Gamecube Mod

Post by Jott246 »

(I don't know if I can post this.)
I have a spare Gamecube and I want to make a Gamecube portable.
Where can I get the instructions on how to make it.

Thanks and God Bless!

There are no real "instructions" on how to make it. As far as I know. But you do need some supplies.

PS1 Screen (Official.).
Gamecube. I think platinum is best, as I've read it doesn't have a PRB.
A case.
Batteries. If you need help on this, ask Bigmac. Bigmac is very helpful.

Various supplies and tools; a Soldering iron, Marine Putty, and other tools.

You'll also need pinouts, unless your a genius. Which you might be.

There are no step-by-step instructions for making many portables, but most of it is just common sense anyway. (Connect the console's video output to the screen's input, attach enough batteries to last a while and supply the right voltage to both the screen and console, etc.)

As far as I know, there aren't any concrete instructions. The closest you will get to instructions is by reading the stickies and any GCp threads.

Building any type of portable is very similar, hook up batteries, screen controller, and put in all in a case.

EDIT: Dang, got beat by two people. Curse my slow typing :lol:

You dont need an official ps1 screen, but they are well documented here. You can use almost any screen that takes video in. You can also use Zenith screens, they have the same internals as the ps1 screens and are considerably cheaper.

That's what I figured. Although I wasn't sure the quality of the Zenith Screens. Would you have to mod the screen's video signal? I happen to have an Xbox one, and I want to use it.

You are too kind. :D

I forgot where I found this, but I stumbled upon a GameCube Portable guide a while back. In the credits it says it was written by Vishal (Elementxmaster) and Zach (Harshboy), so full credit goes to them. I can't find the original link so, I reuploaded it here.
