THIS INFORMATION IS OUTDATED. PLEASE REFER TO ASHENS MOBO GUIDE
For those of you that want a REALLLY small portable gamecube, it all starts with the motherboard. This guide applies to Revision A and B motherboards ONLY. Although A and B revisions are slightly different, I don't believe the differences are ganna be an issue for slimming the mobo. PM me if you run into problems
UPDATE! - So I decided to take some better pictures and show a more bullet proof method of cutting since my previous picture was sloppy and had issues.
Cutting off the component plug pins
Two traces need to be relocated: The light blue, aqua colored trace is simply ground. You can relocate that trace to any ground part of the board. The green trace needs to go to its other spot as shown in the picture. You can cut as far as the red line goes without any problems (as long as you relocate those two traces I pointed out).
Here, you can see both relocations. The wire on the right goes to other side of the board only because I was a dingbat and ripped the trace off on this side.
Other side of board
