ok, but i need to know where to connect them to the lcd screen, Im assuming that thos are where you solder the wires on the gamecube, or on that site, does it mean the lcd. And also, i want to use the RGB port on the gamecube, even if i am using composite, right? the rgb port on my gamecube has 11 pins, thats right, right?
EDIT ok, i found out u use the composite port so heres a screenshot of the pins of the composite port. now to do composite i just follow the tutorial on that link that you posted right? And where do i solder the 3 wires onto the lcd screen? And the ground wires, where and what do i connect them to?

Ok, i got everything into my test case( its a cardboard box shaped how my real case will be ) Well, i didnt put everything in i guess( i couldnt open up the controllers!!!!!!!!!Gay nintendo screws! ) But everything else still works and i need to find a 6 volt battery with 5000 mah, im gonna buy two 6 volt 5000 mah to power the gamecube and a 7.2 volt 2000 mah baterry to power the screen.im doing mine longways, kinda like everyone's gcp has been made, but when i use it it will be held gameboy style, just because my setup seems better that way! Dimensions are: 1 in. tall( excluding the dvd drive coming out, it's about 2.3 in. tall at the spot where it comes out ) x 9 in. wide x 4 in. long. Well that's about it, i also found out where to solder the wires onto the psone screen. But still post if you think you have anything i might need.

for the controllers, just use a really small flathead screwdriver (like the ones used for eyeglass repairs) and fit it into ad screwdriver....if it's not too big and not too small, it should work :).
Without games my life would have no meaning.
Well, I guess it would, but it would be a lot less fun!!!!!!!

Well, third party use their own screws to close their things. Some are phillips, some are tri, some are something of a Star Wars flick. :P

Sorry to double post, but do you think this is a good battery to power the gamecube: http://www.all-battery.com/index.asp?Pa ... trCompare=

And will this one work for the psone screen:http://www.all-battery.com/index.asp?Pa ... trCompare=

Also do you think this would be a sutable portable case, it's free so i ordered it anyway :D : http://www.pactecenclosures.com/Plastic ... e_ABS.html

And this one: http://www.pactecenclosures.com/Plastic ... _Boot.html I like the first one, but i think the second one is better, whata you guys think?


Do you guys think if i made a adapter for any system to plug into the psone screen, would people buy it. Im talkin about a simple composite cable. like where you plug the yellow/red/white into a plug and then it turns into an adapter. But to use it you have to do the wires on the...ya no wut, heres a pic of what i mean:

Also i was wondering. can you use duct tape to hold down pcbs and stuff? I have done it before and there has been no sign of heating issues...so i guess its safe, if not i will go buy some electric tape( i have some but i lost it )

ok, i was wondering. Does anyone here own a Gamecube Microcon conrtoller (wired or wireless) I was going to use one in my GCp because it is the perfect size and it uses regular screws! Not those Gay nintendo screws. I also think it's a bargin price........$8.00 for wired....$15.00 for Wireless! And for an update, i put 2 A/V in ports on my PSOne screen yesterday. One for the Gamecube portable itself, and one for any other system. And my system features an A/V out that uses the PS2 A/V cable. So, how do you guys think this is progressing?

if you have a screw problem, and you dont plan to keep the case anways, you can just drill them out.

pick a drill bit that fits exactly into the screw hole, to keep it centered, then drill till you think youre through. you'll never be able to screw it together again but...
