It's not super involved, it isn't super awesome, but here's a build thread for an XBMC running Gamecube. Or, should I say a very small motherboard running XBMCubuntu in an GC case. Specs for system- -1.6GHz AMD fusion CPU, Dual core -Integrated 6310 GPU -HDMI out (x2) etc etc. Its the board I had for sale a while back. What I've done so far- Gotten GC gotten motherboard installed and tested XBMCubuntu What I need to do find a gamebit screwdriver and shell the GC install mobo into GC case mod case for ports get full sized DVD top case get Gamecube to USB adapters buy a new PSU that can actually handle the system etc etc Most recently completed/failed -PSU crapped out. It was stupid to choose 9v 1.3A anyways for a full computer. -ordered SATA HDD extenders because the board doesn't have a standard SATA port, just an HDD connector off the side (?) And pictures of course. Lastly, I need input on a couple things- willing to take anything/everything. -Name for the project? -Case colour? -General compliments/criticism Thanks! Will try and post an update every 3 days or so.
Real nice stuff here!! I was thinking of doing something similar. Raspberry Pi running XBMC but this will be integrated directly into my LCD TV casing. I thought on making a portable system with my old GP32 case but I would feel bad to simply destroy a perfectly working GP32. Moreover, that baby can overclock up to 220MHz... EDIT : A good name for your project could be GCMC, GameCube Media Center instead of Xbox Media Center.
A response! Thank you, it was getting dusty around here... I probably won't end up using it too much, but it'll still be cool to have. I'll have to think long for a good name as I'll probably end up painting it on to the casing. It's a good idea, but I was looking for a name rather than an abbreviation. Thanks though! Colour combo so far- matte black with neon green/orange/blue/etc detailing. I'm leaning towards blue.
A very small update- got the HDD extender in the mail. Still no sign of a gamebit screw driver, so really there is little progress. I don't think this needs photos.
