As for the controller I still have to find something that can turn those nintendo screws!!!!Or I could just buy one from Nintendo.


How exactly did you open it up?? me and my friend are making 2 GCps together, and we want to know how to open up the controller and gamecube... without damaging anything.
Sorry i'm new to this forum, and to console modding, hacking, etc. and i just thought u'd be one to ask for advice, considering you made one :D

ok, first you take a dremel, and then you ram it into the screw posts, MUAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!........seriously, that's what I did, just a bit more careful than that ;).....aim for just below where you can see the screw heads and after breaking all the screw with a dremel, it should open up fine without any damage except for the case :)
Without games my life would have no meaning.
Well, I guess it would, but it would be a lot less fun!!!!!!!

Or just get the special screwdriver from eBay. It's really not that expensive.

Pen is best if you want the system intact and dont have money or time for shipping.

or take a screwdriver (flat one) and start using something like a saw and saw that screwdriver1! SO ITS LOOKS LIKE THAT:

Code: Select all

                    [ ]
                   /   \
                  [ /\ ]
                  [/  \]
I'm making a Gamecube portable.

I was thinking about a GCp, with a Hip Gear screen all built in a case that resembles a Gamecube Controller (about 2 times the size of the Logic 3 controller)
