you've made all your cuts with the cold chisel. If the plastic turns out to definitely not be stiff enough, use...

The obvious solution is to make a perfect model of the inside face of the lid, and then 3d print it and use that as a backer block for cutting everything out with a drill and a cold chisel.

I got an xbox once that wouldn't power on, so I cracked it open to find that was literally packed with dead roaches. I have no clue how they even managed it. I took it out of the case, immediately put the case and DVD drive in the dumpster, and immediately put the motherboard in a 5 gallon...
