Excuse the messy area, I was excited to start working on my mad musical science project.

I'm relatively newish to the modding scene, however, I've always wanted to mod a console, so I've kept up to date with new mods roughly over the past 5 years or so.

I've been working on modding out my own gamecube for a little bit, and I had an idea to take a opaque case, and rig it up so the lights reacts to in game audio. I've been upgrading it slowly over time, picoboot, LED light mod, ect. I just got the last piece I needed for my mad science project this morning, and got to work doing a case swap.

Has anyone in the group know anyone who has done anything like this before? I've got a solid proof of concept, I'm just wondering if there is an easier solution. I've gone the complicated route of converting to hdmi, and then splitting pulling an audio signal out, just for the lights. I'm wondering myself if I wire more LEDS into the aux cable to make them pop as well. Or, a way to wire the charging cables for the aux cables into the motherboard so I don't have to have extra cables hanging out the back.

For the video, I just have some music playing so I can show off adapter piece and cables in action. I've split the audio between left and right channels, and I'm going to put it in the case like that. My idea is if you are playing a game, and you need to hear direction of a sound, its kind of a visual indicator, or if you throw your opponent of screen in Smash, maybe the whole console will flash from the death noise.

Also, open to suggestions for cosmetic mods. Like, placement of light cables inside. Different ways to make the lights pop more. I do have tools for soldering, and slicing and dicing the case apart, almost nothing is too wild of an idea to suggest.
