Handheld Gamecube......

Exactly. And a laser is a lot more focused than that, so its even worse.
So keep it away from your eyes Smile

which I do Wink

.....also, I'm working on making a disc drive cover Smile

It's too bad Nintendo has a proprietary disk there, or I'd say to build in a slot loading drive.

Sony shoulda done that with the PSP.

slot loading drives take up more power, though Wink

Really?

Other than the power needed to pull the CD in (which is almost trivial), they should draw the same amount of power for the laser.

yeah, the extra power is in powering the motors that pull in the cd.....for the GC, I suppose it wouldn't be much of a factor, as it's power consumption is already pretty high, so a few more ma wouldn't be too bad....as for the psp, the reason they didn't go with a slot loading drive is 'cause they need to save as much power as they possibly can (only 50 more ma of power would decrease the battery life by almost an hour....although I'm not sure how much the draw would be for a slot loading drive motor...)

But isn't the motor off when you're not putting a CD in? As a result, wouldn't the affect be minimal unless you're swapping CDs every two seconds?

oh yeah

...........I guess then the reason is 'cause there's more small parts and therefore there's a higher chance of it getting broken Razz

sorry if this sound noobish....but what if you tried to make the gcp out of a ds?
my extent for electronics goes no further than the power switch =)
anyhow kudos on the gcp.

well, trying to make a GCp out of only a DS would be like trying to get the Game Boy Color to play N64 games...unfortunately, it ain't gonna happen Sad

........but you COULD use the DS as a screen (using the GBA AV in adapter) and have a "GC almost portable" unit plug in somehow Razz

Dunno if you are a hardcore GC player and refuse to hear any ideas suggesting any other gamesystem..... but if you are willing to use other gamesystems i have a project for you.
But you would have to make one for me son as well =)
That is ...at cost if you could do it hehe. Anyhow if you are interested lemme know and maybe itll be more than just an idea in my head.

To all cube lovers: Wouldn't you like to have a handheld gamecube, so that you could play Metroid Prime, Zelda, and Mario at the bus stop? Sure, anyone would, which is why have been building a GCp, set to be finished in the next few days Very Happy

!!!!!!!!!!!!! It's taking me about 9 long months but it's finally about to be finished Very Happy

. Here's a pic:

I might be making a tutorial on it too, so that everyone can enjoy the GC anywhere!!!!!!!!!!
anyway, hope you guys like it Smile

That looks fake, Are you seriouse or kidding? honestly

Dude.thats FRIKEN AWESOME!! Gamecube Portable...whats the average length of the battery life? Do u charge the battery? or is it like a car battery=p.

you should try to make a handheld N64(like the Size of the DS)

Posted: Tue Jun 07, 2005 3:04 am

actually, I HAVE built an N64p....actually, about 3 and a half (I'm still finishing the fourth one)....check out this place for all things portable Smile

(at least, homemade portables Wink

)

and the average battery is about 2 1/2 hours Smile

(and they can be recharged!!!!....in only an hour!!!!!)
