We have now seen some fairly spectacular retro gaming creations through the years right here on Nintendo Life. There was the large, fully-functional DS, the Mario Kart gaming cupboard and a LEGO GBA, however this newest construct shared by Macho Nacho Productions may simply be essentially the most spectacular that we’ve got seen for a protracted whereas (thanks, Nintendo Wire).
If the headline or the above video hasn’t given it away already, a pair of modders by the names of Wesk Retro-fit and CrazyGadget have developed a tool known as the GC Nano — the world’s smallest working GameCube that’s made up of actual Nintendo {hardware}.
As outlined in Macho Nacho’s video, the construct makes use of the Wii’s backwards compatibility, trimming the console’s motherboard all the way down to its smallest doable measurement. The result’s a tool that (excluding the absence of the working disk drive) is a close to an identical duplicate of the GameCube, however one which measures in at across the identical measurement as an authentic Recreation Boy cartridge.
All the particulars of the construct are shared within the presentation video on the high of this text, however we will not go away with out stressing that the gadget affords four-player multiplayer similar to the unique GameCube and runs all the video games with out the necessity for emulation. Now that is fairly neat.
The creators of the gadget have detailed each step of the venture over on the BitBuilt discussion board, although it does appear to be a construct that requires a good quantity of experience, so we cannot be making an attempt it ourselves in the interim.
What do you make of this pocket-sized venture? Tell us within the feedback.
