Hello! Finally I had a little bit of time to make this post.
I had the idea of making a GCp almost a year ago, but after buying some stuff (mostly GC motherboards and a WASP) I stopped working on it due to work and university.
A little bit more than a month ago I finally started working on this project again.
First of all I made a pretty conservative cut to my motherboard (like the medium cut) and I wired the WASP fusion to it.
(Also the right side, after the long blue line, has been removed)
I've also wired a 128 MB memory card directly to the mobo and it works just perfect
Next I modified the stock heatsink so that an eeepc side blower could sit fine on it (still have to test it, though):
(yeah I know, it's a crappy job
)
Right now I'm focusing on the case. I'm using as a base a Wii U GamePad crystal case that I got from eBay. As a screen I'm using a 4.3" LCD so it fits without any problems.
First I cut some parts from a GC controller clone and I made them fit in the case (along with the screen frame):
Then I used a plastic filler (this is my first time using such thing, so it's not a perfect job) to cover all the extra holes (some of them might be reopened for the speakers)
(This last one shows very well all the imperfections that I made, tomorrow I'll fix them. Don't mind the LCD quality, the picture came out completely wrong).
UPDATE 18/07/2015:
I applied a first coat of primer and then I applied a couple of layer of painting
UPDATE 20/07/2015:
I've cut a GameCube controller's board (a clone one) and placed all the buttons (except for Z, L and R ones that will be placed in the other part of the case).
This is my first portable, so be nice
More update soon!
