Most modding sites should have tools for sale, for instance when I got an Afterburner kit for my GBA, they had the custom screwdrivers available. Although I actually fashioned my own using a spare screwdriver and a grinding stone (AKA. my back door step ;-))

A Google search for 'gamecube screwdriver' should point you in the right direction. :-)

Eyso has a point, if you do go ahead with something like this be prepared to say goodbye to:

(a) Your warranty (for definite)
(b) Your GC (quite possibly)
(c) Your life (not as likely)

Er, I think you will find cartridge-based systems are somewhat less noisy. ;-)

I use a few emulators... (UAE of course, Snes9x, ePSXe and even an N64 emulator, but that sucks 'cause I don't have an analogue pad.)

Of course, Nothing beats the real thing... except maybe having some actual desk space left ;-)
