Hardware 3DS XL Hardware Mod Concept

[nukeboy95]

I think it looks quite ugly plastering "Gamecube" all over it especially when it's not a gamecube and doesn't have any GCN games, but the buttons seem fine. Also, do you know what you're even getting in to? You're gonna need a circle pad pro also.

No. Ports don't count.

do sequels count?

I was referring to the Zelda Collector's Edition, btw, not the Oot remake. Should have mentioned that, I guess
I supposed we could count LM: DM

Goodness, a built-in Circle Pad 3DS? It's just like in my dreams, save for the money-printing feature!

Best of luck on this project! It's certainly a formidable one, to say the least!

looks hard, but certainly possible with extensive experience and equipment in CAD and rapid prototyping
(maybe even one of those cheap new 3d printers might good enough, I don't know how well they can do hard materials)

you will have to separate the lower part into an upper and lower halves and insert you own stuff in between
the screen and original slidepad will remain in the upper part but the board (and thus everything else too) will need to go down to make space for the additional slidepad
luckily those are already separate parts
the buttons/cross presses can probably be forwarded by mechanical adapters (spacers)

this free space can then hold the two new shoulder buttons, the electronics from the CPP and the larger battery too
if the CPPs IR is placed directly above the one fron the 3DS they should be able to comunicate

after the rough placement is decided a new case is needed to hold it together
its exact design and manufacture is the main challange of the whole project

People started making guns that actually fire with certain types of materials used. Caused quite a stir since most gun control assumes that people can't make their own.

Looks pretty good, dont understand the Gamecube references though.

Impressive and disturbing yes, but the printer they used was a professional model (with a cost of 32,000+ USD according to the manufactorors page).
With cheap I meant the RepRap/Makerbot kind (more around 5 to 10% of the cost iirc)

Additionally their wall strength/thickness was much higher from what I can see.

Anyone know how I could do something similar but just change the button to coloured one like on the new 3ds?

BIGGER FONT IS MORE DRAMATIC
NECROBUMP NOOOOOOOOO

What's with all the necrobumps lately?
To answer the question, i doubt it was completed. Have my doubts it was even started tbh.

Yea we already have this called a New 3DS XL
