Portable Gamecube [WIP]

[Andy9909]

Hello everyone! I am new her to these forums and an up and coming modder, (If thats the right way to say it) I have done a project before. I softmodded a nintendo Wii console. I have been wanting to make a portable GameCube for some time now and after reading all of the great modders here on this forum, Im gonna do it! I just have one question, I am following Kasar's GameCube portable tutorial. I understand everything, however I don't want a disc drive for my portable which make things harder over all. So my question is, what can I do to replace it? I know a little about the Wasp fusion and loading from an SD card, I just need to understand a couple of things. Also, where I could buy these parts? Again thank you so much guys! This forum is really awesome!! The tutorials are so easy to understand and the admins and community are so helpful!

edit: Also, from Kasar's tutorial it says for the controller wiring that to wires need to go to the + and - of the bios battery but I can't seem to find it anywhere.

Hello, Andy. I'm also new to modding, and was looking to make a portable gamecube. Maybe we could help eachother out?

As to the wasp fusion, I am also going to use one. I found a website (eurasia something) that is selling them for $30. They seem legit, so I'm going to order mine today. It seems pretty straight forward. If you're looking for it, I googled "wasp fusion for sale" and it was the first result.

I don't know how I'm going to do the controller, but I'm probably going to try to keep it as intact as possible (maybe only relocating the left joystick and the d-pad, and then keeping as much of the rest of it together as possible. It's probably going to be a "cross that bridge when I get there" type of thing.

My question is about the battery. I assume we would have to wait until last to pick one out so we can calculate the power needed. I can't seem to find much about what other modders have used though. I assumed I'd be using the kind of battery that looks like a little silver pouch, but when I try to find one I mostly get rechargeable AA's.

It would be great to have someone who runs into the same problems as me, so that we can both learn from it
