First GameCube Portable complete!

[TheProactivePikmin]

Hi, I would like to thank this entire community, this couldn't have been done with out what you guys have done and continue to do. I started this project back last year in march, I began research and slowly gathered parts. By June I had fried my first Gamecube and had a zn-40 case ready for installing parts. I did not enjoy how the case looked and felt it lacked originality. So I scraped the case and began looking into vac forming. Towards the end of the summer I had 2 halves and was ready to start cutting holes in it. Then school started, and I had difficulty getting the time to work on it. I finally finished it tonight and I couldn't be more happy with it. The bad looking analog stick was due to last minute changes in case design, 3ds sticks just don't cut it for me. I hadn't created a worklog thread becuase I made one in real life instead. The resources you guys have here are just to great and thanks to all of you. This is just the first, I will create more portables and other worthy projects. Best feeling ever to have this done.

This project has opened my eyes to a world I have never seen before. It is a beautiful world.

Very cool. Congrats on completing a portable! What does the disc loading area look like? Or does it use a disc drive emulator?

It has a wiikey mod chip in it, and the speakers are on the back. I mostly use the headphone jack.

Everything is crazy, still kinda neat to see something totally off key every one in awhile. Looking forward to seeing what you can do.

Thanks, ShockSlayer. When I first tore apart my gamecube and had the idea to make it portable I went online and then saw your gamecube portable 2. That really inspired me to do make one.

It's a nice looking first portable. Think it turned out just fine. As long as you like it that is all that matters.

Congrats on finishing it! Pretty hard to tackle a GameCube as your first mod, but it's great you completed it
