I fucking love people like you. It really makes me think as to why nintendo or third partys working on different portable consoles haven't hired you yet. The farthest i've gotten to technology like this was when I was in my technology class and i was able to convert a TI-84 Calculator to play GameBoy Color games, and it took me several months.
Chuckman02 Pretty much every rumor regarding the Switch has ended up being true and the Switch is more than capable of emulating GC games :) Nintendo has to be a different level of stupid if the Switch doesn't get GC and GBA vc
I LOVE this, man. So much care and love went into it, and it shows. Your craftmanship and attention to detail is superb. You should check out bitbuilt, the guys over there would love this!
I LOVE how the portable's video feed turns green when outputting to component. Gives it the "green visor" look of the Varia suit. No corners cut here -- this build really is Metroid to the bone! Sweet.
Holy crap that breakout box and that whole feature set is the MOST AMAZING THING Ive ever seen in my life! Holy crap id donate a kidney to have this thing!
Rebel3000 You mean multiplayer Smash Bros on this Varia Cube? I don't know if it supports multiplayer, but the Switch will; Each joycon is an individual controller for Smash.
Amazing! I love that you put a way to play on the TV and have more controllers! That is what everyone else is missing on their portable wiis. Really great job!
The craftsmanship is amazing. Most others I've seen are nowhere near as clean as this. It looks like it was made by Nintendo themselves. I will say the one thing I noticed is that the fan is rather loud.
Smoothest looking custom I've ever seen. Looks like something Nintendo would actually make, and I dig the whole Samus color stuff too. Great work dude, you earned my sub!
Amazing job you did with that. So detailed. I'll admit, I think it would be even cooler if it could actually play the original GC discs, but I understand that would probably not be very viable in a custom handheld device. I would imagine it would really take up a lot of hardware space as well. Thanks for demonstrating this.
well you can buy it off me send me a real offer for it to obr6837@outlook.com then you can have it for ever this is your one and only chance to buy it beause there is only one in the whole world
sorry I paid over 3000 euros for It and I won't sell it for any less that what i paid for it you should save up for a Nintendo Switch and hope it has gamecube VC but I can tell you the Vera cube is still going to be a lot better than Nintendo Switch
The D pad works now the only issue with the screen was that the screen flickkers in 480i but 480i always flickkers the flickering is completely gone in 480p. Anyway I am not going to sell it for less than $3000 USD so I am just going to keep it unless someone offers me a crazy amount for it
The best portable gamecube ever! If you see other ports, they dont have a big ass screen, and they dont have the sculpt of the controller so you can hold it nice and comfortable, this guy beats all of them
bruh i ve seen alot of console mods, from nes to xbox 360, and im an uprising modder/engineer. This is by far the best thing i ve ever seen. I wish i can make something like this in the future
Literally the only way I can see this being made any better is if the controller ports were integrated into the main device and the device had HDMI out. This is still beautiful and amazing, I'm in awe.
how much,can I get a bigger screen,can I get different colors, and can I get an option to hook it up to my HD tv and can I select the games it comes with? noticed its very loud any plans to change that? interested just picky hit me back up
Hi there, just wanted to ask a quick question about one of the controller changes you did. I was wondering how exactly you put on the DS-light D-Pad onto the controller, as I'd like to do it on my own. If anyone has any experience modding the D-pad, I'd really appreciate some guidance, as I haven't been able to find anything on modding the d-pad in this fashion. Thanks
What would happen if you connected a vga cable to a monitor then to the portable? And what would happen if you connected the breakout box to a monitor? I'm gonna assume things get fried....
This is amazing!!!... glad to see Nintendo is finally making the console that everyone wants with the Nintendo switch, one that goes anywhere with you and is the full console experience and not a dumbed down version
Brilliant. Absolutely brilliant. The ultimate Switch killer has arrived. The console which can play Switch and GameCube games... The... um... people say it’s the Switchcube, but maybe... Nintendo Portaboy? Nintendo Cubeboy? Nintendo Portable? Portaboy makes the most sense to me. Edit: Forgot about the title, sorry. Variaboy is a cool name but doesn’t make the most sense in a way. Edit 2: I meant Varia Cube. God, I need to read slower.
I wouldn’t buy this because I can just buy a switch and home brew the one I have to play GameCube games. Might not be the best solution but this costed nearly 600 whatever currency it is and a switch is half that price. I mean it works/look awesome and is amazing. Nice job on this.
I seriously would play wind waker everywhere and all the time with this if I could. Do wish there was a button to turn the fan on and off though, it's really loud.
