GBA SC

Post by Mr. Cool »

Hello Everyone.
I was bored today, waiting for my batteries to come in for my near completed PS1p,and I had an idea. I was looking at my Gamecube controller, and realized that a Gameboy advance is about the same size. I looked up the size on the internet, (as I dont own a GBA), and I found that it is just about a mm or two bigger. Without the case, it would fit perfectly. I would put the batteries in the handles, the screen over the start button, and somehow use the original Gamecube buttons. I would either use the d pad, or some how the analog stick, however that would be very hard. I would also have to modify the controller case so look almost like a wireless controller, in that there's no space between the C stick and D pad. If all goes well, Im thinking of selling them on ebay for $60 - 80. I would call it Gameboy Advance SC. (Super Comfy)

Where would you propose to put the SP's actual board? There isn't enough lengthways room in the pad.

I should probably rethink the GBA board issue. Maybe I could put some plasic on the sides of the controller to make it wider, and then sand out the inside. Does anyone know if this is possible, and what plastic should I use? The thing that Cennar said sounds cool but could be complicated, however I think Ill try it. I dont really want to use a wavebird controller, because they're to big and expensive.
