Re: gc memory card question
Is this for a portable, or for some other project? In the end either way, it would come down to soldering each contact on the memory card directly to the motherboard. With the motherboard heatsink-up and with the memory card slots nearest you, the pins will be in a nice staggered pattern. Convenient...

Re: The Dolphin: A cube in a fish tank
Woop! After getting friendly with my multimeter, I've mapped out all the solder points for the controller ports and removed them from their circuit board. This was done very "delicately", and a whole 4 of the 24 contacts stayed in their ports. Yay! I noticed when mapping out the contacts that lower ...

I imagine it would be easier to work with, and less liable to break, but I think glass would add a sense of quality to the finished product. The project is mainly for the sake of appearance but I don't think it would be true to say the...

The Dolphin: A cube in a fish tank
I have acquired an extra gamecube (and in fact a third) and I plan to recase it in a spherical fishtank, immersed in mineral oil*. The disk drive will sit at the top, closing it off and any ports will be around the edge of that, above the level of the oil. I foresee a few problems with this plan and...
