So ever since u/QuasarQuon posted his work in creating Project Phoenix (https://www.reddit.com/r/smashbros/comments/4gf89q/project_phoenix/) I have been thinking about the possible additions that could be made as well as the methods that he could have used to create such a project. GCVideo DVI knowledge has been around for a while now and there are plenty of youtube videos of portable gamecube mods as well as the creation of Project Phoenix which proves that the gamecube can be significantly downsized. Therefore the possibility for Portable Lagless HDMI Melee exists and has been around for a decent amount of time. The fact is that someone has yet (to my current knowledge) to combine all of the requisite modifications to do so. (Badassconsoles.com has been making strides in the production of a Plug N Play GCVideo DVI mod, and it is scheduled to release soon). So i am taking the time to create this post to educate the community and outline all the requisite information required to do combine these mods. All this information has been in the GC hacking community for awhile, i am no means presenting something new, i am simply compiling the information in one place so that people interested may have a place to start.
I have tried contacting u/QuasarQuon through various forms of social media to determine the methods by which he was able to minimize the gamecube and create Project Phoenix. Because he has yet to respond to my inquiries i had to surmise the methods through analyzing his video (https://youtu.be/SdUM5BeI7Zs) and doing some online research. I will split this into several sections detailing what each mod provides and links for how they can be done.

Mods Introduced: Continuing to Minimize the Gamecube, SD Card ISO Reading, Autoboot SWISS .3
After watching u/QuasarQuon video of Project Phoenix It seems as though it runs using home-brew software (SWISS .3) which auto boots on startup. There are very few options for this kind of home-brew setup and startup. Softmodding the gamecube would require the use of a Action Replay/SD Media Loader disc to load SWISS, since there is no dvd drive present this is not possible. The only options that remains are hardmods where you actually add a mod chip to the gamecube’s motherboard. There are two main mod chips used in the GC mod community: the XenoGC and the WASP Fusion (a clone of the WiiKey Fusion). As i understand it the XenoGC requires a SWISS DVD to run swiss and cannot boot SWISS solely from an SD card so that leaves us with the WASP Fusion Mod. Now to apply this mod you must install the chip to the GC motherboard and then flash the chip with SWISS. This installation would normally be quite difficult on its own but Badassconsoles has developed the MegaDrive which allows for a relatively easy connection of the original dvd drive port to the WASP Fusion. I am assuming that u/QuasarQuon used the MegaDrive v5 or a similar circuit due to its slim form factor. Once you have connected the MegaDrive you can proceed to flashing the WASP Fusion. The flashing process is relatively straight forward (you must have WiiKey Fusion 1.0 Firmware on your WASP Fusion for autoboot to work correctly) you can follow the guides below to do all of the processes previously mentioned.

GCVideo DVI (HDMI Gamecube Output).
Mods Introduced: HDMI Output, Resolution Software Next is the HDMI output, this is mod is a little bit newer than previous ones and is still being developed. Using the Pluto II controller you can use the digital signal from the gamecube to output directly to an HDMI enabled tv by replacing the digital output port. This allows for low latency digital output to lcd screens/monitors with a higher quality than can be displayed on a CRT.

Further Minimizing the Gamecube/Portable Gamecube Youtube Projects
Mods Introduced: Final Minimization of the Gamecube
NOTE: Removing components is done to reduce the size of the gamecube system so that you can put it in a smaller enclosure, none of these are really necessary except the removal of the DVD Drive which takes up most of the space in the gamecube, any additional removal of any of the memory card slots, gameboy adapter ports or general trimming is not required. It was through careful selection and removal of components that u/QuasarQuon was able to fit his motherboard into his 3d printed enclosure. Remove components at your own risk, you should plan and think this process out before hand.

Why is this important?
Honestly it might not be important at all, hdmi capabilities can be provided ina variety of different means, and additional portability isnt super necessary the gamecube and wii provided plenty as it is. But in my eyes this provides an opportunity for an advancement and improvement native to the gamecube system. CRT TV’s are a rapidly disappearing resource because they are no longer in production. As a gaming community we are always growing and changing. While doing these modifications is by no means necessary, it provides us another option to continually develop into the future of gaming. Additionally after seeing Project Phoenix I knew that those and other mods could be done to create an amazing game system, all it takes is someone who wants to the spend the time to do so with the proper information. As such this is a general guide and information resource for anyone wishing to do mods and create there own version of project phoenix.

