Blargaman's GameCube SP

[Blargaman91]

My first finished portable has finally made its way to completion, and it's been one and a half years since got started into electronics to make this thing. So, I present to you, my GameCube SP:

Some main features of this portable are:
-An SL-68 case from Polycase (inspired by gman's commission)
-Two 3.7v 2600 mah internal batteries
-SD Gecko on slot B
-A WiiKey Fusion, of course
-An LM4880 amp, analog volume control
-Kindle speakers
-USB 3.0 port for 4-player
And, well, everything else that would typically be on a portable.

I have some problems with cooling at the moment, as this thing gets REALLY hot, and I don't feel much air coming from the fan. Gotta take it all apart and reposition it. But for now I'll celebrate finally finishing what I joined these forums for.

That's one sexy portable! Very clean as well. I like how you managed to make it work with full sized buttons instead of using psp or ds buttons. Also, the squareishness is awsome.

Oh, I couldn't stand a non-GameCube layout in a Gamecube game . Thanks for the feedback.

 

[public-pervert]

Very nice work, mate! I'm really glad you finally finished it.

Wow, this portable has just become a favorite of mine. I really like that color you gave it. The whole thing looks sleek and easy to hold in your hand. Where did you find the analog sticks and screen? I can't for the life of me find where those are.

 

[Blargaman91]

Oh, you can get both the analog sticks and screen from eBay. The analog sticks are 3DS analog sticks (search "3DS joysticks") and the screen is a generic 3.5 inch car backup monitor with composite video input. The screen I used is from DealeXtreme because they had a certain kind I wanted to get, but shipping took months. Ones on eBay work just as well.

This thread needs a video and some more pics. I'm diggin the orange. You just dont see enough orange portables these days. Any chance you could take a pic of the guts when you fix those problems? I'm curious to see where you are putting the batteries and the gamecube.

 

[Sun-Wukong]

I dig it. It probably wouldn't work so well with the orange case, but did you consider making the sticks grey and yellow like on the actual GCN controller?

 

[bentomo]

I like this.

Wow, I haven't checked this thread for too long. I'll have pics up soon, but I don't think I can get a video up...
