I'm sorry the quality of the picture is low but the screen had a good quality.
My gamecube had two fans for refresh all system, the case is a mix of the original case and piece of wood, I had lots of fun to build it
I have use the REV001, a screen of a portable dvd player and two original controllers, I have spend about 4-5 week to finish my project
To realized this I have use the topic of KASAR, all thanks to you !
Give me your opinion about my work please !

It's beautifull!!!!!!

Good Work man!

Aluminium paper??? Looks great!!!

this thing is very well made and designed, but why did you wrap it in in foil?

It's not aluminium paper, it's aluminium adhesive tape. It's look good
In few time I post a video of my portable Gamecube

It's not aluminium paper, it's an aluminiun adhesive tape
In few time I post a video of my project

loving it <3

how many time you get while playing on batteries?

very nice job Manu

All thanks to you Kasar !
I'm not playing on batterie bacause Idon't anderstand how make a battery system
Can you give me a good tuto made by you for this ? If you haven't time it's does not matter

hehe, well, my guide is pretty basic.

thank you for the credits anyway

well, the batteries are one of the easier parts, I am surprised you already made the hard parts like controller cut and wiring and stuff like that with no issues but had trouble with the batteries

well, I recomend,to use this:

viewtopic.php?f=41&t=32713

if you have a rev A gamecube, you will need to wire the batteries directly to the gamecube power/regulator board.

about the screen, if it works on 12v , you can also connect it directly to the screen.

then add a switch at the + (red wire of the battery pack) wich will work as the main switch to connect the batteries to the whole system (gamecube+screen)

also make a connector to charge the batteries with an external charger (I highly recomend to not play meanwhile recharging batteries)

14.8v battery packs works pretty nice for gamecube laptops.

if you want something simple, you can use this:

battery (4400 mAh may got your gamecube working arround 1-2 hours on batteries, if you want larger play time get 2x those batteries and wire the packs in parallel)

you can charge them with this charger

you can also get this:

the wiring is pretty simple, I'm sure you will get it with no issues

just check the polarity twice before connecting the stuff and everything will be OK ^_^

Thank you Kasar, well hum...I don't have enought money for this, it's one of the reason I not use a battery system, maybe when I build a second one and when I have money I'll make a battery system
Your tuto is beautiful, thank you !!!! Now I can play the legend of zelda almost anywhere
I post a video on youtube in a few time, it's in french but you can see more of my design

oh, yeah, the money ^_^

well, in my case that is why I used a laptop battery pack, tweaked it to work with the portable and used the original laptop as charger ^_^

it even let me play while charging

well, dont worry, you dont need to make another portable if you find a cheap/nice battery pack, you can upgreade existing portable

I upgreaded mine several times to add the led mod, the second controller plug and the chip usb external connector.

thanks also for your comments, it will be nice to watch your video

Well, I have now share my video on youtube, this is the link :
