I want to modify the gamecube case so a regular size dvd will fit inside + I dont want it to look like ass, any ideas?

Grab your trusty dremel and carve out the area you need to have the DVD move in, I would also give atleast one centimeter of space between the edge of the DVD and the wall of the GameCube.

I'd also want to ask are you planning on putting the guts of a DVD player in to the GameCube, as I have no idea how you'd use DVD in the GameCube otherwise.

But the GameCube disc drive laser can only move enough to reach the edges of a GameCube Optical Disc. Unless you plan on replacing the whole optical drive assembly, I don't see how this could work. The only GameCube compatible full-size optical drive assembly would be in the Panasonic Q.

He just said he doesn't want to buy mini-DVDs to play backups. Those backups should only need to be written as far as a Gamecube disc goes, so it makes perfect sense for him to do this, actually. Good thinking, peppers!

But... shame on you

I have an idea but i dont know if it will work. Cut off the lid, and raise the laser so that the disc spins on top of the case. kinda like bens first PSp.
