I finally got time to do another project.


I have always wanted to combine an N64 and a Gamecube. But how to do it?
Well I had a GameBoy Player laying around ....... would it work ?

But we need to trim it up a bit.

Now let's see if we can get some controller ports in there.

Did you use any of the pins in the EXT port that the GBP connects to, or just wire it into the AV out?

I wired it into the A/V of the Gamecube and into the Gamecubes power.

Not at all a fan of the Knight Rider light bar, but strong work otherwise!

That is super cool! Tips my hat to you for a job well done :D

[Satoshi_Matrix]

Thats nuts man.

but why the LED mod? That looks......garish. Why did you install that?

[Oldskool]

Looks good! My Nomad with the LCD mod you did still works well

[kupomogli]

Nice. I was wondering how you'd change games, but then you mentioned in the video you had all the games that came out loaded onto one SD card, so just get a big enough SD card to keep them all.

[jonjandran]

Thats nuts man.

I had it and I wanted to install it. A LOT of people like it. So ......

[Greg2600]

Very cool! Do you run GC on component video? Does N64 go through that?

PS: The full US N64 rom set, even with prototypes, is under 5GB, so you can get an 8GB card for the Everdrive and be fine.

[wiggyx]

The GCN needs a special cable to output component video, and the N64 needs modding to do so. I sorta doubt he bothered with all that mess.

Heh, at least if the cops come in to bust him for using a flashcart full of ROMs, he can just blind them to death. :D

Or just show them my 2000 + collection of Nintendo games and tell them to go fly a kite :)

[BlastProcessing402]

Cool.

I wonder if you could do the reverse and get a GBP into the N64 shell. Probably not since you'd need to get the whole GC into there as well, including the disc drive to run the boot disc, but if you could that would be freakin sweet.

Now add another Game Boy Player to the bottom!!
