Question Your answers to my questions

[Enrique]

i was wondering when the store would be available and when there would be a new batch of gc+. It's literally the last thing I need for my portable

Couple of weeks. I was gone on vacation over the holidays and am currently in the process of finishing up store upgrades before I push the new changes to the live site. Keep an eye out on the page.

Is this also the same kind of wire that I would need for majority of other stuff

 

[DeoNaught]

yes, you can use it for about anything EXCEPT your power lines,
Something like 24awg wire is recommended for Power lines

screw that, on the last part, Ginger corrected me below.

22 gauge on power lines. 24 is going to be too thin for some, so it's best to just use 22 for the big ones.

Can I use psp joysticks instead of 3ds on the gc+ or would that not be good?

You can, but they have even worse range than 3DS sliders.

This is destroyed isn't it
I tried doing the u10 relocation
AND FOR THE LIFE OF ME
I COULD GET NO SOLDER TO STICK ON THE DAMN BOARD

It's because you lifted all the pads except the bottom middle one... You could probably get away with gluing the U10 down and connecting all the pins floating

If there was a better one it would be in the BOD instead

Ok so for a portable this what I know is required (add some more items if needed):
Trimmed wii
Fans (1 or 2?)
Buttons/button pcb
Audio amp
Headphone jack
12v female jack
Batteries (4)
All four regulators
Joysticks
On/Off Switch
Heatsink (Can I trim it, and if so how far can I trim the wii heatsink?)
USB jack
Lcd


What else is needed because I am trying to fit all these components in a certain case (maybe modified the certain case a bit)

 

[cheese]

(Can I trim it, and if so how far can I trim the wii heatsink?)

You can trim the heatsink pretty small on a 4 layer. 6 layers need more cooling so they can't go quite as far.

Also, don't forget a protection circuit for your batteries.

The protection board was a given
But now I know that my idea might be possible
