    Default Hailrazer's N64 in a GameCube Gameboy Player



    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 ?





    Well let's rip it apart and see.





    Hmm looks like it might work.





    But we need to trim it up a bit.





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








    Now for the hard part , let's get that darn N64 in there ...........

    So now I had to do some re-working.


    1. Add Ram HeatSinks
    2. Trim the N64 main board.
    3. Fold the cart slot.
    4. Trim and fold the expansion pak.
    5. Re-wire the controller ports.
    6. Wire power.
    7. Wire audio/video





    Wow !!! I got it to fit. Now will it fit with an Everdrive 64 in there ????


    YUP !!!!





    Now let's get those wires out somehow :





    1. Wire it up to the Gamecube power
    2. Wire it up to the Gamecube Audio/Video
    3. Add a switch to switch between the 2
    4. Add a reset button
    5. Add a power led.


    FINISHED PRODUCT !!!!

    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!

    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.
    Everything in the above post is opinion unless stated otherwise.

    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.

    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.

    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.
