Modders CrazyGadget and Wesk Retro-fit have built the world’s smallest GameCube console, called ‘NANO’. This tiny console uses real Nintendo hardware, along with custom button / controller boards for build simplicity, GameCube video digital HDMI output, an internal SD card with a USB MUX so that data can be loaded directly via USB-C, and a USB-C PD for power.
Aside from the 3D-printed case, the build requires a wireless U10, NAND relocation and AVE-HDMI installation. This means building your own GameCube Nano won’t be difficult for those who have done them before, but each part has to be carefully inspected and tested between every step. After confirming that it can boot up, the custom PCBs need to be assembled and retested.

Initially I wasn’t very sure of the Nano as my prototype case designs all lacked both the quality and design I expect from my projects but as time went on and I began fleshing out more and more of the design and how it would assemble I started to become excited at what the project had evolved into. Since the size of the model is so small it allowed me to do quick print iterations which in-turn allowed me to dial-in the print design far more than any other project I’ve worked on,” said CrazyGadget.
