LOL - I nearly burst out laughing (which wouldn't have been good because I'm sitting by myself and everyone would think I was nuts or something!)

How about this:

In Soviet Яussia, screens LED mod YOU!
In Soviet Яussia, circuit boards trim YOU down!
In Soviet Яussia, you still lose at Tetris! :D

In Soviet Яussia, 12v powers YOU!

In Soviet Яussia, YOU require 5.5v, 3.3v, and 1.9v!

Edit:
Hey SS, quick question: if Gamecube only requires the 12v for audio, wouldn't it be possible to power a 'cube portable with 6v and not have audio? Audio would work when it was plugged into the wall, and most games do not strictly require audio to play...

Yes, if you discovered how to build a regulator that would split it up and actually get it to run. So far nothing really works.

Shame. You can get six volts with 4 AA batteries (not that that is too useful, but you could run 8 rechargeable AA batteries and double the life).

Actually regular AA's and rechargeable AA's can't hold a load like a gamecube at all, I tried it with the n64 and it only lasted 2 minutes. The voltage drops fairly quickly.

But I bet they were an awesome 2 minutes! :lol:

That sucks though that they don't work, but I was just throwing that out as an example. The rechargeable RC batteries would be better anyway.

Yes, they were awesome minutes, I new I didn't want to use AA's, the reason I built it was because I wanted to test out all of my stuff so far, then I tested how long it would last, everything works, but I only had a portable for those 2 minutes. lol

Hook it all up to one of the charging circuits from a wind up torch; destroy your wrist while playing and deafening yourself in the process...

Great work tho! Is that the xbox you got for cheap after the MGC?

Nah, it's just one I bought on eBay for $11.

Haven't done anything yet with the MGC XBox. Actually, thinking about it, it's the only stock XBox of 3 I have that I have - the other two I've cracked open, softmodded, and upgraded the hard drives.

I know it's long-dead, but I just wanted to remind you that two minutes in heaven is better than one minute in heaven.
