I wouldn't recommend trying that unless you have lots and lots of soldering and electronics experience. Even then, it would be a little nuts to do. No one here has ever made one. It would cost quite a bit and take a lot of time. Show us when you get it done.

the one thing i think that will be hard is the cd slots

Zaff, what he's saying is that your idea is not only unfeasible, but ridiculous and ridiculously expensive.

*Crushes all hope in some crazy noob-slaying rant*

If you want all 3 so bad, buy all 3 and stack them on top of each other.

And if they just have to be together, then wrap them in duct tape.

Really, we aren't saying this because we think you're an idiot, we're saying it because we don't want to encourage you to start out big and fail (as usually happens). You can't win the Tour de France unless you've already learned to ride a bike and have conditioned yourself, the same concept applies with modding.

And in my personal opinion, theres nothing gained in putting those 3 systems in one box. The cases they come in are about as small as possible (unlike older systems), and the resulting case would probably be larger anyways to keep it easy to work on.

1. Such a monstrosity would run really hot and wouldn't have an advantage over the three separate systems plugged in through an AV switch.

2. Why is this in the software programming forum? Moving...

(insert your own words for best effect):

i want to start making my own interstellar Spaceship like NASA and i was wondering what basic tools i will need and also does any one know how to make a Space Sub-Station for astronauts, Plasma gun like in Quake 3 and Ronald Reagan's Star Wars first-attack guided missile system combo system

(PS I have some sticky tape and washing up bottles, do they help). And a spell-checker.

Krylon fusion paint (for painting plastic)

As for making a Gamecube portable... It's really outside the league of a newbie. Even Trition has been working on one and hasn't got it fully working, at least to my knowledge. It would be better to start with something far simpler, like an NES (NOAC), SNES, Genesis or if you have some soldering skill an Atari 2600.

All the tools from above are required, plus a frickin ton of KNOWLEDGE

Start on a snes mini, or a nice NOAC

Why dig up this pointless thread, Basement_Modder? Let it die.
