[QUOTE="aphexacid, post: 9915560, member: 571031"] So I’ve done 6 of these so far. The first 3 pack of pi’s I bought off Amazon installed without a hitch. 5 - 6 inches of 26awg wire. No problems. The next 3 pack off Amazon I got were different. Inconsistent boots on all. And sometimes it won’t find the SD card whether it’s in sp2 or in a gecko. Out of 10 tries, they would boot to Swiss 50%. Was going nuts! So I shortened the wires to 4 inches maybe even a touch less. 2 cubes now are working great. But I have still a unit that deviates. It doesn’t boot to anything occasionally. It’s better, but not perfect. I shortened the wires to the max. Anything shorter will be very difficult to disassemble if it was needed. So, could be wonky batch of pi’s? Particular GC versions? Or maybe location needs to be as close to solder points as possible with extremely short wires. To be clear, when the boot doesn’t not go to Swiss, it’s just a black screen game cube an fan are 100% on. I thought also it could be a tv handshake problem maybe. I’ve tried oem av cables. Official Nintendo component cables with ossc and rt5x. And a prism hdmi adapter with GC video 3.1. All same. Also one thing I found interesting is that if you don’t have a dvd drive installed at all, and you have to go adjust calendar or manage memory card, it won’t allow you. It will tell you to consult the manual there was an error. So I find my self keeping dead drives installed just to a sound that problem. [/QUOTE]
