gc-forever - Gamecube/Wii Forums

So, I built a Wii Laptop.











Vidya was taken with my iPhone. Sorry for the quality:



Specs:

Custom made bottom chassis, unit is roughly 15.5" x 11.5" x 1.75" when shut (screen & bottom together).
17" widescreen laptop monitor from a Dell Inspiron 1720
5000mAh 14.8v li-poly battery pack. Lasts a little over 2hrs on a full charge (god that screen is power hungry).
Lasts roughly 4.5hrs with the screen and other portable components turned off (wii only mode).
Stereo sound, headphone output. AV out (component only).
4x GC controller ports, Wii sync button, Wii usb port and "built in" removable 500GB USB HDD.

Here are some pics of the build:

All those electronics in there.....
looks like an Iron Man Mark V suitcase armor starter kit...

Uhmmm, yeah...wow. Very nice work, beautifully crafted casing as well.

FUCK!!!!
AWSOME!!!

Sorry, i use a WODE and i only know "homebrewchannel" and the WODE Forwarder...

What is TRIFORCE, NINTENDO SUPERNINTENDO,...?
How to get them?

This is pretty amazing. I actually have an old Dell inspiron (I think) laptop with a non working motherboard but the screen is fine, looks very much like the one you are using.

Benni, Triforce is an arcade system board based on the Gamecube, Nintendon't is a GC loader that doesn't require original games, while the compatibility is not as good as devolution, yet.

We've all been Ashen'd again, nice work!

Really beautiful work!

Beautiful as always, dude!

This exactly, it looks amazing.

also just found out that there's a way to play those Triforce games haha!

Thanks so much guys! Sorry for my late reply. Things have been crazy around here trying to get ready for Christmas. Updating first post with some specs. Cause, you know, I forgot to do that the first time.

Emu, I swear to god I'm working on that thing. Its just slow going atm as its gone through many revisions. Its coming though.

Happy Holidays everyone!

I'd forgotten about it almost hehe, I'm sure it will be awesome.

Merry Christmas

with that thing be compatible with my thing so you can add it in while your working on it?

This is neat
I think the simplistic design makes it better than it would be otherwise.

hahaha i hate you

Did anyone else notice the E-Cig?

I know this topic is pretty old and probably not on the forefront of your mind anymore, but I stunbled across this thread while doing some research into portable versions of various consoles. This seems to be one of the most streamlined and simple designs I can find, and I was wondering whether or not you can do builds for other people as a sort of commission.
