Hi, i have been wanting to build a gamecube portable, do not fear, this is not my first portable...

It's my second. But i have participated in making 3, but i have made 1 myself, my brother made 3 of them. When he made them, i could not solder. But he tought me how to. Then i made a Portable called the ZEON64, i originnaly anticipated for it to have a cool case, but due to complications i used the original N64 case. I enjoyed making this Portable, but i want to make a Gamecube portable for my sister who likes Animal Crossing, i am doing it for her birthday which is in December (don't worry not by this december. By next december) So i have ordered everything and everything has arived except the batteries and screen. I got my case made by my cousin who lives far away, and it came. Nice and packed. I opened it. and it was CRACKED
ಠ_ಠ i have been like that all day, and my case was so awesome :( . It took so long getting here, i dont want another cracked one, it is beyond repair. So i started looking through all the cases i have and i found one, i thought there could be a posiblity of this working, anyway, i have babbled on for some time. Time for PICTURES :awesome:

i found these two resonably sized thangs :D

ok, that was long thanks for viewing

cannot solder :(
Yeah... no. Learn to solder first. If you have any pictures of your portables please put them up as it's very hard to believe that you made four portables without soldering.
 
then, i couldnt solder... now i can my brother soldered everything on 3 portables but then i gave a second try... and im pretty good now. i guess i typed it so fast i didn't know what i was typing. So then as i said will it work???? thanks
 
For cryin out loud, lets just say my brother made 3 of them... i just PUT them in the CASE, and i ORDERED the parts, i made 1 on my own, so I have made 1, so lets put FOUR out of the picture, i know portablizing is hard, thats because i joined in September 2010... but i finished MY portable in MAY 2011. THE other portables my BROTHER made. lets just say I SUCK at making cases, so i ask advice...

Now do you understand :D

what do you mean?
Specs?
Yup, sorry if you actually did make portables, it's just that there aren't many people across the modding world that join with 4 portables under their belt :confused: Also, we can't really help you with your case either, it looks like there should be enough room, but I don't know if it'll work seeing as it's not in front of me.

Those all sound pretty terrible, actually.

I want pictures, you can't make 4 portables and not have ANY pictures at all.

Also, if you've built 4 portables, why would you ask if a case is possible? Shouldn't you be able to figure that out yourself?
Have you done the research to see if anyone has used that as a case before?

He possibly couldn't of known saying that all of his portables were made using polycase cases or original casing. so, he is asking weather this case is useable or not or if it is a bad idea to use said case.
 
No one has used that case before as far as i know...

i didn't say they were great.
I DIDN'T take pictures because i didn't know i would need to use it as evidence to you guys...
even if i wanted to take pictures. my father only let me get a cellphone when i am 16, i know but yeah... the pictures i took with these are at my friends house... with his phone...
 
*EDITS POST*
WHAT... i didn't say that. i totaly did not say that. i dont know were you got that from

i just realized what i said ROFLOL