NOTE: shoutout to u/QuasarQuon, Badassconsoles.com, gc-forever.com, and all the countless gc hackers out there for developing and implementing these ideas and projects i have mentioned. I am not the originator of any of this information i am simply compiling it together to present a possibility that i think is quite exciting and i believe is very possible. I am not in anyway an expert on this subject and if there are corrections to be made/i am incorrect in my assumptions please let me know. Also shoutout to u/bobbyscar you give great life advice and your podcast on the DesC https://soundcloud.com/thedescpodcast/the-desc-episode-6-be-the-change inspired me to make this post.
DISCLAIMER: this is by no means a comprehensive guide on how to do these mods, i am simply presenting compiled information. i am not recommending that you should do these mods. Any and all responsibility falls upon the reader for any damage caused by doing the mods listed here.
Gamecube Installation Instructions
Now only if this could be combined with the recent HD Melee Dolphin Background mods….*
EDIT 1: Change in 'Why is this important' section
EDIT 2: For those mentioning it, yes i understand that lagless HDMI output is completely possible using a Wii, the Sewell Adapter, and low latency monitors. This post is meant as a thought experiment and a proposal for people who are looking towards the future of native gamecube modifications. This is meant to be an exploration of the methods and possibilities inspired by Project Phoenix. I agree with and understand the fact that for many people these modifications take quite some effort and are probably to difficult to implement and that it would be much simpler and easier to use the previously mentioned setup, but in the end that isn't really the point of this post.

News from Consolesource
The Wiikey fusion is a brand new mod chip for Nintendo Wii by the Wiikey Team. This revolutionary mod chip will allow you to play your backup ISOs from any SD card or DVD.
The Wiikey Fusion, like all cable based modchips used a security flaw in the DVD Drive to get backups to run. The flaw was an audio debug line, that Nintendo left open. In the latest d3-2 drives that started appearing in Wiis in Europe and North America at the start of August 2009. If your DVD drive is a D3 version 2 it will not be able to play backups in disc format, but will be able to run ISOs from SD cards!
The reason we have added a tick for “any future DVD drives” is because the Wiikey Fusion is a total DVD drive emulator. In fact, you can actually take your DVD drive out if you want, and just load games from the SD card?
Order the WiiKey Fusion Mod Chip for as low as $44.95.
Wii Region Compatibility
The Wiikey Fusion works on every single region (PAL, NTSC-u, NTSC-j and KOREAN). There is a little region selector (dipswitch) on the modchip. Before installing the product you flick a switch for your region and plug in the modchip!
Wii Game Compatibility
Like all modchips from the Wiikey team, the Wiikey fusion will work with every single games from your region. There are no patches needed, no fixes to ISO, the modchip can boot any game without errors. You plug it in, and forget about it
Cross region compatibility is a little bit different. The Wiikey Fusion will allow 50~80% of games to work from other regions (backup or original). The % changes from 1 region to another, and is the same as any other modchip from the team.
The product will also allow Gamecube backups, and Gamecube games from other regions to work.
SD Card Slot ISO Loading, how does it work?
To be sure the Wiikey Fusion is 100% solderless, it comes with a SD card slot that you can use (you can route it to be an external slot hanging out the back of your wii). If you have a soldering Iron handy you will need to solder just 2 wires from the Wiikey Fusion to the SD Card slot on the wii if you would like to use the Wii’s own Sd card slot.
As we mentioned, its option to solder the wires, if you want to have it 100% solderless, you can still enjoy all of the features.
Anything that works through DVD, will load through the SD card slot in ISO format, including gamecube ISOs!
Wiikey Fusion Installation
Its very easy, just like the Drivekey! Open wii, disconnect the ribbon cable, plug in modchip, connect ribbon cable to modchip, close wii! The product is a fusion of the Drivekey product, and a SD card ISO loader (which is a worlds first)
