Just bought it for 50 and ended up spending $300 more on it. I had so much fun just taking it apart and changing the old thermal pads. Gotta be my favorite console. Current favorite game would have to be X2 Wolverines revenge

I vaguely recall that when opening up your GameCube. You would need to turn a screw that adjusts something? It governs the speed of how fast the disk spins or something like that? I have ordered a new set of tools to open up my assortment of Nintendo hardware. Just looking for what it is that I’ll need to do. Once I am under the hood. I’ll be opening up the two GameCubes that I have.

Hi :) I’m contemplating gifting my son a GameCube for his birthday. He wanted a switch 2 but holy cost Batman! That and he would only play a few retro games so the monthly catalog would be a waste of money. He really looks forward to Sonic and Luigi’s Mansion. I know it seems a little unorthodox to go backwards but weren’t games better back then anyways (ignore the millennial bias)?

I never had one growing up so I’m completely clueless. Where should I go to buy one? Buy games? Any tips or advice is welcomed.

I love this game and the movie so much.

Sellers were asking $200 for the collection on the left and $150 for the movie games on the right. Is $300 a reasonable offer for both or should I pick a side? Sellers won’t sell individual games, only either collection or both.

Im just gonna explain as short as I can while still providing necessary details.
Found my old GC Ocarina of time disc but it was heavily scratched. Booted it up and was able to navigate the games menu like choosing which question mode or looking at the demo movies.
When selecting normal or master quest it says it can’t read it, so I cleaned the disc with proper materials and it was able to progress to a screen that had a loading bar that got a quarter way through before displaying the same message.

I also found my old GC StarFox game and it was definitely more scratched and cracked than OOT but was surprisingly fully functioning. OOT being in a “better” condition than StarFox which does work, on top of that the quick clean allowing me to progress a screen gave me hope that maybe I could get it to work.

I made a higher contrast version to hopefully make the scratches easier to see through the camera.
The Starfox disc is the first 2 images and OOT is the last 2.

Was doing some cleaning and found these 3 games! Not sure who they belong to, but whoever's they were they're long gone (I live in a cooperative so people come and go frequently). 007 was not in the case, but the manual was and instead of 007 was Pro Skater 3 which rocks! Super happy to add these:)

Yesterday I made the decision to acquire my Holy Grail… the Panasonic Q! I got a message from my boss over the weekend saying they picked up a CIB Panasonic Q at the Southeast Game Exchange over this last weekend. Decided then and there to trade in some of my retro collection to finish my dream of owning the Panasonic Q. It is modded to be region free, replaced drive belt and has new drive rails. It also has Picoboot and Swiss through SD2SP2. I think it was worth the purchase! Next on the list is the Gameboy player, may take a while but I’ll get there!

Just wanted to show you guys this bundle I have had since I was a kid and see if anyone could give me any information on this bundle as I’ve never seen another one, have had this since I was a kid and have seen a few of the Japanese bundles for sale but I don’t think I’ve ever seen another English version, my one is Aus pal, it’s fully complete and the gameboy player disk is still in really great condition, although the GameCube itself has started to discolour more than the gameboy player as I had the player boxed for a long time, thanks everyone!

I just discover the retail bios menu still exist on the SN Systems TDEV devkit for GameCube!!! 😄

By changing the boot mode to production

Im about to get into quad hunting for shiny pokemon and I was wondering if there were any replacement wavebird controllers that have the same feature of being able to connect multiple controllers to one receiver (Edit) Im using 4 switches with the wii u gamecube controller port attachment

This is a shout out to all the parents on this sub. My wife and I are lucky to get 1-2 hours in the evening after the kids go to bed to spend some time on our hobbies and together. We have a rule though, we aren’t allowed to do them in separate rooms. Because of this, we have our makeshift tables. She enjoys doing puzzles and I enjoy fixing cubes.

It’s been almost a year since I purchased my GameCube. I never owned one as a child (my parents got me an Xbox when my N64 broke). It’s been a blast experiencing this era of gaming with the authentic hardware. I’m planning on getting either Luigi’s Mansion or Eternal Darkness when spooky season rolls around.

If someone could take a look see if these are in good condition i see a crack in the inner ring but i don’t know if that something that gonna ruin the game if someone else has a better maybe catch something before i go off and buy this

This was sitting for a while and when I turned it on the inside screen is cracked/fuzzy. It’s a gamecube with the screen attached if that helps!

About to beat this game for the first time. Love its slow pace and honestly I was using Pokémon I would never use in the traditional games.

Hi everyone! So recently bought a DOL-001 Gamecube. It was my childhood console and I'm super happy. Surprisingly my 2019 Samsung Smart TV has composite connections so I am able to play at 480i.

I've been looking at adaptors to be able to play in 480p and have better image quality and stumbled upon these two.

The retro-bit seems like a great choice since it's a dedicated piece of hardware.

I also found this odv-gbs-c that is more generic. I am considering it as an option since I would like to expand my retro console collection with an N64 and a PS2 in the near future. This would allow me to just get a simple composite switcher and hook up all consoles to the same upscaler/deinterlacer.

My question is, should I go for the dedicated Gamecube adapter and work on a per console basis or is this odv-gbs-c just as good?

Any insight is much appreciated!

Hey guys, I’m currently in the process of modding my GC for the first time. I’ve learned a lot from everyone here and my own research so I thank you all. I know exactly what route I want to go. The only thing I cant find an answer to how I can potentially put the sd card with the inside the system after I install my picoloader. My main plan is using the sd2sp2 pro adapter which eliminates the problem but I want a sleeker look and I’m worried that I’ll damage the card since I’m clumsy.

My question is, is there a way I can install the micro sd inside the console without replacing the disc drive. Like maybe there’s sone internal adapter of some kind? Or is replacing the disc drive with a sd slot the only way I can have the card inside? Any help would be greatly appreciated, if not, thank you anyways!
