GC64 laptop worklog

Post by weaver »

Hey Im making a gamecube/N64 laptop.
Here are some specs.
-11.1v li-po battery pack. (freaking expensive.)
-cased in small poker case.
-at least 12" screen.
-a few fans to keep it cool.

This project is not going to be rushed. It could take up to a year. I need to get a new job to fund this aswell.
Anyone got a cheap Gamecube to sell me. Does it have to be rev C to mod it?

Yes. This. Do it, please. I will love you.

edit: oh, and you can mod any Rev, its just easier to do a C because one of the small boards that is normally separate is integrated with the main board. Its, recommended, but not necessary.

thanks for the info about the revisions. I think I'll look for a rev C. Im going to get one a eb games, is there anyway I can tell what rev it is by just looking at the serial # or something.
Inless someone has one they are willing to sell.

Here's a pic of some progress.
basically just the cart slot is relocated.
I didn't do it myself it's from a half finished N64p I bought.

When I wire up the screen can the gamecube and n64 av lines be wired to the same av input on the screen?

Im in need of a nice LCD monitor with AV inputs. ust be 12" or under.
Also looking for a Gamcube revision C
and a 11.1v li-po pack(probably just get it from batteryspace.)
I got 2 x 3.7 li-po 4700 mAh batteries withn a 7.4v protection PCB and smart charger I could trade with some cash.

Yes, and why not buy another 4700mah lipo cell and the 11.1vPCB?

I already decided that I was going to do that but, this project is on hold right now until I complete my 360 laptop. It should be finished within the next 2 or 3 weeks if my screen comes in. I'm looking forward to getting it done and am really happy with the way it's turning out.

those n64 cartridge wires look very long don't make them too long or they will cause to much interfering with the game.
