Hey guys, I just ordered my viper yesterday from divineo and expect to be getting it soon. I just have some questions mainly regarding installation and a couple other things. I have a NTSC DOL-001; I bought my gamecube the first day it came out (maybe that'll help people know if I have rev. A or B).
I've looked everywhere and haven't found a good installation guide. All I've really seen are pictures of where to solder and what screws to take out.
Does anyone have any pictures of where to position the chip, removing heatsink screws, or anything else that would be useful? I've never installed a mod before but my dad has been soldering his whole life so I don't need help with that.
Also, I've heard that if you have the BBA you do not need to solder the bridge because the BBA makes the bridge. Is this true?
Also, I know that flashing the bios has been a big issue and I was wondering if it's still a problem with a lot of people. Does it work for most to flash the bios before the chip is installed?
Does anyone have a tutorial on modding the cube to fit full-size dvd-r's because I don't wanna spend all the money on minis and I've heard the full-size are more successful. And a picture of the tool to use to cut away the plastic would be very useful.
Thanks for taking the time to read this. I know I have a lot of questions, but I haven't seen them answered anywhere.
Perhaps someone could do a good installation tutorial on here and get it stickied for people like me.
mrunix, bring forth your golden gamecube and deliver us to the promised land.
