Retro Nintendo worklog- 2: the gamecube. UPDATE

[zharrhen]

UPDATE: After looking at this thing I'm making, I realized that it is so complicated that I'll find it in my attic in 20 years and say "Now how does this work again?" then it blows up. That is why I made an instruction manual. Also it makes it more official.

Another thing that I did was make it in such a way that you can hook it up to a TV if you want.

Also I don't know if I can call it a portable anymore. it's wider that a foot and it's heavy, but it is battery powered. I'm going to call it a "luggable".

UPDATE: I'm going to spray paint "MODRETRO" on the bottom.

 

[ShockSlayer]

Please God, No.

Spray paint "RIP PORTABILITY" onto it.

SS

 

[Kickback]

or "LOW BATTERY"

 

[Prog]

or MBB
I kid, I kid.
Or "Do not resuscitate"

 

[zharrhen]

Never mind. I won't spray paint anything on the bottom.

UPDATE: I'm not going to think of this as a portable anymore (because it really isn't portable) I'm going to think of it as a battery powered mod with a screen.

UPDATE is the new IGNORE.

When will we get some actual updates?

 

[superben51]

Or pictures? A part of me still thinks all this is just made up and this is still in the theory stage.

This isn't in the theory stage, I am working on it. Here is proof that I have the parts:

Left to right: Gamecube, Screen, watch (for a clock), and n64.
In the background you can see some cleaning alcohol, a phone, and a soldering iron.

I did make a picture of what I think it will look like when it's done.

I haven't done much work on the actual thing, I'm waiting for a battery that Hermaphrodites is making for me and a switch from amazon. After I attach those, I'll make the case.

Screw it, I'm not doing a worklog, too much negative feedback.

What did you expect? You haven't done anything.

Actually, I've been posting everything on the n64 part of the worklog. I'm discontinuing this worklog and the entire thing is going to the n64 section.
