vmu/modem mod idea can it be done?

[Disheveled DrFreeze]

hi guys, im new here, but after browsing the forum i got this awesome idea

why not gut the dc modem, and build in a vmu or other memory card (im thinking of the sega 4x card, pretty small and 800 blocks)

i was thinking it could be done, rip up an old dc pad, strip the controller board down untill only the memory card part is there, solder the mem chip to it, run the wires from the controller board to the i/o board in the dc (i checked the dc board, i think it is possible to solder a controller to it)

this way you could have an internal saving space in your dc!

so what do you guys think of it?

actually that would work, with the exception that you could probably never use the controller port that the controller was soldered to.

i have a fix for that, if you were to isolate the 5v (or whatever voltage the controller works of) wire from the built in pad, and put a switch in it

if you use the switch in off setting the built-in maple chip wont be powered, and the dc will think there is nothing in the socket, so you can still use the socket

i dont know if this works, but i think it will
anyone got experience with this sort of mod?

Yeah it should work if your keeping the parts of the controller in there.

If you switch the power off to it, then your right you'll be able to use a controller in the oport
