Retrocube idea: Cool or just too expensive?

[miked]

It goes a little something like this.

Gamecube + Sd Media launcher for SNES, NES and Genny emus + GB Player for GBA/GB(already have this stuff)

NES GC skin from Decal Girl: http://www.decalgirl.com/browse.cfm/4,2551.htm

SNES and NES to GC controller adpaters from here: http://www.retrousb.com/index.php?cPath ... f7ad4a0e86

And some SNES and NES controllers of course. Notice the price of those adapters.......Once I got controllers too Im gonna be out of a decent amount of cash. I guess I could skip the NES ones though, but I would have to have at least one to take some pics of it matching

I must say that NES skin is pretty horrible.

The rest sounds good. I always wish I picked up one of those game boy players, but now I don't have a gamecube anyway.

1. I like the NES skin.
2. I say go for it. Lately I feel like the GC + GBPlayer combo is the greatest system.

I dunno the aftermath of skins is usually awful.

How good are the SNES/NES/Genesis emulators for Gamecube by the way?

Can these be launched from an SD Gecko?

Modman: Decal girl claim they are "repositionable/removable". But yes its very sad to see a used machine at gamestop or a pawn shop that has nasty brown dust ridden adhesive all over it.

Flak: Very good actually. The Gen and NES are damn near 100% perfect with only a minor sound glitch here or there. The SNES runs pretty much everything full speed except games that had extra chips like super fx etc. The only game I find unplayable is sadly Yoshi's Island. It throws off my timing and I miss alot of jumps and run into alot of stuff for some reason. Luckily I can play it on the GB player.

It should support the sd gecko just fine too.

The adapters on the Wii for Virtual Console are cool.. you can play them the way they were meant to be with NES, SNES controllers..

I think the skin is pretty cool. I would never get skin for a console, but I do like it.

Sweet the adapters just managed to go down $2 a piece in the last 15 min lol. I guess I will go for it.

That skin is pretty sweet. And I think it would be a cool idea. Maybe even look for that zenith LCD that fits on top the GC and plugs directly in the unit and paint it gray to match the NES skin. I have one and it gives a great picture for the money and size. Also, I believe there was a battery from intec that ran the GC for close to 2 hours. Although, I'm not sure how good it is or if the battery life is accurate as I have not used it myself. Good luck
