Ni-Cad batteries of Lithium ion for power
You can use a laptop drive but it will be near impossible
HDD in place of memory card? No, and pointless
In place of Disk, IDK im not big on the gamcube and dont know that much. Want a SD card go for it and it will save space and battery life (Wii key fusion)
Links? Check the sticky and do some research before you even post. Unless your checking to make sure something is safe (AKA Batteries) or it wont fry then you can ask questions like a noob all you want and no one will give you crap for it

Use high power lithium polymer cells. Charger.
*PLAQUE* laptop drives, use a Wii Disc Drive.
HDD in place of a memorycard? Emu_kidd's IDE-EXI fit's that description.

if your specifically going to make I laptop, I suggest just using a Wii, they are what, like $80 now?

I double this because the cost to make the laptop CD drive and the amount of time spent would be more then the WII, thats if you could even do the CD drive mod.

Plus you can play the wii in addition

Is this a wii thread? Inception, if I was in your situation I would suggest getting A rev C GC( built in reg..). Being it's your first portable GC. And if your looking for Luigi's mansion and I think wind waker and few other games, I would suggest the previously said Wii DD. But if your looking for size and less compatibility I would use a wiikey fusion. As for batteries I don't know because I'm using the flaxed up intec ones. (cheapest

) and also, if your looking for a laptop GC I would also suggest getting a couple of 3DS sliders (so the screen can close properly) if you can't do this kinda stuff then I would suggest starting with a n64 portable.

What is flaxed up?

I remember you saying that they suck a while ago when I asked about them. They have oddly a three way switch, but inside original plastic casing on two ways are usable.

I got a rev C Gc at good will for like 3.99 and my enclosure is from a old gateway solo laptop. Its actually all assembled as of yesterday. But i need a screen and The person who wanted this wants video outs on it. I cant find an LCD that fits for something reasonable. Any ideas on where to get one