My friend is a carpenter that works out of his garage he has a CNC machine and a 3D printer he said if I got a 3D file he could make it for me, if you used a 3D printer or something to create this and have a file still lying around could you link it to me?
Please answer! I need to know how the hell you got gamecube games to load on swiss. I downloaded quite a few gamecube games and tried loading them via swiss and all I got was a black screen that says error on the top. or sometimes it will actually work and I would be jumping in joy after hours of trying to get it to work only to see that there's no color, just black and white smh. so please if there's someway your doing this and it's easy for you please lmk! (Btw I use an sd card with the sd media launcher on my gamecube)
The Nintendo Switch if it was made in 2004
+Dank Submarinegold If the ports were on the bottom we could make a cube shaped docking system.
Dank Submarinegold
I'd rather have this than the switch
I have achieved something mum, I got top comment.
Top kek
hell yeah
This is definitely the best portable version of the game cube I seen so far
BeatboxHitmanTwo and probably the most expensive one
well I'm sure the Nintendo switch will be able to do this better tho
+Brandon 32204 :p
Brandon 32204 switch cannot be made at home because the nintendo company have a very special item inside of it
(maybe it's the device id)
I know right

Zero Black yes

I want a calculator that can play GB Color games
TheRaellz uh, no it isn't.
TheRaellz it’s not illegal if you use your own cartridges on the portable
@gamersinacontainer, true but these are obviously on an sd card and we have no proof of him owning any cartridges
Its like a gamecube with switch capabilities. I need that in my life forever.
Rumor says switch will be getting GameCube VC :)
i pray to the gaming gods that it will happen ;-;
Chuckman02
Pretty much every rumor regarding the Switch has ended up being true and the Switch is more than capable of emulating GC games :)
Nintendo has to be a different level of stupid if the Switch doesn't get GC and GBA vc
no analog triggers mate
BronzedMocha go buy the GameCube keyboard controller. Then mod it like the video.
Really nice modded Gamecube man, very nice. I would love one.
ProtoMario woahhh
BUT PROTO!
lol it's proto
Ikr?
Hi proto please notice me
This creation is legend.
Whoever did this... IS A GENIUS!!!
Legend27
the legend 27?
I tried to play Mario Kart but this one player keeps kicking my ass...
You called?
You NEED to make a DIY instrution video on how to make this!
Its very complicated
It’s insanely complicated and takes months to make. This took him 10 months to make. It won’t happen
The fact that you tore down an ascii keyboard controller is honestly gut wrenching
Probly the best custom handheld system I have ever seen the finish is very good
I LOVE this, man. So much care and love went into it, and it shows. Your craftmanship and attention to detail is superb. You should check out bitbuilt, the guys over there would love this!
You should sell more of these. I would buy one in an instant.
Monokuma In the description it says it is being sold
DarkLink1980 it said it was sold
he said he should sell 'more' of these. As in multiple.
Monokuma selling "multiple" would be an easy way to get a cease and desist from Nintendo or get sued
I LOVE how the portable's video feed turns green when outputting to component. Gives it the "green visor" look of the Varia suit. No corners cut here -- this build really is Metroid to the bone! Sweet.
You are a genius, this is the coolest gamecube portable I have ever seen!
this... this is art.
meanwhile nintendo releases a worthless mini NES that can't be bought anywhere
mind blowing job on this handheld man
Dee Jaay literally the 2 have nothing to do with each other......
ScroogeMcSplooge Nintendo is a fuckjob
funny guy You're worthless ahahah
This can't be bought anywhere either, at least, not for a decent price
This is insanely cool. Using the shell of the ASCII controller is such a fantastic idea!
Holy crap that breakout box and that whole feature set is the MOST AMAZING THING Ive ever seen in my life! Holy crap id donate a kidney to have this thing!
HaiKaiDo TaiKetChi What about the Nintendo Switch? It's almost ready to be released.
Patrick Ragland wouldnt you wanna bring this thing to smash locals?
Rebel3000 You mean multiplayer Smash Bros on this Varia Cube? I don't know if it supports multiplayer, but the Switch will; Each joycon is an individual controller for Smash.
+Patrick Ragland no smash yet
Great job man. Just that. You deserve to be congratulated for that little frankenstain you created.
Are you making anymore of these?
KenGreenmanFTW I wanna know
KenGreenmanFTW no one of a kind he said
but not strange for a gamer to say
The color combo has a very 90s feel to it. I like it
Why, why in the love of GOD would destroy a gamecube keyboard? Are you insane?
Got the keyboard still here, 100% ok!
+soepschoen hey how much did you sold it for and if I'm able to afford can you make me one :D
how much would it be if you made another and sold it?
