    Let's talk about Piracy.

    It's illegal for sure, but I believe that it's not always unethical, especially not if you already own a copy of the physical game, which I personally own all the gamecube/n64/nes games I want to play anyway so it's not that much of a problem for me. I could go on and on, but to simply reply to...

    A Side Project

    The bottom half of the case is done, I'm at work and don't have a pic of it fully painted, but here it is with the top half of the keyboard case jb welded in and after the first round of sanding. Now it's primed, painted, and glossed, and I'll post that picture later. I may be able to use the...

    Worklog Madmorda's First Wii Portable (Wii S Lite)

    Well, I feel obligated to say that as Aurelio pointed out in another thread (the one that Madmorda mentioned in her post), the diagram I made is "not the proper way" because it doesn't in any way switch the amp to "headphone level volume" which could result in blowing out your headphones. The...

    BitBuilt Forum Suggestions

    No I think you're right. It's not intuitive whatsoever and "Connect with us" heavily implies linking to a social network and not back to the main site. Unless those speech bubbles are a symbol for internet forums and I'm unaware.

    Scalpers are out in force... As usual

    Idk about this, I think there may very will be a few people that say, "I would rather pay several hundred dollars in order to not have to wait in a line, so I will wait and buy from a scalper on ebay", but there are many others that have to pay a scalper not because they didn't want to wait in...

    Question Calling all noobs (noob question thread)

    I don't know. My hunch tells me that if the power to your capture card is off but it's still grounded then it's possible the signal could still be being half-fed to the capture card and half-fed to the wii. But if you break power and ground to your internal screen, where will the signal current...

    Question Calling all noobs (noob question thread)

    Yes. By my calculations, an 87k resistor will give you 1.0003V at the output. For anyone else who might have a similar question, page 7 of the datasheet would be the place to go.

    Question 64CC (PE); Only for OEM N64 Controller?

    Right, because these are designed specifically for an OEM controller. It's a personal preference on how you feel about these. I don't love them, but I'm kind of a snob when it comes to joysticks because I'm into speedrunning and competitive smash. They are a bit more sensitive than a regular...

    Question 64CC (PE); Only for OEM N64 Controller?

    Hori pads definitely feel good to hold and play with for general use, but I don't think the price is worth cutting up for a portable. If you're into playing n64 games the old fashioned way (not in portable form), get one, and then seriously consider whether or not it is worth cutting. I still...

    Question 64CC (PE); Only for OEM N64 Controller?

    I believe that yes, this has everything to do with different valued pots. Think about it. We know that V = IR and in both situations, V = 3.3v (or maybe in this case, some voltage being put off from the chip, idk, doesn't matter). The chip is presumably measuring the current that is coming as a...

    Question 64CC (PE); Only for OEM N64 Controller?

    Yep. And I mean, probably not measuring "resistance" so much as, the current through the resistor? That shouldn't be too hard to program.

    Question 64CC (PE); Only for OEM N64 Controller?

    I suspected this at first, but it bothers me that in his picture there seem to be no wires attached to the middle pins of either of the pots. And like MC said, they seem to be marked 2 for x and 2 for y on the controller board. Idk, I could be completely wrong.

    Question 64CC (PE); Only for OEM N64 Controller?

    Seems like since the pots are only using 2 wires each instead of 3 they're being used as variable resistors. If so, you could wire the gamecube pots as variable resistors, but it probably won't work correctly unless the gamecube pot happens to have the same value as the 3rd part pot (10k, 100k...

    This is strange... but I like it. Although, I think the flickering would drive me insane if I was actually trying to use it to play in the dark.

    Discussion Ben does it again

    Makes me giggle when I turn my car on, and I think back to this guide and the part where it talks about how dumb the ds is for giving safety warnings before each use and how ridiculous it would be if cars had a warning pop up before each use.

    Solved Wiring up the integrated GC controller problem

    May or may not be worth mentioning that you should be mindful of how / how close you trim the abxy board, because trimming could cause the ground planes to become separate. Probably won't run into the issue, but this has happened to me before where I did end up having to run separate ground...

    Question load games on portablize mii

    PortablizeMii doesn't support it and you wouldn't want to do it anyway because relocating the sd card slot is a pain. If for whatever reason you must have your games on an sd card rather than a usb drive, some usb sd readers can be used with PortablizeMii. Gman has done this with some of his...

    Very much looking forward to watching this progress; I am so fascinated by this stuff and as we talked about I'm really interested in learning some of it. And GC video? :XD:
