Possably a GCP

Post by Harshboy » Thu Nov 24, 2005 7:16 pm

ok, well i just opened my gamecube( more than opened, i like cracked it, stoopid nintendo screws!) anyway, how much voltage and mah does the GCN need with the lcd screen for GCN. So really i need to know how much power i need to power the GCN LCD moniter and the GCN. Also, i've heard that you can make the DVd drive smaller, how can i do this, it will make my design much more effective :D Also, i want to know how to make the Gamecube think the lid is always shut, how can i do this?

my GC Battery is 12v and gives like 3000mAh and only lasts about 1.5 hours for the system+brand screen according to the box.. might be more or less with difierent screens..

so a GC+Brand Screen probably is about 12v at 2A

there is two blue wires that plug into a switch and the disk reader , unplug them from the switch and solder them together

does that make multidisc games like resident evil etc unplayable because of disk swapping?

Thanks a lot. also when i make a battrery for it, where can i connect it at? can i just slice the regular power cable and connect my battery ther or can i do it somewhere else? and does anyone know where i can get a cheap GCN lcd screen, i dont care wut its for, i do prefer ps1 or GCN lcds, if any of you have them and want to sell them, pm me or post :wink:

You'd just have to shut off the system after you save. No biggy

i can't answer that question but to play multidisk games, just put a switch on the lid wires instead of soldering them together

yeah, you should try whatever you want to play. a zenith screen is a good idea because it's actually a PSone screen (a good screen) in a different case

hey, i just got back from the mall and i bought a PS1 LCD screen for $20.00, and its the official 1st party sony brand!!!!!!!!!!!! I got it at EBGames. Anyway, i got it open and im ready to start workin on it. Now, i have been told that the PS1 lcd screen has a regulator, so can i use my 9 Volt battery and not fry the screen? i just want to test the screen to see if it works, seeing it has been used. And also, can someone post Gamecube video and audio pinouts to the lcd. That would be great. :D

it has regulators but not all the components are regulated. 9v is the highest it can go

ok, i'll try it, hope it wont fry........and also i need a gamecube to ps1 lcd pinout...can some1 post a somewhat detailed one, Thanks EDIT: Oh crap, the battery is 9.6 volts and it only has 600 mah...dang! I'm gonna search for some 7.2 volt batteries and 12-14 volt batteries on the internet. And oh yeah could i do this( probaly not, but oh well )
Image


What i want is for it to power the screen by the 7.2 volts and then when that power passes through the other side of the power port to go into another 7.2 volt battery to bring the voltage up to 14.4 volts to power the gamecube. Would this work, or will the 14.4 volts find its way into the ps1 screen and fry it? And maybe if i put a regulator where the two red and black wires conect and go to the gamecube, maybe it could keep it from going to the screen (like one of those one way roads type of things) Well post back, and i will probally get a better battery with a larger mah. Also if i did this setup, would the mah add up to be 3000 mah? Or not? Please post back with your answers.