Luis Calderon same I would also like to know
Luis Calderon is this the Luis I know? It's Hunter!
Amazing! I love that you put a way to play on the TV and have more controllers! That is what everyone else is missing on their portable wiis. Really great job!
The craftsmanship is amazing. Most others I've seen are nowhere near as clean as this. It looks like it was made by Nintendo themselves. I will say the one thing I noticed is that the fan is rather loud.
Smoothest looking custom I've ever seen. Looks like something Nintendo would actually make, and I dig the whole Samus color stuff too. Great work dude, you earned my sub!
i wish this thing actually exsisted because that would be so awesome
NovaBlast4455 Plays it does. in some lucky bastards house.
This is simply A-WE-SO-ME. IS THE BEST construction i have ever seen on my life. Very very good work.
please make these and sell on ebay or Amazon i will pay for a yoshi theme one with shrine sprites
>shine
hah lol (I'm sorry :( )
It costs around €570 and with the work he put in it would probably cost 800
Twilight princess one for me
Amazing job you did with that. So detailed. I'll admit, I think it would be even cooler if it could actually play the original GC discs, but I understand that would probably not be very viable in a custom handheld device. I would imagine it would really take up a lot of hardware space as well. Thanks for demonstrating this.
Some Gman-modz GC portables and some Hailraiser GC portables have actual disc drives , hell even a nice one made by BEN HECK ,,, 😸
I wouldn't sell that for any price.
well you can buy it off me send me a real offer for it to obr6837@outlook.com then you can have it for ever this is your one and only chance to buy it beause there is only one in the whole world
I have uploaded more photos of it here www.ebay.com/itm/182453601027?ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1555.l2649
Wut is up my dudes! I am Shigeru Miyamoto, I have early access Nintendo Switch for sale, only 12 thousand dolla, 100% legit
sorry I paid over 3000 euros for It and I won't sell it for any less that what i paid for it you should save up for a Nintendo Switch and hope it has gamecube VC but I can tell you the Vera cube is still going to be a lot better than Nintendo Switch

Seriously though that is the coolest handheld, no, emulator I've seen in my life. Wow. Amazing job, high quality
Looks like he hates metroid.
Ikr
Ikr
Ikr
Ikr
Ikr
this is beautiful. I wish I had one. Its so high quality and beautiful not to mention Metroid is one of my favorite series
Is that a real GameCube in there?
YES!
watch a gamecube take apart you'll be amazed how much nothing is really in there
MemeScreen no
It probably uses an emulator, sorry if it is just cumbersome with such a late reply.
Nope, original GC motherboard. Read the description.
The best portable gamecube ever! If you see other ports, they dont have a big ass screen, and they dont have the sculpt of the controller so you can hold it nice and comfortable, this guy beats all of them
But does it come with a toaster?
Chack and mate
sleight sloth You lying bastard I never got my potato
Aso, It sgood to FINALLY see someone else other than bacteria still making console portables! Subscribed!
that system came out beautifully great job
very nice best gamecube modified hand held I've seen so far
Why did you keep telling us not to use the blue port as a VGA port? It's not like we have one...
It's not supposed to be used as a VGA monitor connector. The breakout box he modded uses a VGA plug.
I know it's not a VGA port, but it just seemed like he repeated it many times in the video.
You need to make more of these! I would pay quite a bit for one of these. Very impressive work!
I'll win EVO with this
You wont make it out of pools with armadas controller
bruh i ve seen alot of console mods, from nes to xbox 360, and im an uprising modder/engineer. This is by far the best thing i ve ever seen. I wish i can make something like this in the future
How's the battery life?
I'm drooling at how awesome this thing is!
_now put it inside a regular sized GameCube controller_
This is pure insanity. Well done man that looks great.
time to change my boxers.
That's really cool. Reminds me of an article I saw in EGM way way back about a guy that made handheld versions of the PS2 and Gamecube
would literally pay $750 for this -.- you would make about $113.45 in profit or €103.37
Eclapsed Considering the cost of labor for this, that's not at all worth it.
Eclapsed If you like this that much, you should seriously check out the Nintendo Switch. It should only cost around $300 when it's released.
***** Is the Switch the reason why you have NVIDIA as your profile picture? 😂
He wouldn't make that much in profit if you count the work hours. This would cost more like several grand if sold for a fair price.
Gamecube handheld metroid prime or portable gamecube metroid theme so we could find your video easier, greetings, nice job 👍🏼
if the Nintendo Switch was released in 2001
Dude! That is one of the coolest things I have ever seen. Amazing Job!
