Looks awesome! What CAD package are you using to make those PCBs? Looks pretty nice. Can't wait for more :) - merged posts - Can't edit my previous post, for some reason. Anyway, those flat flex look pretty simple and they have high res photos of them, is there something I'm missing that...

NP! Also, I had an idea just now when thinking about the analog sticks... I remember seeing this awhile back, possibly someone here linked it. I don't remember exactly where I saw it, though... Anyway: http://chipmusic.org/forums/topic/8581/how-to-dye-silicone-startselect-buttons/ Might be...

Ah, glad you fixed it :)

The problem is the screen. The way the backlight circuit is made, it can blow out if you attempt to turn it on without a load, so the PMIC (Power Management Integrated Circuit) checks for a resistance across the backlight circuit, and if there is none, turns off. It's a common issue, likely just...

Great job on your first portable! I know you've been working hard on it. Serious props for such nice frankencasing, I couldn't tell most of that stuff had been added. With a bit more work on tidy internals, you'll be making amazing portables :)

Basically, you have the physical port, which you cut off of the board when trimming, and the cut motherboard. The data connections need to be connected to the motherboard, and in needs to share a common ground, but you can take the voltage directly from the regulator and wire it to the port...

I would have suggested a dremel. A lot of the screws have a really long screw post on them, which you can cut around. There are a few screws that won't work for, of course, but those screws are pretty accessible and not hard to get out by just drilling the heads off (which I suppose you could...

Unless you're planning on using it, just hack up the case to get it apart >:D

Just to add, it used to be illegal (at least in this country) to buy cells without a protection circuit attached... That should give you an idea :P

Might want to get that PCB out before it ruins the crispness of your baggie

ftfy ;)

No. I'm saying the cables that you have on the Wii side output a different kind of video. The cable you have will output YPbPr also known as component video, component video is very different from RGB, which is what the VGA standard uses. So, without a cable that outputs RGB + horizontal and...

Again, with the cables you have, you aren't going to get a display

No, they aren't scams, and with the proper signals you would likely get a display... Assuming it's hooked up correctly on the inside, anyway

VGA does indeed use RGB signals, along with that it needs vertical and horizontal sync as well. However, what you get out of the Wii cables that look the same is NOT RGB. It is component video and is a different format entirely... So, without proper RGB cables and the correct sync signals, you...

I've been neglecting this thread a bit, sorry about that. The good news is, I got code execution pre-bootrom lock! After talking with someone else, it seems the main ram chip is actually disabled on boot, and there's a bit you need to set in software to turn it on, my exception handler is...

Reading back through this thread, I think I'd like to point some stuff out. Wiimotes can be paired to a computer, and some programs can even understand the data they send, so there's obviously some sort of position data sent, and the protocol for it is likely somewhere online. Rather than...

Not sure about the PIF, but afaik, yeah the CPU, RCP and RAM are from an n64. I did hear (no clue if it's accurate or not) that Nintendo actually used an off-the-shelf CPU, and that there were ones that could replace the N64 CPU without issue. Of course, take that with a grain of salt, it could...

Dumb question, but have you tried a new SD ribbon? Seems like the one you have is kinda beat up, you mentioned the drive ribbon, but not the SD ribbon... Just a thought

Yeah, basically the same. That actual vulnerability has been public for over a year, but the specifics (the circuit) have not been public. It's not this simple for the 3DS, unfortunately EDIT: initial documentation on 3dbrew...
