You'll need:
Trimmed GC front controller PCB
Rev. C GC motherboard with DVD and serial ports removed
M2 screws and nuts
Raspberry Pi Pico with Picoboot FW
Soldering ability/skills
80mm PC fan
Assorted small coarse-threaded screws (1-2mm)
4x PC fan screws
Helpful hints until I make a guide:
The gold Philips coarse-threaded screws that are inside the GameCube are reused for the controller port bracket, power plug bracket, two motherboard holes, and the top cover.
The heatsink can be held in place with 6x short M2 screws and nuts very easily
The cmos battery, reset switch, power LED, and resistor don't NEED to be reintegrated/relocated. You can safely run without them.
The vertical square on the port bracket is a (bad) mounting location for the cmos battery, if you choose to reintegrate it (you don't really need to). I just placed the battery behind it and used a heat gun to bend it over the battery.
I used 3x 150ohm (I think?) resistors in parallel to take the 12v fan voltage down to 7.5v. A 450ohm resistor worked but it got too hot. I should really find a way to control the fan with PWM or use a potentiometer.
Sorry for the sparse instructions, I put it together over a long period of time and don't remember everything that needs to be done. Feel free to message me, and have a look at the youtube video of my build here:
