MichaelThurston's RCube, Portable Gamecube worklog

[Thursty]

Yes, I have started a Portable Gamecube, for a Customer.

This is where I will have the worklog/Details posted.

So far I've gotten parts in and I have the Gamecube running off my batts.

I will keep this thread Updated, as much as possible.

Pictures so far:

I'm very interested in how your shoulder buttons end up, I think that'll be quite a challenge.

Last week my friend signed into my youtube on my phone, and now I can't sign out. :/

So all the videos upload to his account until I figure out how to reset it.

metroid??? METROIDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
this will be awesome, are you keeping the buttons on the controller up like that or flush with the case?

 

[Harshboy]

I see you're putting all those parts I sold to you to good use.

 

[Thursty]

Indeed. Very good parts they are as well.

I'm in the Process of Rewiring the Controller and planning the insides.

Case Update:

and yes mako everything will be flush and smooth whenever everything is in place. I just started the case yesterday.

 

[Mako321]

awesome, try and fit it all into that zn-(40 or 45?) like shockslayer couldn't!

 

[snowpenguin]

Zenloc already did it, he even trimmed the thickness of the ZN-45.

Looking forward to seeing more. Are you gonna leave the case black, or paint it?

 

[Thursty]

Flat Black

 

[zeturi]

Good, I like'm that way.

 

[TechScreen19]

Any more progress?

 

[Thursty]

The controller that Harshboy sold me never worked, So I had to cut into my other controller, all thats left with that is to wire the D-pad, Then I will start to plan where I'll put the Disc drive and such. Its been a very busy weekend, leaving me not much time to work.

 

[Mako321]

METROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOIIIIIIIIDDDDDD!!!!!
you should add all 4 player ports on this portable, the gc needs it.

 

[Thursty]

Update:

Disk Drive in place:

Fits nicely.

 

[Mako321]

don't forget, it is very easy to trim the drive.
