Open Gamecube

[Shuffle]

Anyone know how to run a Gamecube with the lid open?

 

[SSC]

I don't think you can.

The one question everyone wants to know:



Why the hell would you want to do that in the first place?

Because I like to, dammit! :P

I like to run the PSX and cd players with the lid open, its fun!

Well, if I remember from reading a Dreamcast modding guide, that kind of stuff is done using an L-shaped metal rod thing and a spring, usually at the opening/closing gear/axis. The Gamecube should have something similar to that. Of course, I can't confirm, since I don't even have one myself XD

You'd probably have to tape down whatever switch inside recognizes that the lid is close. I did a similar thing with my Sega Saturn to make the disc swapping trick easier. In fact, the entire top half of the Saturn is now gone; the system doesn't care since that switch is down. :P

Well I dont think I wanna go THAT extreme. ^^

 

[Chompy]

Yes goto the extreme, it's fun, and you might break something! :D

 

[Shuffle]

No, thats okay ^_^;;;

I'm Not Sure you can I was looking at my Cube one day because I was bored. I don't think you can access that area. One thing though, Seriously, Why would you want to do that? :)

 

[Shuffle]

I already said why I would want to do that.

You might be able to access the area with one of those twist ties.. although.. I dont know where the switch is..

But you didn't SERIOUSLY say why you wanted to do it.

 

[Shuffle]

I just said I didnt wanna pull the lid off.