Nintendo Switch: GCN Edition
Oh. It runs SWISS. That's pretty cool. Yay for homebrew.
To be honest, you could make a living off of selling these.
the thumbnail makes it look huuuge, but then when i watch, it's actually a good size! good build there
gamecube switch
This is truly incredible, I would love to see it in the classic GameCube purple and yellow colors
i like the new nintendo switch kappa
This blurs the line between portable and home console
the real GameCube itself is more portable than this
Henri yeah just don't forget to pack your tv and a Petroleum generator
Ohhhhhhh, you dunked that bitch hard.
+eoiny 224 hahahahah... its henri's way to tell his admiration...
eoiny 224 He talking about the handlebars that Nintendo decide to put on the GameCube for portability. That an old joke by OG gamers
Gamecube code name nintendo briefcase
What it that high pitch whine sound when powered on? i thought it was f zero, but i heard it come back when turned off and on.
-is portable
-has melee
PERFECT
The C-stick is replaced with a regular thumb stick. TRIGGERED
(I play claw grip and this disturbs me)
*Tears in eyes* IT'S BEAUTIFUL!!
Wow i wish you can sell that or your already sell it
Literally the only way I can see this being made any better is if the controller ports were integrated into the main device and the device had HDMI out. This is still beautiful and amazing, I'm in awe.
Love how modders have been building the functional equivalent of the Switch for years now...
nice big screen on it. nice see theirs still option for tv if person wants use it
one of the few gamecube mods i've seen, that looks nice
how much,can I get a bigger screen,can I get different colors, and can I get an option to hook it up to my HD tv and can I select the games it comes with? noticed its very loud any plans to change that? interested just picky hit me back up
Please could you tell me the putty or glue that you used to join the parts before sanding them
Wow the new Nintendo Switch looks super good!
I would definitely buy one if given the chance, please consider making more.
Salut , serait t'il possible de m'expliquer comment vous l'avait fabriqué
This is probably the best gc custom I've ever seen! So fucking sick!
I have to say this is amassing, I may have to try to make something similar if I ever get my makerarm.
Hi there, just wanted to ask a quick question about one of the controller changes you did. I was wondering how exactly you put on the DS-light D-Pad onto the controller, as I'd like to do it on my own.

how do you make widescreen for the wind waker without stretching the hud?
Part of my soul died when I saw **This item is sold** in the description
Hi ! It seems like the display is widescreen, but games doesn't look streched on games that don't have widescreen mode. How ?
This is beautifully made nice job sir!
What would happen if you connected a vga cable to a monitor then to the portable?
And what would happen if you connected the breakout box to a monitor?
I'm gonna assume things get fried....
This is amazing!!!... glad to see Nintendo is finally making the console that everyone wants with the Nintendo switch, one that goes anywhere with you and is the full console experience and not a dumbed down version
man u r a genius bro u made a masterpiece of tec i really like it
(Btw awesome portable bro, good job!)
Brilliant. Absolutely brilliant. The ultimate Switch killer has arrived.
The console which can play Switch and GameCube games...
The... um... people say it’s the Switchcube, but maybe...
Nintendo Portaboy?
Nintendo Cubeboy?
Nintendo Portable?
Portaboy makes the most sense to me.
Edit: Forgot about the title, sorry. Variaboy is a cool name but doesn’t make the most sense in a way.
Edit 2: I meant Varia Cube. God, I need to read slower.
I wouldn’t buy this because I can just buy a switch and home brew the one I have to play GameCube games. Might not be the best solution but this costed nearly 600 whatever currency it is and a switch is half that price. I mean it works/look awesome and is amazing. Nice job on this.
Now build a dock for it
I seriously would play wind waker everywhere and all the time with this if I could. Do wish there was a button to turn the fan on and off though, it's really loud.
I wish I could build this
This is how the Nintendo switch should’ve been like . You’re one smart man
My friend is a carpenter that works out of his garage he has a CNC machine and a 3D printer he said if I got a 3D file he could make it for me, if you used a 3D printer or something to create this and have a file still lying around could you link it to me?
any chance you have a guide on what you soldered where?
is there a way to change the desighn to wind waker or the look of the original controller
Where can I find these things? Please tell me. I wanna play Ultimate Spider-Man on this.
Please answer! I need to know how the hell you got gamecube games to load on swiss. I downloaded quite a few gamecube games and tried loading them via swiss and all I got was a black screen that says error on the top. or sometimes it will actually work and I would be jumping in joy after hours of trying to get it to work only to see that there's no color, just black and white smh. so please if there's someway your doing this and it's easy for you please lmk!
