ok well after getting into the whole hacking seen and putting homebrew on my wii and what-not i found that portable hacking was quite interesting. so i'm going to be making a portable gamecube out a a few that i have lieing around.
i have two gamecubes (DOL-101 and DOL-001) both are ntsc with no mod chip. i have a 5.4 intec screen that has S-video, AV IN, AV out and what ever the ones with the red, yellow, and white wires go to XD.
i also took apart a gameboy player and am trying to use that as well.
can't take any pictures as my camera is broken but as soon as i get a new one i will

still need to get:
-case
-batteries
-an extra gamecube controller
-maybe a modchip?

edit:
would this battery work ? http://cgi.ebay.com/IHS21-CCTV-12V-RECH ... 286.c0.m14" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

why not use your wii? It's much better for a gamecube portable...

That battery looks a little big (not sure about that) and is a little underpowered. Shoot for something near the 3000mAh range.

Other than that the voltage is right

i don't want to take the risk of messing up my wii. I would rather mess something up that is easy to get and cheap.

[hackmodford]

Fair enough...

[joeyjoe9876]

why did i buy an intec screen....
well i need a new screen lol.. also need money >.<

[hackmodford]

why did i buy an intec screen....

Agreed! They're horrible aren't they! Stick with Psone screens...

[joeyjoe9876]

probaly the worst screens for portable making lol

If you need a battery, go for: 6500 mAH Li-Ion. It includes a charger too, and it's only $36 shipped.

thats pretty cheap think i saw that while i was lookin before
well since i have no good use for the intec screen shell i got i thought "why not make this a Gamecube Laptop?" the reason being that were the xbox logo on the inside is supposed to go fits the top of the Gamecubes disc drive perfectly almost! heres a pic

so i started to cut holes for the controler port but haven't done the screen yet, still trying to find the biggest one i can that works with the gamecube

You should buy a modchip.

Why?
And how is that even relevant?

[Nintendott]

It makes it region free and you can play copied games

[joeyjoe9876]

if i get a modchip it would be after i got everything else. but i am looking into them, i got like 20+ backups lol

[64M320N3]

I know that. But still, how is it even relevant? It just kind of came out of thin air.

[joeyjoe9876]

i mentioned it in my first post
