Good cable but with issues

Nice cable, lines up neatly with the latest Pluto II board. Well thought out and soldering is a breeze.

Had an issue with no audio, seems like the ribbon doesn’t like to be folded despite stating “fold here”. Soldered a cable from pin 21 on the digital port to pin 3 on the Pluto Board. Seems to have fixed this issue.

If I were to mod another GameCube I’d probably try without this cable as the pins on the GameCube and Pluto are well spaced.

Great effort

Maybe I have too many GCs but that’s a question for another day. Back in 2018 I purchased 3x Pluto boards to internally mod 3 of my GCs. It is a big job and after doing 2, I shelved the 3rd for nearly 7 years due to being a bit lazy.

After seeing this ribbon cable, I thought right let’s get the last one done.

Now I’ve done it, I remember removing the old digital port is actually the most painful part of this job. Followed by cutting up the shielding and shell. For me at least, soldering up a few cables wasn’t so difficult and both the ones I did back in 2018 worked first time.

The ribbon cable can’t sit flat due to a few surface mount components in the way, one of which absolutely wouldn’t let me position it correctly without carefully trimming some off the side of the ribbon cable.

Then when you gently fold it over, it doesn’t line up straight so you have to pull it about 5mm across to screw the Pluto board into position. Then you also find the ribbon cable covers one of the screw holes in the 3D printed bracket so now the board is only held on with 1 screw. Then it didn’t work for some reason, I managed to get it going but no idea how or what was wrong?

Anyway, they’re all done now and I don’t plan to do anymore. However if I was to do this mod again I think I might check to see if a new version had been released or just go back to individual wires.

Quick tip, if you’re not doing the picoboot mod as well, you don’t need to remove the heat sink. Check a photo to see where the chips are and you can easily thread the controller control wire through.

Ultimately, I do prefer the internal mod and I do recommend everything else. I already had my 3D printed brackets so I can’t really comment on them but the ZedLabz ones look the same.
