"The full size discs run smooth?"
========
Yes full size DVD spin perfect. I had to trim the upper ring on the top part of the case for it to fit a full size DVD. You also have to have the DVD drive lined up perfect when it mates with the top of the case. This makes it so the actual DVD does not rub on the case.

"Are you planning on painting/dying the console? Maybe adding some Nintendo and/or Gamecube logos? That's what I'd do."
=========
I thought about painting it black to match the controller. But honestly idk. I may just leave it as is. I was also thinking about cutting a hole in the center of flip top lid, and installing the circular black mirror thing that recesses on the top of the gamecube flip top lid. (circle thing that says Nintendo Gamecube)
As far as chips go the store I used before (which is in canada) only has the xeno chip in stock. Place is great, I got my other purchase from them in like 3 days. (US) Gonna go with that chip!

Oh man, I forgot about the black circle logo on the disc lid. I would definitely do that!Whatever wrote:I thought about painting it black to match the controller. But honestly idk.

Are you talking about modchip.ca? That's where I got my Xeno GC chip from. They're great. Takes a little longer than 3 days for me to get my order, being that I'm in New York and all, but they're still great.Whatever wrote:As far as chips go the store I used before (which is in canada) only has the xeno chip in stock.

This reminds me about hot rodding stuffing a big block chevy in an Opel.

The only way to deactivate the ray beam and fight back the vampire alien threat is with a complicated series of foot patterns on the device's control board that looks remarkably like a DDR pad. We will all praise this man for saving our lives and buy him a mountain of stuffed animals.

Re: My Gamecube Dreamcast case mod
wow man this thing is wickid.....need a new GC shell to run full sized disces any how....did the controller ports all line up properly with the DC shell and every thing?
---looks at DC on shelf---
might be an optical illusion BUT it looks like the DC controller ports are spread a bit further apart than again the DC system is wider so like i said might be just an illusion
----wanders off to BST threads on forums internet wide----
wish you had images of making the DVD rom assembly fit im curious how that went as well

Re: My Gamecube Dreamcast case mod
Sega does when Nintendoes.
Maybe now Nintendo will acknowledge Metroid has a fanbase?
