here it is.
front

and back

thats all for now, tell me what you think

Cool. I'm waiting on this mod.

cant wait...

You do know that all Nintendo stuff uses weird star shaped bolts. You need a special "Nintendo" tool to take it apart. Looks really cool, reminds me of the one over at Bit-Tech.

its just a torx screw :up:

I tried a torx driver when i tried to pull mane apart to make a clear plexi case for it and they didn't fit for me. Oh well, worth a shot.

It's like an inverted torx. You can get the security bits on ebay, or make your own by melting a plastic rod. Other than that, they're the same as NES screws, but with a different head, and the ones inside are Phillips, and they're exactly the same as the ones in the NES.If you want a bit from ebay, search for "gamebit" and you will get a list of them. Make sure you get the right one, because they come in two different sizes.

im pretty sure i will need a standard 5/32 socket screw driver like seem in this video

Interesting.

well... Canadian tire didn't have the socket screw driver i was looking for so i checked the dollarama and found this...thing, unfortunately it didn't fit

so i used a bit of "persuasion"

that did the trick

I then followed the video, here it is disassembled

heres the empty shell with the primar and paint

here it is with the gamecube and ati logos taped off

and finally here it is with the primar on

ill let it sit a few hours and then ill paint it black, so expect that update later tonight
