    Worklog Ashida build. My first portable.

    So just for the sake of curiosity, I never installed the old driver board... Did all these crashes on RVLoader began with the new DD board? Is there anyone that successfully installed the DD board and did not experience crashes whatsoever? BTW I'm gonna try using the SDW and SCW pads on the DD...

    Worklog Ashida build. My first portable.

    UPDATE: I decided to try something out... I removed all the audio components that were useless for the build and see if that improved things somewhat. Maybe random useless caps might be hurting stability? well for one thing, I can now FINALLY complete the "sticks wizard". I was never able to...

    Worklog Ashida build. My first portable.

    I was also considering asking if there are users with absolutely no issues on RVLoader with the DD lol... Might be interesting to see a picture of their wiring and gather as much data as possible. Yes. I can finish the fan calibration, and RVLoader seems much more stable than before. It still...

    Worklog Ashida build. My first portable.

    At this point I'm not sure what's helping and what isn't lol... So my latest changes were basically adding a few more ground points, and re-routing the I2C and GCD cables. I basically routed them going to the top-right side of the console and I ran them on top of the RVL-DD and held them...

    Worklog Ashida build. My first portable.

    I'll check it out... So far it hasn't happened again. And again, the weirdest thing is that I only experienced it by running GC games... It NEVER happened, even with the old wiring, while playing Wii games... I played a ton of Mario Kart Wii on it and never experienced that issue. With the old...

    Worklog Ashida build. My first portable.

    Ok it's better but I'm still having issues. The weirdest one being the controllers seem to reset ONLY when playing gamecube games. I can play Mario Kart Wii for hours and it would be 100% fine. Then I boot up Wind Waker, Paper Mario TTYD, Zelda TP GC, whatever and after a few minutes the...

    Worklog Ashida build. My first portable.

    Ok so I finished rewiring the console using 34 awg wire. I'm kicking myself from not having done this from the start. Anyway... most of my glitches seem to be solved now. PMS-2 is now detected 100% of the time I booted the console, everything seems to be great. I did experience some weird stuff...

    That's actually a good point that I didn't consider... Yeah probably a good thing that I invest the time in rewiring the thing lol

    Question Cant get composite video out

    U10 is the usual suspect. Did you remove the caps by twisting them? if that's the case check the trace isn't broken. The composite trace should measure 75ohms to ground provided you didnt' remove the resistor just next to the AVE chip. If the trace is messed up, you'll have to wire it next to...

    Worklog Ashida build. My first portable.

    Update: I "Finished" putting it together. I used 28 AWG wire because I'm stubborn and it's what I had lol. Anyway, the console works but there are a few issues here and there. Mainly the PMS-2 board keeps getting undetected randomly and I got some random crashes on RVLoader. Games don't crash...

    Worklog Ashida build. My first portable.

    Hello! Long time lurker... Finally decided to give it a shot and build a portable. For obvious reasons I decided to go with an Ashida. Even with all the hard work from the community making this build as streamline as it is, it's still a heck of a challenge, but I'm having a ton of fun with it...

    BitBuilt Welcome Thread!

    Hi! Not much to say, I began modding literally decades ago as a hobby with simple projects like installing modchips, swapping PS1 controller plugs with a DB25 connector in order to use them on a pc (you can guess how old that makes me) and simple video mods on like onboard s-video out on...
