Why even do a GC portable anymore? It seems obsolete since wii progression of portables... Just for the fun of it?? Power consumption and flexability are sacrificed greatly going with the GC over the Wii. But i bet you already knew that....

People might say the same thing about my N64 portable... we do what we want because we love it. Cheers!

I was just looking into that today too... funny you said that. There is a way to extract GC bios and inject it into nintendont so with wii and vWii nintendont homebrew it will start up with the gamecube dance and song. :)

I was thinking of experimenting with that soon anyway... id still choose the battery life and lack of clunkyness lol

Umm the wii is not emulating the GC games. The wii is a beefed up gamecube so it is too original hardware.

Still exited where this goes since its been long since someone made one.
