Basically I have 1 gamecube controller that sits behind the screen with everything removed (and by everything, I mean analogue sticks, headers, momentary and slide switches. I then either butcher another gamecube controller by cutting it in half or cutting it into necessary shape, and wire...

No offence, I like the idea, but I felt you should have worked on the overall finish, especially when working on commissions. My advice to you would be to secure a deposit for commissions from now on and work on your finish. I personally never take on a commission without some form of...

Re: lyb's GCp (sorta) worklog I didn't use a wavebird in Nathans, purely because of my budget. However, given the complications I had in routing ALL of the necessary wiring through one cable (about 12 wires in total because it was RGB LCD) I would definitely use wavebird the next time. Heck...

Re: lyb's GCp (sorta) worklog I'm glad to see a 2 part portable like I did for Nathan Barnatt. I'd recommend a wavebird.

Re: lyb's GCp (sorta) worklog Kind of an obvious question, but how do you plug the controller in?

You can actually replace the gamecubes drive with the Wii's drive. The firmware for the drives is nearly identical, you just need a way of communicating the two (not difficult if you have the tools) However, for portable purposes the size would be too big since it pretty much requires an FPGA to...

Yeah, that's fine. I've just got to replace the faulty wire and then respray. I'm also going to add a hook so he can clip the screen half to his belt as well. The problem is I'm also juggling another commission at the same time and I expected that to be completed mid-june, so I'm going to need...

I've just had it back for repairs. When is SGC?

Tests I did worked fine. I think the discs are small enough that you can easily get away with it.

Well, you COULD, but it wouldn't be cheap or easy. You would need to build a board to convert the analogue signals (or you could tap the digital signals) into signals that would be accepted by that screen. Unfortunately it would require a lot of expensive equipment and its just cheaper to buy...

The problem with something like this is that it needs to be recognisable as a gamecube to the mass audience. What easier way than to have an actual gamecube on his belt?

none of the above. I started with a normal gamecube controller, sawn it in half, drew around a screen I had which was 5.4 inch (which later broke. It was like £10 or something from ebay) and then cut out a plastic piece with the screen area cut out. Mounted the controller halves to each side...

Thanks, that's a big compliment.

Kinda.. What's actually happened is that the controller port was removed and I hollowed out the plastic connector, drilled a thicker hole in the end and put a custom wire with about 15 cores through to carry video, power and controller signals. A lot of the wires are redundant in case something...

I would have done the same. Thanks
