No, jk. Anyway, if you subtract the .2"
P) I saved for batteries, it becomes 23.364 cubic inches. So, battery-less, the µGC is smaller than the XGC.
However, even if I do make the world's smallest, I owe some of it to you SS.
We'll see how it plays out. Our measurements are so close, the worlds smallest will go to the portable with more functionality (i.e batteries, rumble, SD gecko, P2 port, etc.)

Fusion Micro, rev. 2 = 22.23cin. That would be assuming the psp was shaped completely rectangular also, which its not. So the above # is actually a bit high.
As Mako said though, who really gives a flax. Lets just make awesome portables. Progress looks nice so far SQ, that case is fakn small.

If the goal of everyone in the modding community was to make the prettiest cases, we sure wouldn't be where we are today, would we?
Sure, people can work on the case. That's nice. But smaller is even nicer son. Don't you forget that.

I dont get what people have against external batteries. Sure, having them built in is nice but if your not going to get a signifigant amount of playtime without adding immense proportions then I say the trade off in size is worth it imo.

Looking neat. Won't be the smallest though thrust me
But yeah who cares......................I do 
I would leave the batteries. When you make the portable that small and the heatsink that low you also make it hotter. When there is less space to ventilate having batteries in there will be a problem in the long run. Also 1 hour of gameplay is a waste as you need to have the charger on hand anyway so what's the point. If it was 3 hours ok but yeah like Ashen said it's not worth it.
That analog slider setup looks exactly like mine on my gamecubemini
Keep up the good work!!

Re: The Worlds Smallest GameCube Portable: SonyQrios µGC Wor
Yeah, you can't really use the "World's Smallest" title considering its not complete yet and there are so many other portables in progress so close (or smaller) than your projected size.
Still, its really looking nice. Keep up the good work.

Case < Size
NOPE. The thing is, some people like nice cases. However, a unit isn't really "portable" if it doesn't store easy. The TSF was nice looking, SS could have made it look better. IT FIT IN A POCKET. Most people here are teenagers who don't take the time to make heavenly cases. Notice how nicer cases are made by people like zenl0c.nukear said:I'd take a fat, beautiful portable over a tiny, flaxty portable.
