Battery pack:

Apparently the chinese lie about the mAh but even if I get 8000mAh I will be happy.
Casing:
Case is almost ready to be shipped to me, gman only needs to cnc then it is done.
Wiikey Fusion:
Wired Wasp Fusion that I got from mega
Sound:
Iluv speakers from amazon
Also would like to have a headphone jack on the portable as well, so if anyone knows how to get that wired up that be great to know.
UPDATE 1/28/14
Ordered iLuv Speaker off of amazon, will be getting it next week.

How does one wire controller one to the mobo while keeping controller 2 port available for the gamecube portable?
http://kyorune.com/modding/article.php?id=84 <--- Trying to following this but not too much info on how I would do that.
UPDATE 2/14/14
Wired up the wasp fusion and it is working great now after a long journey of trying to get it to work.
UPDATE 2/16/14
Beautiful pics:

Whats left to do/coming soon:
Case to be done soon
Wiring controller and controller port 2
Replace thermal pads
UPDATE 2/19/14
Cut and sanded mobo, turned out pretty good imo being the first time I use a dremel.
Wired SD Gecko, genesis emu works but n64 wont find roms ... (They are in the proper folder)
Removed vga, composite and power from screen board as they were too bulky.

UPDATE 2/21/14
Re-Wired SD Gecko with an adapter this time, looks much better and its clicky
Cut out new thermal pads for the heatsink, these will perform much much better
I need a volume adjustment pot like the one on the gameboy, in Canada we no longer have radioshacks
I have no clue where I could get one besides taking it from my gameboy. lol
Put on the new thermal pads, runs at 34c on idle and with a load didnt go past 39c for two hours. I ran wind waker and had him spinning the entire time.
This is a incredible amount of improvement from the nintendo thermal pads. I would get 40-44c at idle. 10c different is amazing.
If anyone wants some of these I can sell them pre-cut and everything for cheap.
To do list:
Finish wiring speakers
Case
Connect memory card
Wire Controller stuff
UPDATE 2/23/14
Wired up 251 block memory card to the gamecube!
Casing is almost complete
Got a gameboy from a friend, he gave it to me for putting a letter in the mail for him. lol
I will be taking one of the wheel pots from it for the portables speakers.

Controller board ffc is pretty much done for, I have to bend it certain ways just to get the controller working so I will be forced to wire that soon.
