Tchay's Ccube UPDATE FEB 22nd, 2011p2p

[Tchay]

Ccube is finished, wait no its not, oh wait yeah it is, no nevermind its not. Scratch that its finished. OH just kidding.....

^ thats why I hate worklogs

I'm putting together a a brand new video that will show the final stages leading up to the assembly of the Ccube. It will be pretty awesome. And THEN I will show another video showcasing the actual Ccube with several games, commentary, etc.

I'm not giving a deadline because if something breaks (again), then I don't want to let anyone down by having further delays. The final videos will just pop up some day in the future at an unexpected time. Thats all I'm saying.

OLD PICS......or are they

Sasquach for size reference

DS for size reference

Me holding it

The overall thickness. I am hoping to have it at about twice the thickness of the DS in the picture when I mash everything down.

Close up of thickness. You can see the copper heatsink I made just left of center and the red laser on the right.

Front side view. You can see the memory card A slot and the power plug right above it. Note that I have the portable tilted slightly causing it to look insanely thick in this picture.

Left side view. On the left is a 2-way switch in case you have a multi-disc game like Resident Evil 4. The screen has not been secured yet so it appears to pop out a lot. This thickness will be drastically reduced after I install the other half of the case. p2p -> gci -> link

Specs:
To be listed when the portable is completed

NOTE: This portable does not have sound or batteries - so it is technically only semi-portable. Those are the downsides. This is my first portable so please keep that in mind when critiquing it. I already have plans for another portable similar to this one and have many new items to continue my GCP worklog (that portable will be the greatest portable on earth, which is why it is taking so long ).

Sorry for the poor video quality. Unavoidable.

Note: this is NOT the same portable as the one on my worklog. This was a side project I did from leftover parts.

thanks man! I am almost done with the casing. Just need to relocate my L and R buttons and we're set. I have begun collecting supplies for my next GCP which will be much smaller and nicer looking

Re: Tchay's 1st portable Gamecube WITH PICTURES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I wanted your portable to have sound, so Dang it, I looked into it for you. I've found one guy that had this problem, and fixed it by replacing his PSU. Give it a try, if you have some spare parts.

Re: Tchay's 1st portable Gamecube WITH PICTURES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

maybe from the grounding, you cut off the 5-12v in spot thing trace, so no audio would work

What screen is that?

Hmm, interesting screen. May get it for my in-the-works Genesis 3 or C64 portable.

Wow, that is pretty Dang small for a Gamecube "handheld". If it had batteries and sound it would be perfect.

Re: Tchay's 1st portable Gamecube WITH PICTURES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

mmhmm, you gonna take apart that screen?

Re: Tchay's 1st portable Gamecube WITH PICTURES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Does the screen accept composite?

Something like this this.

If you go to Ebay, you can get it for much cheaper than that (like 32 bucks)

Something like this this.

I am working on my next one which will be smaller and have batteries and not suck

Too big for my tastes, you can get a tiny sound amp and just wire it to some small speakers.

Does the screen accept composite?

yes it does.

Re: Tchay's 1st portable Gamecube WITH PICTURES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Cool, I'm thinking of using something like that when I eventually make a portable. Also, I think your doing pretty good considering it's your first gamecube. A lot of people who make these incorporate the ENTIRE gamecube case into their design, and that sucks very bad. So far, you are doing good.

I guess we'll be seeing you later, Tchay... when will you learn, women are all serpents. They tempt you, they seem to be all peaches and cream, till they wrap around and you and BAM! The ball and chain will never let go, until one of you dies. Good luck is all I can say....
