In the last 15 month a couple of interesting new hardware projects for the 3DO console came to life. I try to give you a little overview of each one.
Diyer TZMVX shown a couple of days ago, a redesigned power supply for the 3DO FZ-10, perfect for all Europeans using a stepdown converter with...
Both ways require a disk in the drive, either original or burned so you need a working drive and there is the risk of wearing down the laser anyway.
Also they did not load swiss from sdcard because you need to implement the driver for reading the filesystem of the sdcard and there is not enough...
The "magic" of the WODE happens inside the Actel Proasic chip that takes care of optical drive interfacing. That chip was used in many modchips and ODE, like the WKF/WASP for the wii or the xecuter x3 for xbox. This is what you need to recreate the Wode. The NXP chip is used for file...
The diy wode for the wii is not diy, this is the initial prototype of the wode. And the opensource wode is only software that runs on the wode. Unfortunately the sources of the wode where never released.
It depends on your hacking and soldering skills. I have a jasper with cr4xl chip and it's instaboot always. The jasper are the only phat models worth your time but they can be noisy. Almost all the slims are ok but they use a cpu+gpu chip with ihs so changing thermal paste (mandatory on all...

Works in a similar way to FMCB for the playstation 2. After the Tonyhax exploit now another one, but this one needs only a memory card. No discs, no games. Compatibility is still small: only works with SCPH-9000 model and could require a few...
Two nice project i found recently:
this is a pcb to create your own GC controller. Main use is to integrate it in a Gamecube or wii portable.

Do not forget to have a look here for most recent firmware or to buy pre-build boards...
No. You can't boot files form an Sd card with a Xeno. You can boot only cd-r. Put swiss on a cd-r and launch what you want from a sd gecko or a sd2sp2. Or use one of the many softmod with a legit disk. If your drive is not working the only solutions are an IPL replacement chip or the new gc-loader.
There is a native hdmi interface also for wii (not plug'n play) but the most cost effective choice (hdmi interface for gamecube is not cheap) is a wiiu if you have a modern tv.
The reason of existence of a drivechip like che xenogc is that the drives are locked. Ipl chips were out of stock for years and NOS were expensive. Now there is the hyperboot on sale but not easy to buy. Also for $25 plus S& is a waste of money since for the same amount you can buy a wii with a...

I found it funny cause many many years ago, had a roommate in college that did this same dumbass branding of the school logo, but it didn't look anything like it after it healed. Just looked like a birthmark.
