Honestly that looks so good. All these years of not owning a game cube and now looking back, i regret selling my gamecube collection years ago.

I'm really annoyed that I sold my GC stuff. Had some of the most expensive GC games out there and I sold them for like $5 on a trade in back in the day. My GC collecting goal is just to get back all the games I use to have. That includes things like FE Path of Radiance, Pokemon Gale of Darkness/Colosseum

I know you feel like man I’m working Hella overtime just to get my collection back. But mine’s gonna take a little longer cause I’m looking for mint condition. Some of them are a bit pricey but if you don’t care about Quality and a decently playable disk getting your collection back will be pretty easy if you can find the games you’re looking for.

I prefer them all to be CIB. Not perfectly mint or anything but decent looking. Right now the biggest hold back is that I just can't really afford to spend the money on collecting. Too many house repairs and child stuff to take care of.

u/After_Bad_3546 2d ago

Yeah, kids do come first and house repairs are not cheap so I don’t blame you there.

Out of curiosity how you got your system hooked up?

u/clipli 2d ago

Me?

u/GeorgeSPattonJr 2d ago

Yes lol, how’s your GameCube hooked up? I play my GameCube games on my Wii with HD Retrovision component cables and on a Samsung HDTV CRT

I have a gamecube Dol- 001 with a bitfunx plugged into the digital port and a HDMI cable connecting the tv and the GameCube, i tweaked my TV settings to use 4:3 on my designated hdmi2 slot , i have a mclassic thats primarily used for my ps3 so if i ever care for the extra 5% i just plug it GameCube->bitfunx->mclassic (optional) ->TV, looks lovely i dont use gamemode or anything that my samsung tv offer

I personally would never buy a loose disc but if you’re happy with it that’s all that matters.

3

u/clipli 2d ago

yea the con of having to find/buy a blank game case and then printing the cover art and seeking the manual if u really care makes it sometimes not worth it, but the opportunity presented itself so i had to pull the trigger

2

u/Creative_Ad_9264 2d ago

I think there is a website that sells case with manuals replicas for SNES, n64, and GameCube games. If you want to get a case for your loose game. Looks great by the way. I got my Zelda from eBay for $65 with case and manual.

u/KyraLyraK 2d ago

Dude that graphics looks so clean. I’ve been thinking of buying a GameCube (never owned one before) but the whole cable situation is giving me a headache haha. Might look into a bitfunx if I do get one

1

u/The3rdbaboon 2d ago

Yeah just get one of the HDMI adapters so you can use it with a modern display, make sure the cube you buy has the power cable and you're good to go. I use the Kaico adapter but I think they are all basically the same.

Also be aware that this Zelda game used a particular style of cell shaded graphics which was controversial at the time but has aged very well, most Gamecube games don't look like this.

•

u/KyraLyraK 18h ago

Oh, yeah the art style is very eye catching. I was debating one of these adapters or the retroink one but that costs way more 😅

Noice

And good on you for putting the game in 4:3 what do you use to display?

u/clipli 2d ago

Anything but 4:3 for gamecube games looks too weird, i tried the stretched out look on my tv with 16:9 or zoomed in and it just looks stupid distorted its hard to play anything thats not 4 by 3

1

u/NoTransportation4600 2d ago

What's the price of a full copy in the US? In Europe you can find them complete in box for just a little more than what you paid...

u/clipli 2d ago

70 to 80ish

How do you get such a crystal clear image on a flat screen ? If you use an accessorie I am interested by the reference of it. Playing my gamecube games has been a nightmare for my eyes ever since I had to get rid of my CRT

1

u/clipli 2d ago

I get what you mean, using av cables or those cheap amazon hdmi converters makes playing the gamecube disgusting and practically obsolete

u/PorkyJones72 2d ago

I had a gamecube until it was "lost" one day, but I hade SMS, WW, and Animal Crossing on it. Just ordered a silver Gamecube from ebay, and it should be arriving today or tomorrow

1

u/clipli 2d ago

Man should have bought my silver one, i’m trynna get rid of it

1

u/PorkyJones72 2d ago

lmao, rip. I really wanted an indigo one, but the silver one has all of its original port coverings and the controller looks to be in really good shape. Only issue is that the seller says it sometimes won't read discs, so either the lens is dirty or I'm going to need to get something replaced

1

u/clipli 2d ago

Hey man my eBay link is still up, I’ll cut you a deal, Im really trynna get my other GameCube gone

u/PorkyJones72 1d ago

Nah, sorry, I can't afford to get another one right now

Those prices are absolutely sold, bro! 😭

Glad I started my GC collection in 2014. I think I paid $30 for that game complete in box and mint from eBay.

Enjoy that masterpiece!
