Tried to get a good picture of the image quality on the screen, this one does it semi justice.

Special Thanks:
There are so freaking many people I should thank, and I don't want to leave anyone out so... I'll sum it up into two category's:
Emu_kid - For making this all possible in the first place.
EVERYONE - who has contributed in some way to the GameCube portablizing scene in the past months, so many new discoveries have been made and there are just to many people who have been there to help test, provide idea's or just provide general support/manlove, etc, etc. You guys all rock! You know who you are.

w00p w00p!!!

I actually thought about having a humongous USB flash drive built in. But I decided against it as I'd have to regulate a 5v line, which would just be a waste on the batteries when I wasn't using it. SD loading is good enough for me.

Lol

Thanks everyone! Hopefully in the next two weeks or so you'll see the finished product.

Sick! Nice work, keep it up!

whats the little board under that wode mate?

128mb memory card.

Very impressive work!

just realized component output!

any idea how long those batteries last?

Yep, Pulled out all the stops on this one. Component cable is modded to output VGA (RGBHV) to the same screen that is in the first two GameCube Fusions. The image quality is B-E-A-utiful.

3 hours and 27 minutes

I love these posts. We got a lot of these the last days.

I love posts with "shut up and take my money!" xD

I won't be selling this one. However, if you/anyone really wanted to commission me to make one you'd better start saving now. Commission price for this model will be $1000.00 USD. With half of that price needed up front as a security deposit and to cover build costs. More than most people are willing to pay. I know it sounds ludicrous. But the build costs and time invested (months) spent to build one of these totally justifies it.

If you're REALLY interested in building one, there is all kinds of good information I've posted on these forums and over on the modretro forums that will help you build your own.

Shockslayer currently has a GC portable for sale over on modretro. I believe he is/was asking for $500ish:

Damn! This one is just too sweet! Awesome work!

simply amazing, I really struggle to think how you can top such a unit!

Wooaaah it's awesome!

yeah really unbelievable. how do you build the case? it's like factory made
