What if we have a completed project, like, in my case, a homemade gamecube sd card reader?

Well I don't know if I'd consider that a portable. I'd like to see a system modification (more then a simple case mod), or something like a Treamcast (running off batteries and have it's own screen), at the very least. If you'd like submit a few suggestions for ranking for people that have done small projects like that, or I can give you the wannabe rank, your choice.

Perhaps those who do smaller mods/mods in general could be given the title "Junior Modder" :)

How about his, 1-5 small projects earn you the title of "Modder". 5+ earn you "Major Modder". What you you guys think?

P.S. Until Luc returns or in someway becomes a regular visitor, feel free to laugh at his new title.

I think thats good, I just need to think of what I've done. What would be considered a "small project"? I've OC'd my GBC, built a charger into my GBC (those should count as two, even though their in the same GBC), LED modded a screen from a DVD player, and some more I can't think of right now.

Ok my completed progecktees

TGBC: My GBC With an extreme hot glue mod. (Fan handles, built in external light, shock protection hot glue spots.

Wii Mount '07: My old TV was mounted too high for my wii, so i remounted it parallel to me. I also installed a noac inside for fun.

GBC: (Ghetto boy color)Not too much of a mod, but my bro's gbc had its port destroyed so I installed a fan, new ghetto paint job, the port, and I made a new battery cover.

Gamecube sd reader: A GC/Wii sd card reader that goes into slot a to boat HB with SDLoad

Wii64 controller: A yobo n64 controller modded to work with a wii classic controller joystick. Kicks ass.

Pimp my snes v1: My bro's snes looked like crap so I painted it, installed a battery and fans.

Pics later.

f you could, I wish for a custom title, due to my love of hot glue and Niblet, I with to have the title Niblet 64, or Niblet with a hot glue gun

Yeah, but the media is unreliable once again.. Other sites started posting it, and posted it wrong, so I had to edit my site and get the story right.

I'd like a title! Now that I finally made a post about the Nintendo Stupendo being finished, I can post in this thread!

I also humbly submit my digital picture frame, as seen on <a href="http://www.instructables.com/id/EUDAPM2 ... ctables</a> and here.

Edit:
Digital picture frame numero dos!
