I want to send him my gamecube, and I will pay him to turn my gamecube into a gamecube/n64/atari whatever that one modded console of his was.

OK, first off: If you had looked into this at all, you would have seen on his website that you can email him.

And second off, what are you trying to do? Send him a gamecube and have him do what? He can't make your gamecube into an atari or an n64, I PROMISE, and why the hell would you pay his rates (A LOT) when you don't even know what you're getting?

you can email him, but odd of him getting back are slim. make a WTB thread in the trading post. theres people on the forum that will make you a gamecube portable (i assume thats what you want, not an atari, or n64).

also, i approve of Snow's comment.

Well first of all lets leave all this fantasy world thing aside and focus on reality.

Sure I don't think it's impossible to have a gamecube, N64, and an atari joinned together all in one portable, however, don't expect this portable to be small in size :wink:

http://showcase.benheck.com/pezzapoo_ja ... r_124.html" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

I want to buy something like that, I can send someone my gamecube to be changed into that, but how much would something like that cost?
And if it is possible, could someone also put a modchip in the gamecube?
If so, what would the total cost be?

Benheck did not make that.

Expect at least a few hundred dollars for something like that, plus parts cost.

From Ben, I'd expect it to run closer to 1-1.5 grand. This isn't a hobby for him, it's a full-time job. Also, while he likes unique projects, you'd be surprised at how many "I want console X, Y, and possibly Z mixed into one box" requests there are. Realistically, it's stupid, unnecessary, and unless you're done with school and well-established with a job that pays well, his stuff is probably out of your range.

Actually, he's said he doesn't like N64's and he'd charge a couple thousand just to do one of those... unless he was exaggerating.
It takes a big man to cry, but it takes a bigger man to laugh at that man.
