IKR!! That's about the size of it here man. I think my favorite quote so far has been, "Welcome to Florida, if you don't like the weather... wait 5 minutes", lol!! I hear ya, it feels like it I will never get all of it done, lol!! Everything electrical other than soldering the new...

Progress is still going SLOW!! Case work sucks when you're doing it all by hand and don't have advantage of a vacuum former or molding setup to help... yet >:). Of course a proper shop/basement/garage also helps... unfortunately I'm having to sit on my front steps while braving the lovely...

A GC slim is a cool idea that I never really thought about before... I could see that being a really cool project!! :) As far as the extra GC parts, you correct. Being a computer tech I get given a TON of old desktops and laptops that people don't want any more. I get the data off give them...

Nice!! That's what I thought I had gathered from reading all the guides about the colors matching the mother board versions but wanted to make sure before going out and spending the money, lol!! Again, just playing it safe. And a big 10/4 on the ole "bait n' switch", had a guy do that to me...

First, thank you for moving the topic to the correct location. I could've sworn I was posting under the Wii forum... sorry about that... :) The main thing from my first question was; Would I be safe to buy a Wii off eBay or somewhere else site unseen, (with GC controller ports or no) as long...

Oh, I did forget one question... If I switch to making Wii portables what the heck do I do with the 8 GameCube motherboards and WiiKey/WASP Fusions I have laying around the house... are they still worth anything? I know I can practice my mother board cutting on a couple just to get the hang of...

I Didn't want to hijack anyone's thread so I figured I would put this one out there... and sorry, couldn't resist the title. Nintendo shouldn't have made it so easy!! >:) So, after looking around quite a bit and seeing/hearing the benefits of a Wii portable vs. a GCp I think I might...

I first found the ModRetro forum, (out of date just a bit) so finding the right Wii, trimming motherboards and making power regulators are the things that have been holding me back. Trimming I've heard you get the hang of quickly, power regs get me though since parts add up, they get a bit...

That is coming out so awesome man, makes me want to try out a Wii portable!! :)

@Chaos That would be awesome!! Yeah, please let me know when guys get that posted... that will be an great help and an awesome addition!! :) This is true too... The big thing, (other than games like GOW, the GTA3 series, etc.) that kinda pushed the PS2p forward in the race is the fact that I...

LOL, very true!! :D That's what I was thinking with the external battery pack. Batteries have always been a pain to me when they eventually die but at least this way when they did I could replace and keep moving along. And you were reading my mind with the larger speakers, I even thought...

Oh, that and I still have yet to bring myself to build a custom power regulator... which I think is pretty much required for the N64 to get the 12v to 3.3v drop... Dang PTH08080 voltage regulators can get expensive unless you buy in bulk... which requires planning, lol!! :) P.S. If anyone has...

Yeah, I like the idea of doing the N64 with the great library of games... the game slot relocation is what is a bit intimidating to me after looking at some of the few diagrams I've found. I haven't been able to fine a lot that really explain the relocation in good detail since the expansion...

I need some help deciding which portable to make next so I figured I would reach out to all my fellow modders here to give me some guidance. :) I'm currently working trying to wrap up my first GameCube "Simi" Portable project but have already gotten the parts for some of my next endeavors. I...

Well, I finally got everything cut, filed shaped, fit and glued into spot so here is the new face of my "little" GameCube Proto Ver.1: ... Don't know... looks kinda bland now, LOL!! Got to figure out something to do with all that empty space around the bottom that used to be filled with...

This is too true... seems like everyone is always waiting on something from somewhere half way round the world, lol!! And cool!! I will post it up when I get it all mapped out. :) It's been pretty crazy with band practice to get ready for our show in November and our almost 2 year old...

Well, I actually did suck it up this weekend and "ripped" the PSOne screen out and worked on replacing it with a 5 inch TFT that I got off eBay awhile back. I have everything mounted and epoxied into spot so just got to finish wiring it all up to make it concreate. I ended up making the decision...

Funny enough, I searched forever and all over but couldn't find a DD replacement while planning and getting this far. Now that I have the case and the full design pretty much done I ended up purchasing a lot of stuff from a fellow modder that included 2 WiiKey's and 2 WASPs... Never fails. I...

LOL!! I tried the violence route but it just laughed... :) True, I didn't think about it that way. I guess I was just more worried about if the screen ever broke, (being a $20 eBay screen). I guess at that point, it being broken anyway, exerting a little bit of violence to get it back out of...

I posted this in my Work log but wasn't sure if this would be a more appropriate place to ask this question.
